OWI Inc Demos CRS-101 Infrared Wireless Microphone System at California Charter Schools Conference

Compact, Wall-Mounted System Gives ESL Teacher at San Fernando (CA) Middle School Her Best Year Ever

Carson, Calif.—March 5, 2009-- OWI Inc, a manufacturer of advanced audio equipment for AV integrators, commercial, industrial and residential markets, will be exhibiting at the 16th Annual California Charter Schools Conference March 10-13, 2009, at the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, California. OWI will be demonstrating the CRS-101 Infrared Wireless Microphone System at its booth #0818. The company’s extensive line of audio enhancement products will be on display as well.

The OWI CRS-101 System provides clear sound throughout the classroom whether a student sits at the front or rear of the classroom. Lisa Meza, an English Second Language teacher at San Fernando Middle School cannot believe the difference since a CRS-101 system was installed in her classroom last fall. “With the wireless microphone I can easily keep all the student’s attention focused on the lesson being taught, without raising my voice. As a result, classroom behavior problems have all but vanished. The classroom atmosphere is so peaceful now,” she said.

“I don’t go home exhausted with a strained voice any more. The other teachers at San Fernando have noticed the positive change and keep coming by my classroom to see for themselves,” she added. “My own children attend a school with amplified classrooms, so I was already aware of all the benefits. The installation was so simple—in less than an hour one installer had the entire system up and running.”

The Infrared Wireless CRS 101 Microphone System is housed in a slim, fully lockable, wall mounted case. Because the unit is wall-mounted, there are no freestanding or rack-mounted components to take up closet space or be knocked off a shelf, and no unsightly tangle of wires. The infrared receiver/amplifier/mixer is able to accept three different line level inputs.

The CRS-101 System can simultaneously control two included infrared wireless microphones, and each device can adjust its volume by independent controls to obtain the best audio effects for each individual room layout. The CRS-101 System comes complete with two OWI ceiling speakers. Further sound customization can be achieved by adding two more optional OWI ceiling or surface mounted speakers. The complete system is attractively priced at $990.

OWI has a 30-year history of consistently bringing innovative products to the audio market. They offer a full line of high-end speaker products including indoor/outdoor speakers, self-amplified ceiling, in-wall and trumpet speakers, pendant speakers, and weatherized speakers. Their audio products are in use around the world at major theme parks, hotels, casinos, golf courses and retail centers.
