TESTIMONIALS
  • We have decided to use Lightspeed in all the schools...the REDCAT proved to be a great option for the schools and the State Department staff is very pleased about the project
    B. Hunter - Superintendent, Alabama
  • Classroom audio systems have more impact on student learning than any other single piece of technology in the district.
    L. Hicok - Principal, Iowa
  • Words cannot express my satisfaction with the REDCAT sound system. It not only impacted a hearing impaired student, but all of my first graders became more attentive listeners and learners as a result of this product.
    D. Hippensteel - First grade Teacher, Missouri
  • The REDCAT system is amazing. In a world that keeps adding more to our job, it is nice that your company helps to make it easier. It works fantastically for me. Thank you for everything.
    T. Vaughaan - Second Grade Teacher, Oregon
  • The REDCAT offered something that other companies haven't been able to - an all-in-one system - with only one speaker that fills the room with equal sound. It is a high quality product and makes great fiscal sense! From the beginning (the) equipment far exceeded my expectations.
    S. Dornback - RISD Audiologist, Texas
  • The REDCAT is a truly fantastic piece of equipment that is proving to be an outstanding instructional tool for our schools.
    T. Dougherty - Superintendent, New York
