Audio splitters Califone

The new Common Core State Standards will increase the frequency of formative assessments. To facilitate better informed instruction, the 1216USB Jackbox is the first two-way jackbox that can distribute audio for listening like a traditional jackbox does and capture vocal responses.

This added flexibility enables student collaboration and teachers to actively monitor language acquisition and reading progress. It doubles the effectiveness of literacy and language learning with speech utilization, making it ideal for group listening centers, ELL/ELD applications, special education, language labs, podcasting to demonstrate lesson proficiencies as well as for call center training and multiple users on a VOIP call.

The 1216USB jackbox connects up to six headsets to the color-coded dual 3.5mm headphone and microphone jacks. The connection end of the jackbox transfers students' responses through its USB plug to a Mac or PC computer for high-speed connection where their answers can be stored and replayed from for instant feedback and to check their progress.

Built with rugged ABS plastic casing for safety and durability for prolonged use in computer lab and classroom settings, master volume controls are included for both headphone listening and microphone inputs. The USB jackbox comes with a detachable 6v power adapter, a permanently attached 6' connecting cord with USB plug, five skid-resistant pads that won't mar or scrape a surface and has two predrilled holes to permanently affix it to a surface.
