Wireless microphones are available from the Digital Media Studio (x83059) for use in most of our auditoriums and in all HyFlex1, HyFlex2, and HyFlex2A learning spaces. The rooms use the same microphone with different frequencies for each location. Both hand-held and clip-on microphones are available.

The SMART Podium functions as both the instructor station PC's monitor and as a writing surface for annotating over digital content (eg, a PowerPointSlide or a webpage). It also has a virtual whiteboard feature.
