Revolutionary REDCAT:
No Installation, Easy-to-Use and Affordable
Traditional classroom audio requires cost-consuming commitments for planning and executing system
installations. REDCAT’s unique all-in-one design requires no installation, meaning easy adoption and
immediate results. The REDCAT and REDMIKE combination delivers clear audio, excellent sound
distribution and high speech intelligibility. It’s quick and affordable. REDCAT and REDMIKE make
everyone’s life easier.
This money-saving, no installation, all-in-one
audio system allows schools to put more
audio in more classrooms.
In today’s environment of tight budgets,
education professionals must save on time
and dollars wherever possible.
REDCAT’s sound is revolutionary: a wireless
infrared system, superior to conventional
FM. The advanced NXT™ speaker technology
fills a room with clear sound.
The all-in-one REDCAT is a true “plug
and play” unit allowing schools to bypass
complex, costly installation associated with
traditional audio systems.
No installation means no time-consuming
logistics meetings, and cuts out installation
hours altogether. REDCAT reduces time
commitments school-wide.
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.

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. By
having a microphone for student use,
I saw confidence grow in my students’
willingness to speak up during Headline
News and group discussions.
At the present time we have a specific
school…that is using amplification in almost
every classroom. 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.
