San Fernando, Calif. – Califone International Inc. has released a top-of-the-line model of its cassette recorder/player, which is used most often by educators for literacy development, English language learning and foreign language applications. As budget cuts and the digital divide persists in many schools, teachers continue to incorporate cassette tapes into instruction to ensure a rich media environment. With the new 10-Watt Deluxe Model, educators and librarians can maximize their previous investment in educational audio resources. The 10-Watt Deluxe model (http://www.califone.com/products/cas5272.php) is loud enough to be heard by 75 people and for listening center uses, and features seven built-in headphone jacks, eliminating the need for a jackbox for small groups. Its built-in electret mic is complemented by 3.5mm mic and 2.5mm remote dynamic mic inputs for recording.
The new model takes the place of the 5262AV and 5272AV, its 5 and 10-Watt predecessors. Since classroom and library audiovisual gear needs to be rugged enough to withstand the knocks and bumps associated with everyday use, the new player/recorder is made from tough ABS plastic. It has an auto-stop function, which minimizes strain on the tape itself once the end of a side is reached, helping to preserve the tape. The rugged player/recorder is also available in a powered learning center (CAS5272PLC) configuration with six monaural headphones and a sturdy storage case.
“The introduction of the upgraded Deluxe player/recorder is the third release of a cassette product this year by Califone,” shared Tim Ridgway, the company’s vice president of marketing. “It reflects our continued commitment to the category. Technology continues to evolve in daycare centers, schools and libraries, but they still have an investment in content stored on cassette which Califone will continue to serve.”
The other two products introduced earlier in 2011 are an upgraded CardMaster Card Reader and the Budget Cassette player/recorder. Califone® International, Inc., Model 3065AV, gives educators a durable, high-quality audio solution that is also cost effective for today’s classroom.
