Microphone & Speaker System to Amplify Teacher's Voice

Help me give my students a way to hear my voice very clearly.

My Project

It's hard to teach while wearing a mask, so I want to amplify my voice with this microphone and speaker system.

This system will help my students hear me very clearly, without them having to strain their hearing, or me having to strain my voice.

Several colleagues have this and love it!

This way, I won't run the risk of straining my voice and will be able to talk over our very loud and very old heater fan. Thank you for helping support my ability to teach clearly and efficiently!
