The Cassette Learning Center is designed for high use listening centers within classrooms and libraries. It is ideal for story time activities, music and movement, literacy groups, ELD and ESL applications. Its six monaural headphones help keep students on task while the ambient noise-reducing earcups reduce the need to turn the volume up to harmful levels (recommended by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association). The eight-position jackbox leaves room to add additional students.

“The Califone transmitter and cordless headphone system is ideal for our self-paced school! Multiple groups listen to music, do computer work or watch a video without disturbing the rest of the class. This keeps down unnecessary talking among students and permits other classroom discussions to continue without interruption.” Jerry Knighton Social Studies Teacher Pep Alternative High School Pep, Texas
A: The monaural jackbox that is included in the CAS1500PLC 6-person cassette learning center must be connected to the CAS1500 cassette player/recorder’s headphone jack.
A: Our monaural jackbox1218AVPY has the capability for daisy chaining; it even features a designated daisy-chain jack. When you add an additional 1218AVPY to your CAS1500PLC via daisy chaining, the playback volume won’t be impacted at all and you get to use all 16 headphone jacks for a group of up to 16 students.
A: The Cassette Recorder/Player (CAS1500) included in the CAS1500PLC features two ¼” headphone jacks, one is labeled as “HP/EXT SPKR” and the other is labeled as “HP”. When the jackbox is plugged into the “HP” headphone jack, the audio will be played through all connected headphones plus the built-in speaker, enabling you to monitor students’ pace. When the jackbox is plugged into the “HP/EXT SPKR” jack, the audio will be played through the connected headphones only.
A: If using an AC adapter to power the CAS1500, check to make sure it is connected to the wall properly. If using batteries, make sure you are using four "C" batteries that are fully charged. Also, check so that the volume level is not all the way down. If the problem persists, please contact our Tech Support Dept.
