Specifically relevant in such cases, the XP308i's integrated iPod dock enables your MP3 player to playback audio clips in promoting a more interactive listening experience for any audience.
Academic Accompaniment
In addition to all students, teachers and professors utilizing the XP308i in some of the same circumstances as business professionals (presentations, audio playback), the system possesses some functions unique to music education. The unit is ideal for directing large instrumental ensembles. XP308i will help conductors keep even their percussionists on task. Thanks to it's integrated iPod dock, soloists and small ensembles can practice along with recorded accompaniment. Also, the XP308i's audio playback abilities make the analysis of recorded music easier, as well as a more interactive listening and educational experience.
Take It Outside
Beyond producing impeccable public announcement sound quality, the XP308i's elements of portability make it ideal for countless recreational uses. For a traveling instructor, the XP308i is perfect for leading exercise/yoga classes in fitness clubs. Outdoor functions pose no problem whatsoever for the XP308. Block parties, sporting events, and matters of crowd control now have a more practical, and still extremely portable, alternative to the megaphone. The XP308i is also sure to excite the tailgating crowd, now able to demonstrate their team spirit at a level never before possible, or simply provide musical entertainment for a classic tailgate party.
