Korg GECIII in Language Labs

The heart of our language lab solutions is the Korg Group Education Controller 3, or GEC3.  Based on our extensive work with teachers over the last 10 years, the GEC3 has evolved into a stereo, fully-digital, flexible and cost-effective audio routing system.  Its performance is unmatched by any other available language lab solution.

Suitable for any teaching level the GEC3 allows teachers to interact with as many as 32 different student stations and up to 64 students, since each student station can accommodate two students!

Multiple Modes Mean Flexibility
There are three main modes of the GEC3 operation.  Each of these can be selected from buttons to the right of the touch screen interface.  They include:
• Lecture Mode: This mode is used to present material in a lecture format.
• Practice Mode: This mode is used if the students are working independently.  The teacher has the option of “eavesdropping” on the student and initiating 2-way communication with the student.
• Group Mode: This mode is used when students are working together in group (two or more student workstation in any conceivable order).  Each student in a group can communicate with other members of their group.

Packed with Easy-to-Use, Intelligent Features
• Full digital design throughout, featuring digital transfer of audio from each student station to the GEC3 unit, S/PDIF output for digital recording of any workstation in the system, and conventional analog inputs and outputs.
• Large, intuitive 240 x 320 touch screen user interface featuring each to navigate menus.
• Customized settings for up to 16 teachers.
• Each teacher can configure 8 classes and display student names for each class.
• SmartMedia cards allow storage and back-up of teacher and class information.
