How to Choose Classroom AV Equipment and Classroom AV Systems
Match Your Charging Infrastructure to Device Count
Charging carts for 16 to 30 devices suit 1:1 Chromebook and iPad programs. Single-device desktop stations suit resource rooms. Before ordering, confirm UL or ETL listing and GFI-protected power strips. Browse Multiple Device Charging Stations to find the right capacity for your program.
Choose Audio Solutions for Instruction and Testing
Califone and Hamilton Buhl over-ear headsets meet Smarter Balanced and PARCC requirements. Ambient noise reduction prevents audio bleed in shared testing rooms. Stereo jack boxes serve up to 30 students from one audio source simultaneously. For students with sensory needs, see Kids Hearing Protection.
Choose Display Equipment by Room Size and Sightline
TV carts rated 200 or more pounds with VESA mounting accommodate 55 to 86-inch displays. Projector carts with height adjustment ensure correct sightlines. Confirm VESA pattern and weight rating before ordering display infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions
|
Q1: What classroom AV equipment does a 1:1 device program require? A 1:1 program requires charging carts matched to your device count, headsets compatible with your testing platform, and AV carts for room mobility. Luxor charging carts cover 8 to 30 devices per unit. Browse Classroom Charging Stations to confirm the right capacity before ordering. |
|
Q2: Are your classroom charging stations UL-listed? Yes. All Luxor and Hamilton Buhl charging stations carry UL or ETL listings. GFI-protected power strips prevent circuit overload in institutional environments. Confirm listing on individual product spec sheets before ordering for your district. |
|
Q3: Do your AV carts work on carpet and tile flooring? Yes. AV carts with full-swivel 4-inch industrial casters cross carpet-to-tile transitions without tipping. Locking casters secure the cart in position during use. Confirm caster type and weight rating on individual product pages for your specific floor type. |
|
Q4: Can I order classroom AV equipment on a cooperative contract? Yes. Today's Classroom holds active contracts with TIPS, NCPA, and PEPPM. District IT directors and purchasing officers can order without a separate bid process. We also accept school POs, ESSER funds, and Net 30 terms. Call 877-909-9910 or visit the Project Team page to get started. |
|
Q5: What headset meets state testing requirements in K-12 schools? Califone and Hamilton Buhl wired headsets with 3.5mm connectors meet Smarter Balanced and PARCC testing requirements. Noise-reducing over-ear models prevent audio bleed in shared testing rooms. Quick Ship units ship within 5 business days to meet testing deadlines. |
|
Q6: What is the difference between AV carts and charging carts? AV carts transport display equipment, projectors, and presentation devices between rooms. They include cable management and power strips but are not designed to charge multiple devices simultaneously. Charging carts are dedicated to powering and securing 8 to 30 devices per unit with individual charging slots and lockable steel doors. |
|
Q7: Can your team help design a full-building AV infrastructure layout? Yes, at no charge. Our Project Team provides needs assessment, compliance guidance, custom AV layouts, and 3D renderings for complete building deployments. We conduct in-person site visits nationwide.
