The LC4 Music Lab offers music educators an intuitive, flexible way to teach a group of students all at once, one-on-one, or split into smaller groups all without ever leaving their own instrument!
The LC4 BASE comes with everything needed (except musical instruments to be added) for 8 students and 1 teacher (9 stations). That's all the headsets, cabling, I/O boxes, Hub and Control Unit to get a lab up and running fast. The LC4 EXPANSION comes with everything needed to add 8 more students to the LC4 BASE (excluding instruments / max 48 students).
The LC4 music lab system effectively allows an instructor ubiquitous control over classes expandable to as many as 48 students. Using a system of headphones/mics, it's as if each student is isolated in their own virtual practice room, ideal for private practice or one-on-one instruction with a teacher. But with the touch of a button the practice room walls are instantly removed for group study, teacher-only broadcasts, or "all-together-now" ensemble performances. Instructors even have a powerful MUTE button disabling the students' instruments when it's time to pay attention.
Any instrument with a stereo headphone output can be taught using the LC4 including Yamaha keyboards, digital pianos, Silent Series brass and string instruments, or electronic percussion. Exclusive features like the heavy duty Yamaha CM500 headset-microphones and the Mega Group quick configuration button set the LC4 apart from its contemporaries.
