Lightspeed DRQ Drop Ceiling Speaker
The Lightspeed DRQ is a low-profile, two-way drop-ceiling speaker that flush-mounts into a suspended ceiling tile to deliver clear, full-range sound evenly across the classroom. Paired with a Lightspeed amplifier system, the DRQ distributes the teacher's voice and multimedia audio so every student hears every word — with a clean, unobtrusive finish and wiring routed neatly overhead.
Why choose the DRQ
Clean, flush installation — sits flush in an acoustic ceiling tile with the supplied metal tile bridge; no bulky boxes on show.
Full-range, two-way sound — a 6.5" driver and 1" tweeter reproduce both speech and multimedia clearly.
Even room coverage — a set of four DRQs distributes sound evenly across a typical classroom.
Made for suspended ceilings — ideal for rooms with drop ceilings up to around 3.6 m (12 ft) high.
Coverage & compatibility
Four DRQ speakers cover classrooms of up to around 149 m² (1,600 sq ft) with 9–12 ft ceilings. Designed to work with a Lightspeed classroom amplifier system such as the T25 (or 975).

Lightspeed Flexmike Battery – for Access Systems (NH2.4V)
$32.00 ex GST
($35.20 inc GST)
Keep your Access Flexmike ready to go with a genuine Lightspeed rechargeable battery pack (NH2.4V) — the 2.4 V NiMH battery for the Access-generation Flexmike (FMA) teacher microphone.
Please note: this is the NiMH battery for Access-generation mics. The newer Point-to-Pair Flexmike (FMN) uses a different lithium-ion battery — see the L3.7V battery.
Why keep a spare
Classroom microphones are used all day, every day, and rechargeable batteries lose capacity over time. It's worth replacing them roughly once a year — and keeping a spare on the shelf — so a flat battery never interrupts a lesson.

Lightspeed Flexmike Earbud Attachment (EBL)
$50.00 ex GST
($55.00 inc GST)
The Flexmike earbud attachment (EBL) is a Flexmike lanyard with an integrated earbud. The earbud piece attaches to the lanyard and plugs into your existing Flexmike, letting the teacher privately monitor audio while wearing the mic.
When you'd use it
The earbud is used for monitoring — most useful with Activate and Flexcat (Pod-based) small-group systems, where the teacher listens to small-group or two-way audio through the earbud. It isn't needed for a standard soundfield setup, such as a Redcat used on its own.
What it fits
Attaches to your existing Lightspeed Flexmike teacher microphone.

Lightspeed Flexmike T3 Teacher Microphone (FMN, Point-to-Pair)
$630.00 ex GST
($693.00 inc GST)
The Lightspeed Flexmike T3 is the pendant-style teacher microphone at the heart of a Lightspeed classroom audio system. Worn on a comfortable magnetic lanyard, it picks up the teacher's natural speaking voice and carries it clearly through the classroom speaker — so there's no need to raise your voice, and every student hears every word. At just 34 g, it's light enough to forget you're wearing it.
Why teachers love the Flexmike
Speak naturally, all day — your voice is amplified evenly across the room, reducing the vocal strain that builds up over a teaching day.
Light and comfortable — a 34 g pendant on a magnetic-clasp lanyard that's quick to put on and take off.
Point-to-pair simplicity — just point the Flexmike at your Lightspeed system to connect; no menus, no fuss.
All-day battery — up to 8 hours on a charge, so it lasts the school day.
Two-way audio for distance learning — the USB-C interface links students at home with the teacher and the live classroom.
Point-to-pair, and compatible across the range
The Flexmike runs on Lightspeed's Access Technology (1.9 GHz) for a long wireless range with no Wi-Fi interference. It works with the Point-to-Pair Lightspeed systems — including the Redcat, Topcat and T25 (and the 975), the Mobile PA and Access Link — so it's easy to add or move a teacher mic between rooms.

Lightspeed Media Connector (MCN)
The Lightspeed Media Connector (MCN) brings all your classroom multimedia into your audio system — wirelessly. Connect it to your main media source, such as a computer or interactive display panel, and it transmits high-quality audio straight to your Lightspeed system, so videos, music and online content play clearly through the same speaker that carries the teacher's voice.
Why add the Media Connector
Multimedia everyone can hear — media audio is distributed evenly across the room, not from a laptop's tinny speaker.
Wireless integration — transmits to your Lightspeed system with no long cable runs across the room.
Connect several sources — up to four 3.5 mm audio inputs, each with volume control, so you can bring in more than one device.
Two-way USB-C audio — links classroom audio with computers for video conferencing and remote learning.

Lightspeed Mobile PA – Portable Classroom & Outdoor Audio System
$3,300.00 ex GST
($3,630.00 inc GST)
The Lightspeed Mobile PA is a portable, all-in-one instructional audio system that takes clear, powerful sound anywhere learning happens — the gym, the sports oval, assemblies, excursions and beyond. It's a true grab-and-go unit: everything stores on board, it runs all day on battery, and there's no setup, special training or complicated connections. Just pick it up and be heard.
Why schools choose the Mobile PA
Powerful, portable sound — a 40 W RMS speaker with dedicated woofer and tweeter fills large, active spaces with clear, intelligible audio.
All-day battery — the removable, fast-charging battery runs for a full school day and recharges in around 3 hours.
Dual power — run it on battery for complete mobility, or plug into AC power for fixed use.
Bluetooth with Voice Priority — stream music or media from a phone or laptop, and the teacher's voice automatically ducks the background audio whenever the microphone is in use.
Everything on board — an integrated cradle stores and charges the mics, while one-button control and a carry strap with built-in handle make it effortless to move.
Point-to-pair wireless, ready anywhere
The Mobile PA runs on Lightspeed's Access Technology (1.9 GHz) for a long wireless range (up to 60 m in open field) with no Wi-Fi interference. Pairing is instant — simply point the microphone at the Mobile PA to connect. It's part of the Lightspeed family too, so it works with the same wireless microphones, batteries and Media Connector your school already uses.
Double the coverage for bigger spaces
Need to cover a full gymnasium or large oval? Add a second Mobile PA as a wireless companion speaker and double the power and coverage area at the press of a button.
Ideal for
PE, sport and outdoor lessons
Assemblies, presentations and performances

Lightspeed T25 Classroom Audio System (Amplifier + Clearmike)
The Lightspeed T25 is an installed classroom audio system built around a compact wireless amplifier hub. It delivers clear, even distribution of the teacher's voice, student voices and multimedia audio throughout the room, connecting to your ceiling or wall speakers for a permanent, professional install. The T25 is Lightspeed's successor to the long-running 975 amplifier, adding point-to-pair wireless, digital multimedia inputs and built-in integration with school life-safety systems.
Why schools choose the T25
Clear, even audio for the whole room — distributes the teacher's natural voice and multimedia evenly through ceiling or wall speakers, so every student hears every word.
One connected hub — brings the teacher microphone, classroom multimedia and student microphones together through a single amplifier.
Built for permanent installation — ideal for new builds, refurbishments and room additions where a fixed, out-of-the-way system is preferred.
Safety built in — integrates with your existing paging, fire and life-safety systems so critical announcements are never missed.
Point-to-pair wireless with the Clearmike
The T25 runs on Lightspeed's Access Technology (1.9 GHz) for longer wireless range with no Wi-Fi interference. Pairing is instant — simply point the Clearmike at the T25 to connect, so teachers can move between rooms or add components in seconds. The Clearmike wearable microphone includes programmable buttons and an alert button for one-touch safety notifications, plus 2-way USB audio to connect students learning from home.
Built-in life-safety integration
Paging: automatically mutes the instructional audio when a classroom announcement is broadcast.
Fire alarms: mutes the instructional audio when the fire alarm is activated.
Alert notifications: the teacher can trigger an alert directly from the microphone via the T25's contact-closure output.
Build your T25 system
The T25 is a modular system — choose the components to suit each room:
T25 amplifier + Clearmike teacher microphone — the core of every system
Speakers — TCS multimedia ceiling speakers, DRQ drop-ceiling speakers or WMQ wall speakers, selected to suit the room size and ceiling type
Student microphones — add Sharemike or T3 microphones so students can be heard clearly across the room and by remote peers

Upgrading from an older Lightspeed 975? The T25 is its direct successor. Ideal for primary and secondary classrooms, libraries and hall spaces across Australia.
Lightspeed TCQ Multimedia Ceiling Speaker
The Lightspeed TCQ is a flat-panel hybrid ceiling speaker that fills an entire classroom with clear, even sound — from a single unit. It combines Lightspeed's Exciter Technology flat panel (the same approach used in the Redcat and Topcat) with a low-frequency cone driver, delivering high speech intelligibility and full-range multimedia audio, so every student hears every word.
Why choose the TCQ
One speaker, whole-room coverage — a single TCQ covers a typical classroom, so there's less to install and wire than a four-speaker array.
Even, wide distribution — flat-panel exciter technology spreads sound evenly across the room rather than beaming it from a single point.
Clear speech and multimedia — the hybrid panel-plus-cone design handles both the teacher's voice and full-range media audio.
Clean, unobtrusive fit — drops into a standard suspended ceiling grid with the supplied mounting hardware.
Compatibility
Designed for use with Lightspeed classroom amplifier systems. Fits standard 2' × 2' or 2' × 4' suspended ceiling grid tiles.

Lightspeed Topcat Ceiling Classroom Audio System (with Clearmike)
The Lightspeed Topcat is an all-in-one, ceiling-mounted classroom audio system that distributes the teacher's voice and multimedia evenly across the whole room. Its hybrid speaker design pairs a flat-panel speaker for clear, intelligible speech with a cone speaker for full-range multimedia sound — all in a single unit that lays neatly into the ceiling. With wireless audio integration and simple installation, the Topcat suits both new builds and existing classrooms.
Why schools choose the Topcat
Full-range hybrid audio — a flat-panel speaker spreads speech evenly to every seat, while a dedicated cone speaker delivers rich multimedia sound.
Seamless ceiling design — disappears into the ceiling for a clean, clutter-free room, with no speakers taking up wall or floor space.
Lower installation cost — wireless connectivity to microphones and multimedia removes the need for long, expensive cabling runs.
Even coverage for the whole class — every student hears the teacher clearly, wherever they sit.
Point-to-pair wireless with the Clearmike
The Topcat runs on Lightspeed's Access Technology (1.9 GHz) for longer wireless range with no Wi-Fi interference. Pairing is instant — simply point the Clearmike at the Topcat to connect, so teachers can move between rooms or add components in seconds. The Clearmike wearable microphone includes programmable buttons and an alert button for one-touch safety notifications, plus 2-way USB audio to connect students learning from home.
Built-in life-safety integration
Paging: automatically mutes the instructional audio when a classroom announcement is broadcast.
Fire alarms: mutes the instructional audio when the fire alarm is activated.
Alert notifications: the teacher can trigger an alert directly from the microphone via the Topcat's contact-closure output.
Engage every student
Student voice — add a Sharemike or Qball microphone so students can be heard clearly across the room and by remote peers.
Multimedia ready — add the Media Connector to stream audio wirelessly from computers, panels and mobile devices.
