FrontRow ezRoom Trio
by Boxlight
Product Overview
The ezRoom Trio is the only all-in-one classroom media solution offering premium sound quality and complete scalability. Designed for easy installation in drop ceilings, it replaces a single 2x2 ft tile with a three-speaker array. The solution requires only a single electrical connection and an optional network connection, making it ideal for FrontRow installations where equipment needs to be secured, out of sight, and connected.

Wall-mount AV plates and control panels provide accessible customization for teachers. The ezRoom Trio addresses virtually any communication or control need within a classroom or across a campus.
