Soundfield for schools

Help the teacher’s voice reach the whole classroom.

A well-specified SoundField system distributes speech through the room, giving students more consistent access to the lesson while allowing the teacher to speak naturally.

What SoundField does

More even speech coverage across the room.

A teacher wears a wireless microphone and their voice is reproduced through a classroom loudspeaker. The goal is not to make the room loud. It is to reduce the change in level between students close to the teacher and those further away.

  • Consistent access

    Supports clearer teacher speech as the teacher moves and students work in different parts of the room.

  • Whole-class use

    Can support everyday teaching, multimedia and shared classroom activities without singling out one learner.

  • Practical setup

    Room layout, charging, microphone use and audio connections are considered as part of installation.

Specify the room, not just the product

A dependable system starts with the listening environment.

Room size, layout, background noise, existing technology and how teachers actually teach all affect the right configuration.

Room assessment

Understand coverage, teaching positions, display audio, power and where equipment can be placed safely.

System selection

Choose compatible microphones, loudspeakers and connections based on the classroom’s real use.

Installation and handover

Configure and test the system, then give staff clear guidance for daily operation and charging.

SoundField and personal systems

They solve different listening problems.

A SoundField system serves the room. A remote microphone can send speech directly to a student’s compatible receiver or hearing technology. Where both are needed, they can form part of one planned classroom system.

Common questions

Before installing SoundField

Is SoundField only for students with hearing loss?

No. SoundField distributes speech for the room as a whole. A student who needs direct access through personal hearing technology may also require a remote microphone receiver.

Will it make the classroom too loud?

A correctly set up system is intended to support even, comfortable speech coverage, not excessive volume. Placement and level should be checked during installation.

Can it connect to the classroom display?

Multimedia options depend on the display, source devices and SoundField configuration. These connections can be reviewed when the system is specified.
