Sound Field 101

Listening is the cornerstone of education.

Hearing is not the same as understanding. Instructional Audio Systems are the first step in maximizing the basic verbal connection between educators and pupils because it enhances and distributes the educator’s natural voice to every student in the classroom.

TeachLogic audio systems are specifically engineered for the learning environment. They create the ideal range for sound intelligibility while eliminating the educators need to raise their voice (projecting).

CONVERSATIONAL SPEECH VS. NATURAL VOICE

TeachLogic Sound Voice Left
 
Conversational speech is between 50-60dB. Loud speech is about 65dB. This range is the volume of a person’s natural voice.
TeachLogic Sound Voice Center
 
Natural voice projects the ideal range for sound intelligibility: the ability for the human ear to correctly discern between consonants and vowels.
TeachLogic Sound Voice Right
 
However, the further away from the teacher, the more difficult it becomes for students to comprehend what’s being said.

TEACHERS COMPENSATE BY RAISING THEIR VOICE (PROJECTING), BUT THIS IS NOT A SOLUTION.

Problem #1

PROJECTION OFTEN DECREASES INTELLIGIBILITY.

Problem #2

OVER TIME THIS LEADS TO VOICE HEALTH ISSUES.
