Soundfield

Benefits of a Soundfield System:

Sound field voice reinforcement systems provide mild amplification but need to be designed to optimise speech intelligibility. The Sound field system amplifies the wide natural dynamics of the human voice with minimal distortion.

Natural speech reproduction demands a wide frequency response throughout the entire transmission chain. The highest quality microphone, transmitter, receiver, and loudspeakers are essential to ensure that the full voice range, (especially the critical 16 consonant sounds), is reproduced. Soundfield Systems can use radio or infra-red transmission from a personal microphone worn by the user.

A suitable choice of speakers is critical to realize the full benefits of Sound Field amplification. Loudspeakers specifically designed for maximum speech intelligibility and uniform distribution of sound in classroom-sized spaces are necessary.

An extensive range of accessories enables the Sound-field system to be adapted to a wide range of applications. To allow for multipurpose use, the systems can be fitted with input sockets for connecting audiovisual equipment such as a tape recorder, TV, laptop or interactive whiteboard (eg. SMART Board™). In addition it is possible to connect the personal FM system of a hearing impaired child or an induction loop system for hearing aid users.

Portable Soundfield systems are also available where permanent installations are less practical or not cost effective.
