World class learning environments require first-class speech intelligibility.
The spoken word is vital to teaching - after all, teachers spend a majority of their time speaking. Speech intelligibility is therefore crucial: just as we'd never consider designing classes to leave students in conditions of low light or without proper visibility of the 'board, it is unacceptable in a modern teaching environment to leave students without proper access to the teacher's voice.
The latest acoustic treatments can prevent echo and reverberation in class, but cannot address the distance between student and teacher. It is also difficult to combat increasing ambient noise inside the class from computers, projector systems and ventilation. This means that without voice enhancement, more than half of what is said in class may be unintelligible to students - even in the very latest classes.
Soundfield capitalises on the opportunities presented by BSF and makes a cost-effective contribution to the acoustic performance of a room - usually at a fraction of the cost of traditional acoustic treatments. PC Werth have experience supporting and working with heads, architects and contractors in BSF, Primary Capital and new build projects from conception and installation, all the way through to staff training, for maximum effectiveness.
