NOISE – the BIG enemy of learning
Noise from chatting classmates, projectors, PCs, rattling furniture, other classes and traffic are common contributors to a subtly destructive background level. Reverberation from hard classroom surfaces adds distortion to the problem. Many teachers try to compensate by raising their voices. Unfortunately this does little to improve the situation. Hoarseness, serious voice strain, frustration, stress and loss of control are some of the results of trying to fight classroom noise without help.

Tackling voice strain with PC Werth Soundfield
Because PC Werth Soundfield lets you speak in a normal conversational tone, reaching all parts of the classroom, you’ll experience less voice trouble and lower overall fatigue at the end of the day
In a typical classroom vocal signal levels decline dramatically over relatively short distances, masked by background noise. Dead zones will leave some students out of the centre of attention. But after PC Werth Soundfield is installed, voice levels are maintained throughout the classroom area. Nobody is left out and comprehension levels increase, whilst overall classroom control improves.
