What is a sound field system?

aA sound field system is specially developed for understanding speech, and improves the sound and learning environments for everyone in the classroom.

A typical FrontRow sound field system consists of four speakers, a receiver, a wireless microphone for the teacher and a wireless pass microphone.

How does it work?
The sound field system amplifies the teacher's voice to a little above the background noise in the classroom and distributes the voice evenly around the room. Students at the back of the classroom can thus hear the teacher and the other students just as well as those at the front of the class. Now all the students can hear what is being said - and the teacher's voice does not get strained.

Phonic Ear's FrontRow sound field system
We supply two different types of sound field systems:

FrontRow Pro Digital
FrontRow To Go



A classroom without a sound field system
The sound level of the teacher's voice drops away very quickly over a relatively short distance. Dead zones also result in some students not being able to hear optimally.



A classroom with a sound field system
The sound level of the teacher's voice is evenly distributed over the entire classroom, so that all students - regardless of where they are sitting - are able to hear.
