How our solutions help
Engage the whole class in learning
A small microphone worn by the teacher improves intelligibility and distribution of sound and optimizes the entire classroom’s ability to hear and comprehend lessons.
Build an environment for sharing
When a student’s voice is heard by peers and teachers, they gain the skills and self-confidence to confront and master future challenges and responsibilities.
Expand and simplify communication
Integrations with building communication systems keep teachers connected directly from their microphone across the school campus.
Lightspeed instructional audio systems create access to improved listening and learning between teachers and students.
Watch these short videos for a helpful overview of how our instructional audio solutions foster learning environments that are equitable, engaging and collaborative.
Don’t let these common barriers get in the way of learning
Intelligibility suffers with noise.
Background noises often obscure the soft consonant sounds, leaving “gaps” in speech and understanding.
Teachers’ voices are stressed.
Teacher’s spend up to 80% of the day talking and 18% miss work each year due to voice issues.
Speech gets quieter over distance.
Students farthest from the teacher only receive half the audio strength, leading to unequal access to learning.
Mild hearing loss is quite common.
Even temporary hearing loss due to ear infections and colds can lead to future deficiencies in subjects.
