Why do classrooms need Trantec Soundfield Systems?
1 For the teacher to be
heard, the teacher’s voice must be louder than the ambient noise. In
many cases this means being louder than a coughing child, a passing
vehicle, an adjacent classroom etc.
2 For the teacher's louder
voice to benefit every student, they must all be able to hear, regardless
of where they are situated within the classroom. Many classrooms suffer
from poor acoustics, many teachers have softer voices and many students
have differing levels of hearing ability, which vary temporarily as a
result of colds and other infections.

| How does a Trantec Soundfield
System work?
A Trantec soundfield system consists of:
 |
- A Trantec radio microphone S10LTX beltpack
with a choice of Trantec TS10 head worn, or TS259 Clip on
microphone.or the new Neck Worn TS11
- A Trantec S11 wall mount receiver
amplifier.
- 2 or more pairs of wall or ceiling mounted
speakers complete with speaker cable.
|
 |
The teacher wears the lightweight S10 beltpack
transmitter and microphone of choice. The S11 receiver can be wall
mounted with Volume, Bass and Treble adjustment, allowing the
teachers to determine for themselves the correct volume level for
their classroom. The speakers are positioned around the classroom,
to give an even coverage, enabling all students to hear. |
What are the benefits of a Trantec Soundfield
System?
 |
- All students hear what is being taught.
This allows them to listen and to learn. This leads to
improvements in levels of concentration, increases in
attention span and a tangible reduction in disruptive
behaviour.
- Teachers, will be required to talk at lower
levels, reducing the strain on their voice. This could lead to
a reduction in the number of days absent from resultant throat
infections.
- The above factors lead to a happy, healthy
and stress free environment, in which both teachers and
students can perform optimally.

Why should I choose the Trantec Soundfield System?
- UK Manufacturer, Trantec has been designing and
manufacturing, high quality wireless products for many years. It
should therefore come as no surprise that the S11 Soundfield System
delivers the correct level of sound amplification, combined with clear
and interference free speech reproduction.
- · As the installation of the Trantec will be a
significant investment for all schools, we thought that you should
purchase more than a speech amplification system. As a result, the S11
Receivers have 2 auxiliary audio inputs to enable teachers to connect,
cassette, CD, MP3 players, or even VCRs to the Soundfield system. We
have also added a Mic/Mix mode to enable the teacher to provide a
commentary over any audio input. There are also 2 audio outputs, to
connect to larger sound systems or to an induction loop if required.
- Many schools already have wireless hearing
products, for there hearing impaired children. We wanted to integrate
this equipment with the Soundfield system As a result, the S11
operates on the frequency bands reserved for this equipment and the
S11 receivers are compatible, at the flick of a switch, with the
existing Radio Aid transmitters. We have achieved this by working very
closely with the UK's leading supplier of these products.
- The Soundfield system allows the installer to
select 1 frequency from a bank of 32 frequencies held within the
transmitter and receiver. The Soundfield system is available in 3
banks of 32 frequencies, making it the most flexible product in the
market place, and enabling it to be installed in even the largest of
educational establishments.
