Why do classrooms need Trantec S10 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 S10 Soundfield System work?
A Trantec soundfield system consists of:
 |
The teacher wears the lightweight S10 beltpack
transmitter and microphone of choice. The S10 receiver can be wall
or shelf mounted, with Volume, Bass and Treble adjustment,
allowing the teacher to determine for themself, 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 S10 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 behavior.
| 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 S10 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 S10 soundfield System
delivers the correct level of sound amplification, combined with clear
and interference free speech reproduction.
| As the installation of the Trantec S10 will be a
significant investment for all schools, we thought that you should
purchase more than a speech amplification system. As a result, the S10
Receiver has 2 auxiliary audio inputs to enable teachers to connect,
cassette, CD, MP3 players, or even VCRs to the S10 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 S10. As a result, the S10 operates on the
frequency bands reserved for this equipment and the S10 receiver is
compatible, at the flick of a switch, with the existing transmitters.
We have achieved this by working very closely with the UK’s leading
supplier of these products.
| The S10 system allows the installer to select 1
frequency from a bank of 32 frequencies held within the transmitter
and receiver. The S10 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 |
