HOW SOUND SYSTEMS FOR SCHOOLS CAN ENHANCE LEARNING AND SCHOOL SPIRIT

Sound Systems for Schools That Enhance Learning and School Spirit

The ability to hear an instructor is critical to students’ success. No matter what their age, students who struggle to hear and comprehend words due to hearing loss or other issues often suffer from delayed speech and language skills, lower grades/academic achievement, social isolation, and poor self-esteem. These things all contribute to success, or lack of it, later in life.

If your school is considering the installation of a new system or upgrading its current sound system, it is worth spending some time researching the various systems available and determining which ones will meet your needs.

Below you’ll find an introduction to the three school sound systems and the basic differences in how they operate, as well as the benefits of using them in your educational environment.

PAGING SYSTEMS

A paging system is a critical piece of audio infrastructure in every school. This type of sound system has been in use in schools for decades, allowing teachers and administrators to communicate messages to the entire school.

Paging systems are used for a variety of purposes. Among the most common are to send out emergency messages, make daily announcements (such as student birthdays, recognizing team achievements, announcing upcoming events), or simply call students to the office.

Traditional systems had one centrally located microphone, but today’s modern paging systems are connected to the school’s telephone infrastructure. This allows the principal, teachers and administrators to communicate messages to the entire school by picking up a phone and entering the access code.

CLASSROOM SYSTEMS

Our classroom sound systems are pre-configured to make it easy to shop for and purchase the perfect classroom audio system for your educational application. These classroom audio solutions save teachers’ voices and help students hear clearly and learn better by improving speech intelligibility and comprehension.

The number of speakers in each classroom will depend on the size of the room and the purpose for which they will be used. An effectively designed sound system ensures that all students can hear the teacher during presentations, students during speeches, audio during movies, and much more. Classroom sound systems are designed to enhance the learning environment of students.

SCHOOL GYM SYSTEMS

School gyms are also often used to host events, from weekly basketball games to daily volleyball practice to the annual prom – and everything in between. These are exciting occasions that draw crowds of all sizes. The sound system within your gym is an essential element when it comes to engaging and entertaining every person on the court and in the bleachers.

In such a large space, it is important to have the proper system installed. Multiple large speakers are required to ensure all corners of the gymnasium can hear the message, amps boost the entertainment value of the music being played and good microphones prevent the message from getting lost in static.

SOUND SYSTEM FOR SCHOOL HALLS

The heart of any school is its hall. With assemblies, concerts, presentations, and drama shows, it’s a versatile space that often finds itself as the central hub of daily school life.

A sound system for any hall must be just as versatile, and able to perform at many different volume levels to suit.

It must be easy to operate by both staff and students and be installed in a way that doesn’t intrude visually, but provides clear and defined sound when in use.

SCHOOL PUBLIC ADDRESS SYSTEM

Though some schools do play background music around the building, the main function of an audio installation is for announcements and updates. This can be anything from paging a staff member or student to a health and safety warning or general information on an event.

Installed audio systems allow full access to all areas of the school from one convenient location, such as a main office or reception desk. This makes the entire site

SCHOOL LOCKDOWN SYSTEMS

Modern problems require modern solutions, and our school lockdown systems are an important part of any school that wants its staff and students to be as safe as possible.

Emergency buttons located around the school premises can be pushed in an emergency situation. They signal the school’s main PA system and totally override it, playing out a pre-recorded warning message or instructions at a preset volume.
