The Swift Digital is a wireless infra-red soundfield system which benefits
both students and tutor ‒ a few minutes of your time will help you
understand how and why the system works so well.
A soundfield system...
benefits the tutor
offering greatly reduced
vocal fatigue, improved
class discipline and
attentiveness.
Less repetition is required
and there is a generally
less stressed teaching day.
benefits the student
offering improved speech clarity and verbal recognition for all
class members including those with permanent or temporary
hearing loss. Academic performance has been shown to
improve with the introduction of a soundfield system.
A relaxed listening experience
Try the system out with a colleague before using it in class. When setting the volume, if you
can hear your own voice very clearly from the Swift Digital unit from across the classroom
then the volume is probably too loud! Make sure you experience the system by listening to
somebody else. Listening for yourself is the best way to understand why the Swift Digital
system does not need to be set very loud to achieve an enhanced and relaxing listening
experience.
Siting the Swift Digital
The Swift Digital unit is usually best positioned at the opposite end of the classroom to the
tutor, above seated head height. Although the Swift Digital has a single hyper-wide
dispersion speaker, when in use the system actually has two ‘speakers’. One is the Swift
Digital and the other is yourself ‒ a sound source at both ends of the room.
When set up properly, a soundfield system will actually reduce the overall noise level in a
classroom and because there is no need to ‘talk loudly’ it gives a pervasive, clearer & more
natural sound to your voice.
Swift Digital remote volume adjust
The Swift Digital has a remote volume adjust feature for use with a Swift
TX
transmitter.
