Lightspeed™ Classroom SoundField Systems

Clearer Voices. Better Learning.

Every classroom presents listening challenges. Background noise, distance from the teacher and poor acoustics can reduce speech understanding for every student.


Lightspeed™ SoundField systems distribute the teacher's voice evenly throughout the classroom, creating an environment where every learner can hear clearly, participate confidently and stay engaged.


Hear Room provides independent advice, supply, system design, commissioning, training and ongoing support for Lightspeed classroom audio systems, helping schools create better listening environments for teachers and students.

Why Classroom Audio Matters

Classrooms are demanding listening environments. Background noise, distance and room acoustics can reduce the clarity of the teacher’s voice, making it harder for students to follow instruction and participate confidently.


Lightspeed™ classroom audio systems help address these challenges by distributing the teacher’s voice evenly throughout the learning space. This provides students with clearer access to speech, regardless of where they are seated.


Better access to the teacher’s voice can reduce listening effort, support student engagement and help teachers communicate naturally without continually raising their voice.

Common Classroom Listening Challenges

Background Noise

Air conditioning, projectors, hallway activity, neighbouring classrooms and student collaboration all contribute to background noise that competes with the teacher's voice.

Distance from the Teacher

Speech naturally becomes quieter as students move further away from the teacher. Students seated at the back or sides of the classroom may hear significantly less clearly than those seated at the front.

Classroom Acoustics

Hard surfaces such as concrete floors, glass and plasterboard reflect sound, creating reverberation that reduces speech intelligibility.

Teacher Voice Fatigue

Teachers often raise their voices throughout the day to ensure every student can hear. Over time, this can lead to vocal fatigue, discomfort and increased strain.

Good classroom listening isn't about making the teacher louder—it's about making speech clearer.

Hear Room, we assess each learning space independently to ensure the right classroom audio solution supports both teaching and learning. By considering acoustics, room size, teaching style and student needs, we help schools create environments where every voice can be heard and every learner has the opportunity to succeed.
