Our Basic Roger Soundfield 5000 Speaker Kit is a fully contained Soundfield Speaker Starter Kit with complete with Roger Touchscreen microphone which simultaneously transmits to roger receivers in hearing aids or to the Roger Neckloop to enable connection to telecoil programs in hearing aids.
The Soundfield 5000 speaker is a specialised hearing solution that dynamically adjusts sound to improve the learning environment for all listeners. Soundfield speakers specifically improve the listeners understanding of speech by providing an even distribution of sound between the teacher, the students and multimedia equipment.
Sensors within the Roger Touchscreen dynamically detect the rooms sound and adjust the acoustics to an optimal level. The volume automatically adjusts to:
- Minimise reverberation,
- Improve sound-to-noise ratios,
- Improved sentence recognition ability
- Increased attention, interaction and participation
- Quicker acquisition of reading, writing & numeracy skills
- Reduced teacher vocal strain
- Improved classroom management
- Direct hearing aid connectivity
What is a Soundfield Speaker and how does it work?
The soundfield speaker is a specialised hearing solution that dynamically adjusts sound to improve the learning environment for all listeners. Soundfield speakers improve the listeners understanding of speech by providing an even distribution of sound between the teacher, the students and any multimedia equipment.
Sensors within the Roger Digimaster Soundfield Speaker detect the sound in the room and adjust the acoustics to an optimal level. The volume automatically adjusts to:
- Minimise reverberation,
- Maintain sound to noise ratio at 15db above ambient noise,
- Reduce feedback.
The Digimaster 5000 V2 Soundfield is designed for a areas from 15 – 100 metres square – various classroom designs. A Basic Soundfield Package is an inclusive starting point to help all students, ranging from neuro-typical with an acute ear infection to severely disabled.
The DigiMaster 7000 V2 Soundfield is stronger speaker that can be combined with multiple speakers to cover large areas.
What other equipment is needed to use a soundfield?
Both Soundfield packages come with Dynamic Soundfield Speaker, Mount, Touchscreen Microphone and Power Supplies. Apart from GPO’s (standard power points), the soundfield does not require any additional equipment or infrastructure.
Will a Soundfield Speaker be beneficial for a student with a Hearing Aid or Assisted Listening Device?
Hearing aids and/or Cochlear implants provided to Australian children are equipped with Roger Receivers.
The use of a Roger™ Touchscreen Transmitter (teacher microphone) with a Roger Dynamic Soundfield Speaker in the classroom in combination with the Roger receiver is considered best practice. This combination ensures transmission of sound directly to the Roger Receiver on the child’s hearing aid, as well as dynamic adjustment of all sound within the classroom.
Phonak Soundfield Speakers are dynamic which means that they adjust the sound amplification to achieve the best acoustic environment for everyone in the room.
Soundfield usage offers:
- reduction of background noise,
- improved classroom behaviour,
- reduction in stigma associated with wearing a hearing aid, and
- greater control and quality of input from the teacher.
