How Important is Classroom and School Acoustics?
Sound in classrooms and schools plays a very important role, directly affecting the quality of teaching and learning. A good sound system helps teachers convey knowledge clearly, students easily absorb, and also supports other school activities.
The specific role of sound in schools:
- Improve teaching effectiveness: Clear, noise-free sound helps students concentrate better and absorb lessons better.
- Communicate information quickly: The public address system helps to convey information and emergency announcements to the entire school effectively.
- Create a positive learning environment: High quality, non-irritating sound helps students feel more comfortable and interested in the learning process.
- Support extracurricular activities and events: A good sound system helps ceremonies, cultural performances, and sports activities take place professionally and successfully.
- Protecting teachers' voice health: Quality sound system helps teachers not to speak too loudly, reducing voice stress.
Popular Sound Systems in Schools
There are 4 common sound systems in schools including: classroom teaching sound system, meeting room and hall sound system, announcement sound system and sound system for big events such as flag salute and art performances.
1. Classroom sound system
The classroom sound system is designed to amplify voices and multimedia sounds, ensuring that students in all positions can hear clearly and evenly. Especially in large classrooms (80-100m²), this system helps overcome the problem of students at the end of the class having difficulty hearing, increasing concentration and learning efficiency. In addition, it supports teachers to teach more gently and easily integrates with equipment such as computers and projectors to serve modern teaching.
Basic equipment in a classroom sound system includes:
- LoA: Usually 2 to 4 wall-mount box speakers with moderate power, about 30W is the most popular choice.
- Amplifier: A compact mixer amplifier with built-in microphone jacks and inputs for other music sources.
- Microphone: Gooseneck microphone placed on the podium, or wireless lapel/handheld microphone for teachers to move flexibly.
- Wires and accessories: Speaker cables, signal cables and specialized speaker mounts.
2. Sound system for meeting rooms and halls
The sound system of the hall requires large capacity and professional signal processing capabilities to serve events such as seminars, celebrations or performances. With large and crowded spaces, the system needs to ensure that the sound is far-reaching, evenly covered, and effectively controls echo and prevents howling. The digital signal processor (DSP) plays an important role, fine-tuning the sound through Equalizer, Compressor and integrating automatic anti-howling technology, ensuring that the sound is always clear even when using multiple microphones at the same time.
Basic equipment in the hall sound system includes:
- LoA:
- Main speaker: Usually high-power full-range speaker pairs or array speaker systems to ensure coverage for large spaces.
- Auxiliary speakers: Monitor speakers for stage, subwoofer to enhance bass for performances.
- Central processing unit:
- Mixer: Digital or analog mixer with multiple input channels to connect different sound sources.
- Power Amplifier: Provides power to the active speaker system.
- Digital Signal Processor (DSP): Including Equalizer, Crossover, Compressor, Limiter…
- Sound source:
- Microphone: Wireless microphone set, wired microphone, gooseneck microphone for podium.
- Player: DVD players, computers, other music players.
3. School notification system
The public address system (PA system) is the backbone of communication and security, broadcasting announcements or emergency warnings to each area. With the partition, the system can choose to announce individually (grade 1), by group (school yard, cafeteria) or the whole school. Modern public address systems use LAN, increasing flexibility in management and expansion.
Basic equipment in the public address system includes:
- Central equipment:
- Announcement amplifier: Dedicated amplifier with built-in zone selector or connected to separate zone selector.
- Announcement microphone: Desktop gooseneck microphone with zone selection button.
- Timer: Automatically play news, background music or school bells according to preset schedules.
- Zoned speaker system:
- Ceiling speakers: Installed in corridors, offices, classrooms to ensure aesthetics and even sound coverage.
- Wall-mounted speaker box: Used in functional rooms, dining rooms.
- Compressed Speaker: Capable of projecting sound far away, resistant to harsh weather, often installed in schoolyards, parking lots, and physical training areas.
4. Sound system for outdoor use, extracurricular activities, flag salutes...
Outdoor sound systems require high power and durability to operate stably in harsh weather conditions and cover large spaces. The equipment must meet IP standards for dust and water resistance, such as IP66 speakers that are completely dustproof and resistant to strong water jets. Specialized power amplifiers ensure stable power supply for high-power speakers, operating effectively at high intensity.
Basic equipment in an outdoor sound system includes:
- LoA: Weatherproof column speakers, dedicated stage speakers with high power and speaker cones made from durable materials. Subwoofers are also often added to create powerful, powerful sound for events.
- Power amplifier: Must have sufficient power and be compatible with the total impedance of the speaker system.
- Mixing table: The mixer has enough connection ports for microphones, musical instruments and other sources.
- Microphone: Wireless microphones with long and stable reception range are the preferred choice to ensure flexibility for users.
- Equipment cabinet: Used to contain and protect central devices such as mixers, amplifiers, and signal processors from environmental impacts.
Criteria for Choosing Sound Systems for Schools
When choosing a sound system for a school, there are five important factors to consider: compatibility, sound quality, durability and reliability of the equipment, operability and expandability. See details:
- Suitable for purpose and space: It is necessary to clearly identify the usage needs (teaching, events, announcements) and survey the space characteristics (area, materials, structure) to choose the correct capacity and type of equipment, avoiding waste.
- Prioritize sound quality: The sound must be clear, faithful, and free of distortion. In particular, the system must have effective feedback suppression capabilities to ensure that learning environments and events are not interrupted by annoying screeching noises.
- Durability and reliability: Prioritize choosing equipment from reputable brands to ensure stable system operation. Outdoor equipment must have weather resistance standards (such as IP index) and safety protection circuits for durable operation.
- Simple operation: The control interface needs to be intuitive and user-friendly so that teachers and non-specialized staff can easily operate the system without complicated training.
- Future scalability: The system should be designed in a modular and highly compatible form, allowing for easy upgrading or integration of new equipment as the school's needs change.
