Studies show that standardized test scores increase from 10-15% across all subjects in classrooms using sound amplification. Creating a consistent, quality audio experience throughout the classroom makes learning easier, with proven results in raising test scores, improving on-task behavior, and reducing educator vocal strain. Voice reinforcement solutions are an essential aid for student success and can also integrate with traditional bell/intercom systems, provide safety and emergency communication, and facilitate lecture capture.
