IR Swift+ Soundfield Quick Guide
+
The IR Swift 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.
Try the system out with a colleague before using it in class. When setting the volume,
if you can hear your own voice clearly from the IR Swift
classroom then the volume is too loud! Make sure you experience the system by
listening to somebody else. Listening for yourself is the best way to understand why
the IR Swift+ system does not need to be set very loud to achieve an enhanced and
relaxing listening experience.

the IR Swift and the other is yourself i.e. 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 ʻtalk loudlyʼ it gives a clearer more
natural sound to your voice.
