Benefit From an Engaging Classroom Environment
Our products are not only designed for children with learning or hearing difficulties.
In fact, all students demonstrably perform better and engage more.
At the same time, teachers protect their vocal cords and preserve their voices.
Support Learning
Our Soundfield Systems improve speech clarity for students with CAPD and learning difficulties, even in noisy or open-plan classrooms.
Inclusive Environment
Ensures all students, including those at the back of the room or with special needs receive the same auditory experience.
Increase Performance
Studies show that improved classroom acoustics lead to better literacy, language development, and overall learning outcomes.
Protect Vocal Cords
Amplifies the teacher’s voice, preventing fatigue and vocal strain from speaking loudly all day.
Grow Confidence
Students feel more confident participating in class when they can clearly hear instructions and discussions without strain.
Overall Wellbeing
Teachers protect their voices, reducing fatigue and maintaining energy, while trauma-informed practices further support the overall wellbeing of all students.

Real stories, real success
We are proud to support learning environments across Australia
by making educational spaces more inclusive through our sound systems.
Dr Darnell Pretorius
School Principal
"We’ve recently installed the Redcat Systems in our early learning centre, which we love!
The sound projection is really helpful for our students with auditory processing issues. They love the fact that they can be on their table and hear their teacher clearly. The teacher can turn their back on their students and they will still not miss a sound."

Josh Vick
School Principal
"Show me how you better utilise 3 - 5000 AUD of discretionary student support funding for better outcomes for all."
"Without Soundfield Systems it would be incredibly harder to teach in classrooms. Purely based on my own personal experience in losing my voice without it. With it is incredible!"
Amy Farewell
Head of Campus
"My first reaction is that the Soundfield Augmentation System is an amazing tool and resource for schools to utilise for young people who have hearing loss, but also for young people who don’t really respond well to like loud voices or loud noise.
At Hornbrook we don’t do yelling so this is a very important tool for us to communicate to our students without having to raise our voice or having to interrupt other learning that is going on in our space."

Melinda Bescema
Deputy Principal
"Our core business is about increasing student outcomes, making sure that students feel safe and heard and valued at school. And I think the Soundfield is the perfect way to do that!"
Sarah Arnold
Teacher
"We come from a school that is quite diverse in cultural backgrounds. With our students we have a quite significant percentage of EAL students. Hearing those clear instructions, the articulation of what the teacher is asking the UConnect SoundHouse allows them to turn their face to the teacher and to actually see the teacher speak instead of missing the conversation, getting confused and help prevent that anxious kind of feel, which can cause issues throughout the day."
Frequently asked questions
How should I wear my Flexmike or Redmike?
Have the Flexmike sit on your sternum and not lower. This means the Flexmike ‘hears’ your voice most efficiently, and this means volume settings can be moderate because a faint collection of your voice by the Flexmike is avoided.
What is hearing augmentation?
Hearing Augmentation is the process of collecting audio and transmitting it to receivers built in to hearing aids.
Are there UConnect systems in use now?
Yes. Thousands of them.
How much do our Redcat, 975 and Topcat soundfield systems cost?
Given we have a wide family of solutions – for standard rooms up to labs and libraries and agile/collaborative learning areas – and other add-ons such as additional teacher Flexmikes, learner Sharemikes, and small group instruction pods, it’s important not to cast an impression that there is a set price.
What hearing augmentation technology is best for Australian schools?
So hearing augmentation technology must be agile to change. Traditional thought must be abandoned. Installing anything that is deemed to satisfy the Building and Construction Code means it will not work for all Learners.
Where must hearing augmentation technology be installed in schools?
The blend of regulation existing within the Building and Construction Code, Disability Law, Australian Standards and State Government and Diocesan rules mean that if there is a device in a learning space that has a speaker in it, a person who is hard of hearing must have that audio transmitted to a receiver built in their aid.
