Intelligibility for education.

Loudspeakers for learning success

Speech intelligibility in lecture halls and classrooms is proven to be a key factor for learning success. During a lecture at a university, students need to grasp complex concepts and ideas in a short period of time, so any misunderstanding can lead to gaps in knowledge. Poor speech intelligibility can also lead to increased strain and unnecessary stress, as students have to expend more energy to process the information. The installed loudspeaker system is therefore a decisive factor in the quality of any learning event. Fohhn offers professional and sustainable audio systems made in Germany, specially designed for optimal speech intelligibility and has a lot of experience, especially in education.

Directly into the ear

Audio technology for education

When selecting the right sound reinforcement system for lecture halls, auditoriums and seminar rooms, sound quality, directivity and performance are crucial. Fohhn manufactures professional loudspeaker systems and system amplifiers that deliver the necessary sound pressure and are optimized in terms of directivity and sound quality for use in lecture- or seminar room of any size. Despite their power, Fohhn loudspeakers are slim and unobtrusive, making them easy to integrate even in historic architecture. And with Fohhn Beam Steering Technology it is possible to control the sound electronically without having to tilt the system mechanically. Unwanted reflections are systematically avoided, significantly improving speech intelligibility and thus directly promoting the learning success of every student.

More about this technology

Use Case 1

Medium lecture hall

In auditoriums and training rooms, Focus Slim systems can be easily installed straight next to the screen or blackboard. The beam is precisely adjusted to the listener area without the need to mechanically tilt or curve the system. The result is clear speech and effortless learning, even in the back row. That's the most compact solution we offer.

Benefits
  • Visual integration into the architecture
  • Perfect beam opening angle adjustable
  • Minimization of disturbing reflections
  • Easy integration into building automation
  • Digital interface for control & audio (Dante)
Components

Use case 2

Auditorium

Speech intelligibility in lecture halls and classrooms has been proven to be a key factor in learning success. Linea Focus are the industry standard for the professional equipment of universities. They provide precise sound for every seat from the first to the last row - even in larger lecture halls.

Benefits
  • Avoidance of acoustic feedback
  • Precise directivity for all listeners
  • Crystal clear speech
  • No reflections from the ceiling
  • Powerful 4 inch chassis

Use Case 3

Community hall

If Beam Steering is not necessary, our LXP line source speakers can be used to provide high-quality sound in a training room. Thanks to their acoustic pre-tilt, these systems can also be installed straight against the wall and cover the listening area accurately.

Benefits
  • Directed sound dispersion
  • Minimization of interfering reflections
  • No mechanical tilt necessary
  • Economical solution

Pleasant listening in classrooms

In every class- or lecture room today, situations arise in which a video has to be played, a speaker has to be amplified with a microphone or a conversation partner has to be added via a video conference. Poor speech intelligibility is perceived as very unpleasant. Students or pupils then find it difficult to follow the lesson, become tired quickly and thus their performance is impaired. Loudspeakers used should therefore be able to produce a pleasant and clear sound image with sufficient volume. Consumer products or integrated loudspeakers in projectors or screens are not able to do this. A professional but simple solution is required.

Reliable, sustainable, high-quality

Why Fohhn?

Fohhn develops and produces professional loudspeaker systems for optimal speech intelligibility sustainably and exclusively in Germany. But we are more than just a manufacturer of pro-audio systems. We see ourselves as a true partner for every educational project, supporting you from planning and simulation to on-site calibration. Whether it's a single classroom, seminar rooms or the overall design of a university campus - we offer you a tailor-made solution that can be optimally integrated both acoustically and visually and that, thanks to maximum reliability, will not let you down even after years. In educational institutions in particular, it is crucial to ensure optimum acoustic conditions. With Fohhn, you can rely on a manufacturer with decades in experience in this field. Send us a message or give us a call and let's talk about your project.

Who we are

Educational institutions around the world

For decades, schools, universities all over the world have been equipped with Fohhn systems: for example, the University of Heidelberg - the oldest university in Germany, the Free University of Amsterdam or Guangzhou University. And not only educational institutions, but also the German Federal Council is sounded with a system of the Fohhn brand. Wherever it is important that every word is clearly understood, you will find our loudspeaker systems. Feel free to get an overview for yourself.
