Pro AV Acquisition News: Williams AV Acquires TeachLogic

Williams AV has acquired TeachLogic, which specializes in sound reinforcement solutions for K-12 classrooms. TeachLogic’s products complement Williams AV’s assistive communication portfolio and mission to empower connections and create inclusive spaces.

For 30 years, TeachLogic has been addressing a critical barrier to learning: poor room acoustics. Serving the U.S. education market, its advanced audio systems ensure all students have equal access to the teacher’s voice and other classroom audio sources, providing clear instruction throughout the classroom. Dozens of academic studies have shown when teachers use properly installed soundfield systems like those that TeachLogic makes, academic gains include up to a 15% increase in students’ math and reading scores and a 30% improvement in comprehension for ELL students.

“A teacher’s voice volume decreases almost 30% by the time it reaches the back of the room,” said Brad Kautzer, president and CEO of Williams AV. “The TeachLogic system evenly distributes sound across the classroom, aiding in classroom management and audio intelligibility and reducing the need for repetition. This benefits all students, regardless of whether they have hearing loss,” Kautzer added.

Williams AV has been inthe assistive communication market for nearly 50 years. Initially known for its assistive listening products often used by older adults with hearing loss, the company has since expanded its offerings to solutions that address audio challenges in various environments and applications. Today, Williams AV provides assistive communication not only for assistive listening but also offers products that deliver intelligible audio for language interpretation and intercom applications, as well as for guided tours and entertainment applications.
