Professional guidance helps The system comes as a kit and can be set up from instructions, but good results depend on how it is placed and connected to the room's audio. A venue that wants to meet ADA requirements will do better with an installer or ATP checking the setup, so professional help is recommended but not required.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

This is a starter assistive listening system for a venue with fewer than 50 seats. It sends a speaker's audio over a 72 MHz radio signal to listeners in the room, and it can switch between three channels. It's described as including the equipment a small venue needs to meet 2010 ADA requirements, and it lists a 62 dB signal-to-noise ratio, a measure of how clean the sound is. This is a fixed installation for a room, not a personal device, so the venue is the buyer.

Getting it

What setup looks like

  • Out of the box
    Once it is installed and connected to the room's sound source, listeners use the receivers to hear the audio over the radio signal.
  • With a guide
    1. Place the transmitter near the sound source and connect its audio input to the venue's sound system or microphone.
    2. Choose a channel and check that the receivers pick up clear sound from the farthest seats. Plan on an hour or so for a small room.
  • With professional help
    An AV installer or an ATP familiar with assistive listening can help pick where the transmitter goes, tie it into the room's audio, and confirm the setup meets ADA requirements.
