Price is what the vendor listed when last checked. Confirm it with the vendor before buying.

Setup with instructions The kit comes pre-configured with everything for a small room, so a facilities person or staff member can set it up from the instructions. You still need to place the transmitter, connect the right audio source, and test coverage, which takes some care. That puts it at guided setup rather than plug-and-play.

What it is

Summary

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

The ListenIR iDSP is a portable infrared listening system that sends a room's audio straight to people who have trouble hearing. A transmitter-radiator takes sound from a microphone or a stereo or line-level audio source and beams it to rechargeable receivers. Listeners wear them with a neckloop or plug in ear speakers. The kit is pre-configured for rooms of up to 50 seats, such as classrooms, courtrooms, or boardrooms, and includes two receivers with the transmitter, mounting hardware, and a compliance sign. Because it uses infrared, it needs line of sight to the receivers, and you buy extra receivers if more than two people need one.

What setup looks like

  • With a guide
    1. Mount the transmitter-radiator in the room with a clear line of sight to where listeners will sit, using the included mounting hardware.
    2. Connect your audio source (microphone, RCA stereo, or line-level input) and pick one of the four frequencies.
    3. Charge the receivers, then hand them out with a neckloop or ear speakers and test the sound from the seats farthest away. Plan about 30 to 60 minutes.
