Listen ADA Systems Overview
Listen offers three FM (RF) ADA systems and one Infrared ADA system. Compliant with today's Department of Justice Title III of the ADA for assistive listening systems, each of the Listen ADA systems provide all the necessary components to meet the new standards for the minimum number of receivers/ALDs required based on the capacity of seating of assembly areas. And, they also meet the standards for the number of receivers/ALDs that are required to be hearing aid compatible. See table below.
All systems can be installed for use in assembly areas where audible communication is integral to the use of the space. Ideal for classrooms, public meeting rooms, public hearing rooms, legislative chambers, motion picture houses, auditoria, theaters, playhouse, dinner theaters, concert halls, centers for performing arts, amphitheaters, arenas, stadiums, grandstands, or convention centers, and more.
The Infrared system delivers a secure, interference-free audio signal.
Systems are available for a free 30-day no obligation demonstration. All four systems are available for shipment immediately. Systems are backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty.
