With in-depth backgrounds in electrical engineering and the broadcast and audio/visual industries, Russell Gentner, Keldon Paxman, Cory Schaeffer and Kelli Lundgren founded Listen Technologies Corporation 1998. Having successfully founded and taken public Gentner Communications (now ClearOne), Russ would lead this new team as president, focusing this new company on the wireless audio market.
At the company’s birth in 1998, Listen offered two transmitters (the LT-800 Stationary Transmitter and LT-700 Portable Transmitter) and two personal receivers (the LR-500 Programmable Display Receiver and LR-400 Display Receiver). These early trend setters included a built in LCD display, 57 tunable channels, incorporated charging circuitry (SmartChargeTM), and the best audio quality in the industry. All four products have seen various improvements over the years as Listen responded to customer feedback.
In February of 2001, Listen introduced the LR-600 Wireless Speaker / Receiver and LR-300 Digital Receiver, offering even more flexibility and options to its customers. In 2002, Listen announced plans to revolutionize the wireless audio industry with the introduction of SQTM technology. This combination of audio improvements makes Listen systems signal-to-noise ratio 80dB! (significantly greater than the industry standard. This means increased audio performance, so Listen wireless audio can be used for the most demanding of applications. Listen also introduced the LR-100 Stationary Receiver / Power Amplifier, a stationary auditory assistance receiver with a built-in power amplifier.
Listen has continued to introduce new products including infrared technologies (in 2004) that add security to transmitted audio communication. With strategic partnerships and a vast dealer network, Listen became the exclusive distributor for Bosch communication products in early 2005. It actively participates with the leading industry associations, such as NSCA and ICIA.
Listen relies on its customers for direction in developing new technologies, products and accessories to meet market needs. Listen's strength lies in its people -- not only the staff, but also the manufacturing representatives, international distributors, authorized dealers, and especially the end users.
