FAQs

+How much coverage is provided with the LA-140?

Approximately 10,000 ft² (929 m²).

+Does the number of audio sources (carriers) affect the coverage?

Yes, for two (2) sources (carriers), the total coverage is half of 10,000 ft² (929 m²). For four (4) sources (carriers), the coverage per carrier is one-fourth.

+How many radiators can you use on a system?

Up to 100.

+How many radiators will I need?

Refer to the technical resource section of the Listen website for assistance in making this calculation.

+Does the LA-140 come with a power supply?

No, you must use either the power supply included with the LT-82 transmitter or purchase the optional LA-205 power supply.

+How do I connect multiple radiators?

You can daisy-chain the radiators together using coax cables. Power for up to two radiators can be daisy-chained using a short length of CAT-5 cabling or you can power two radiators off one transmitter.

+Can I disable the LEDs on the radiator?

Yes, the LEDs can be turned off at a switch on the back of the radiator.

+How many emitting diodes does the LA-140 have?

The LA-140 radiator has 84 diodes. It has 7 columns of diodes with 12 diodes each. If one diode goes out, you will lose only the diodes on that column.

+What is the warranty of the LA-140?

The LA-140 has a 3-year warranty.

+How is power delivered to the radiator?

Power is delivered with CAT-5 cables (connected between the radiator and either the LT-82 transmitter or the LA-205 power supply).

+How many radiators can be powered from the LT-82 or LA-205 power supply?

Two.

+What is the purpose of the delay compensation switch?

This switch allows you to set up delay timing in a multi-radiator system so that each radiator receives the carrier at exactly the same time. This prevents signal dropouts that can be caused by out-of-phase signals (multi-path). With Listen’s delay compensation switch, it is not necessary to cut all of your coaxial cables to the same length - your shorter runs can use shorter cables, keeping your installation clean (and cost-effective).
