ListenRF
Create meaningful connections with the communities you serve when your audio is accessible to everyone using a radio frequency assistive listening system.
ListenRF transmits sound over radio frequency directly to the listener’s ear without amplifying ambient noise for crystal clear audio and unsurpassed intelligibility.
For an estimated 466 million people worldwide with hearing loss, traditional sound systems are not enough. That is why ListenRF is a great choice for assistive listening, because everyone deserves an exceptional listening experience.
The ListenRF Difference
Unique Frequency Ranges
Listen Technologies is the only manufacturer that offers radio frequency assistive listening systems in both the 72 and 216 MHz frequency ranges.
Systems that operate in the 216 MHz expands coverage for large theaters, arenas, and stadiums and allows the user to move around in large venues without losing the signal. This also simplifies the distribution of receivers as they all work in the same frequency and don’t need to be coordinated or based on where an individual is seated.
Why ListenRF
ListenRF offers:
- Digital audio for superior sound
- Simplicity – easy setup and use
- Designed for speech intelligibility
- Small, lightweight devices
- Standard 3.5mm jack for use with any headset
- Works for large venues and spaces
Listen Technologies has been trusted for more than 20 years by the world’s most recognizable brands.

Learn MoreListenRF System Overview
Transmitters
ListenRF transmitters offer outstanding audio clarity, digital signal strength meter, and shows status information for channel selection and programming. Connected to your main audio system, transmitters broadcast the audio over 72 MHz or 216 MHz.
The LCD display on transmitters shows status information for channel selection and programming.
Balanced and unbalanced audio inputs allow use with any audio source.
The built-in audio processor optimizes audio (voice or music) prior to transmission.
The SQ (super quiet) mode on ListenRF transmitters removes audio hiss for exceptional sound.
Antennas
Antennas are a vital part of a radio frequency system. Listen offers a complete line of transmitter antennas based on space, coverage area required, and indoor or outdoor use.

Outdoor spaces are commonly large venues that can hold a large number of people. The transmitter is not designed for outdoor use, so it will be installed indoors, such as in a rack room. The weather grade remote antenna is then mounted outdoors within the coverage area.
Receivers
ListenRF receivers use intelligent Digital Signal Processing (iDSP) making them the best in the industry. All receivers offer outstanding audio clarity with the best ranges and reception.
Intelligent Digital Signal Processing (iDSP) means the receiver provides digital quality audio for superior sound quality vs. lower quality analog audio. Plus, you can set up and manage receivers using the free iDSP software.
Listen offers the smallest devices in the market which makes them lightweight and easy to wear. The small size also makes their use more discreet for users that are conscientious about using assistive listening devices.
Each receiver is equipped with a micro-USB connection which can be used with free iDSP software for charging, set up, programming, inventory management, and firmware updates.
Extended use can be challenging for other devices, but Listen receivers incorporate advanced Lithium-ion rechargeable batteries that offer long life and reliable power. Receivers can be charged with the micro-USB connector or in the docking station.
Integrated Neck Loop
The neck loop is a reliable and effective way for listeners with telecoil-equipped hearing aids and cochlear implants to utilize your assistive listening system.
Each neck loop slips comfortably over the wearer’s neck and transmits the audio signal wirelessly to their t-coil device or cochlear implant, leaving the user’s hands free for added convenience.
Incorporating an advanced digital signal processing (DSP) loop driver for an outstanding listening experience, the integrated neck loop provides industry-leading assistive listening.
Accessories
Accessories complement every application by adding functionality and features to customize your system based on the needs of your environment.
Use Dante adapters to control your assistive listening system through the Dante interface.
Lanyards allow users to attach a ListenRF device and wear it comfortably around their neck – making the devices hands-free.
Install your ListenRF transmitter in an audio rack with our universal mounting kits.
Signage helps you achieve compliance with assistive listening regulations while also ensuring that visitors know about your system’s availability. Listen offers clearly printed plaques and window stickers, each of which can be easily mounted in a convenient and highly visible location.
