As far as WAU are concerned having D2N as their Official Technology Partner has enabled them to witness firsthand how the comms specialists are able to build systems from the ground up, support them on track and help grow customer engagement via their Listen EVERYWHERE solution.
Larry Goodpaster, director of finance and operations at Beck Center for the Arts, and others from Beck Center considered various assistive listening technologies and brands to replace the Center’s existing system. They evaluated ease of installation and use of different systems and considered online reviews before selecting ListenRF from Listen Technologies.
ListenRF is an assistive listening system that uses radio frequency to transmit a venue’s audio to small, discreet, lightweight, and easy-to-use receivers that patrons wear on a lanyard around their neck or clipped to their belt. Patrons can hear audio clearly through headphones or earbuds connected to the receiver.
Listen Technologies, a provider of assistive listening, multi-language audio transmission and live-streaming audio solutions, has installed its ListenRF assistive listening system at the Beck Center for the Arts, a non-profit, performing arts and arts education organisation in Lakewood, Ohio.
Beck Center had an aging assistive listening system in its 484-seat Senney Theater that was not working correctly and no longer serving its patrons. Beck Center noted that fewer people would request the assistive listening equipment because of the system’s poor performance. Committed to providing accessibility for patrons and wanting all to enjoy clear audio while attending productions at the theater, Beck Center selected the ListenRF assistive listening system from Listen Technologies.
Carl Faux concluded, “Listen Everywhere is a game changer in the commercial world for us as it enables our team partners and members to bring their own smart phones or tablets to link into the drivers’ communication, race control and commentary. This helps our fans and partners feel a part of the team as they are provided with unique insight into our team.”
Kim Franklin emphasizes the growing demand for equitable experiences, noting how younger generations are driving the need for multilingual tours and inclusive communication. As she highlights, “The younger generations want equitable experiences… they want their grandparents to have the tour in their native language, and children to have it in English.”
In this episode of Pro AV Today, host Ben Thomas sits down with Kim Franklin from Listen Technologies to explore the remarkable evolution of assisted listening devices and their impact on accessibility and equity. Together, they delve into the diverse applications of these devices and the groundbreaking ways technology is revolutionizing audio experiences.
