What do you need an audio distribution system for?

Assistive Listening: An Assistive Listening System (ALS) is a wireless system that includes transmitters and receivers, to improve the audio experience for a person who is hard of hearing, sending the audio directly to headphones, hearing aids, or cochlear implants without amplifying ambient noise.

Compliance: Many governments require assistive listening (also referred to as assistive hearing systems and devices) to provide equal access to amplified sound in government and public spaces.

Interpretation Services: Interpreters use an audio system to hear the source language and simultaneously deliver interpretation to an unlimited number of participants from one unit and headset. Interpretation scenarios include simultaneous, whisper, relay, liaison, or consecutive interpretation.

Tours or Training: Many environments make facility, campus, and leisure tours difficult to hear the guide. Group communication systems in these noisy environments can be challenging and using an audio system to help engage participants can be a winning strategy.

What is the seating capacity of your space? ADA Compliance is calculated based on the seating capacity of the space. By providing the capacity of your individual space, we can calculate the number of listening devices and neck loops needed to meet compliance.

How many languages and total listeners? Each language requires an interpreter and transceiver. Please enter the number of languages to be provided and the total number of people you expect to need interpretation.
