Flexible Technology for Houses of Worship

Radio Frequency

ListenRF

Radio frequency transmits audio directly to the listener's ear without amplifying ambient noise for superior intelligibility. Audio sources are wired to a transmitter and guests use receiver units to tune in to a specific audio source. Applications range from college campuses to museums, anywhere you broadcast audio to a group.

Audio Over Wi-Fi

Listen
EVERYWHERE

Connect audio sources to a server to stream the audio over your existing Wi-Fi network. Congregants use the free app on their own device or use provided devices, to access the channel of their choice. Ideal for a cost-effective way to broadcast audio including overflow and cry rooms.

Infrared

Listen IR

Infrared systems provide line of sight security for assistive listening needs. IR systems transmit audio to anyone with a receiver in the line of sight of the emitter. Line-of-sight systems are most often used in settings where security is essential.

With 350–400 congregants, Boulevard Baptist Church is part of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship. About 60% of its members are 50 and older, and 30% are younger families. When the new pastor started at Boulevard Baptist Church, older members of the congregation began complaining that they couldn’t hear.

Walnut Street Baptist Church Facilitates Community and Connection with ListenRF

Walnut Street parishioners love the new ListenRF 72 MHz system for its crystal clear audio, the small and simple receivers, and the way it’s allowing them to connect with their family and community. The use of the system for interpretation means that grandparents, parents, and children can attend church services together in their community and all hear the same message – without language being a barrier to their connection.

After the High Holy Days, we checked in with Judi to see how the Listen systems had worked – she said that there were several congregants for whom it made a huge difference, and she even got a letter from one who had been part of the congregation for decades, and said that this is the first time she’s been able to really hear the service. And it was an easy installation – we basically got the system configured and handed it over to them. Plug and play!

At the last deacons meeting, one of the older members stood up and told everyone about Listen EVERYWHERE. We didn’t have to broadcast it, didn’t have to market it. They just took over and ran with it. Word of mouth has taken over.
