Listen System Details
A
step up from the Soundmate is the Listen system. It works exactly
the same way, except it is higher quality. The Soundmate is somewhat
prone to electrical interference (hum) and dropouts in some locations
in some rooms. The Soundmate also has noticeable background hiss
and only operates on one fixed channel. In some installations, the
Soundmate works well and these issues are not a problem.
If you want a higher quality system, with a very good signal to noise ratio (very little background hiss), multi-channel flexibility and better signal reliability, the Listen system is for your church. It is multi-channel selectable and operates at a higher frequency which makes it much less prone to electrical interference and dropouts.
The transmitter has a range of about 1000 feet and will go through floors, ceilings and walls. This means that the listener can pick up the signal anywhere in the building. The transmitter can easily be moved to any other location and connected to another amplifier or directly to a microphone. This allows you to use the system anywhere. There are many options including various styles of earbuds, headphones and neckloops.

Simultaneous Translation SystemThe same Listen system is also perfect for simultaneous language translation. Instead of connecting the transmitter to your church's sound system, you can simply plug a microphone into the transmitter. The person doing the translating speaks into the microphone and all the people with pocket receivers will hear the translation. Sometimes we use full muff headphones such as the AKG K512 instead of earbuds. This blocks out the surrounding room sound enabling the person to concentrate better on the language they want to hear. You need a separate transmitter and set of receivers for each translation language, and also a separate system for hearing assistance. |
