Product Overview
The Portable Radio Frequency System is an assistive listening solution.
It is designed for use by people with hearing devices which are
equipped with a telecoil function, along with people who have hearing
loss who do not use hearing devices.
The system includes a wireless lapel microphone for use by a
presenter addressing an audience. It also includes a wired boundary
microphone that can be placed in a room to provide audio feedback
from an audience or just to provide ambient sound.
An audio mixer is included with multiple spare inputs. This allows for
the connection of additional microphones and other sound sources
such as public address systems.
The system comes with three radio frequency receivers. These
are used by people with hearing loss to listen to an audio source
connected to the portable radio frequency system.
Neck hearing loops are provided for users who have a telecoil function
enabled hearing device. Standard headphones can be connected to
the receiver for users who do not have the telecoil facility.
The system has no limit on the number of receivers which can be
connected. Additional receivers are available for purchase separately.
