2.2 How Roger Table Mic works
Roger Table Mic transmits the meeting participants‘
voices directly into your ears. The system consists of three
main elements: the hearing aids, Roger receivers and one
or more Roger Table Mic(s).
Roger Table Mic and the hearing aids typically work
within a range of up to 30 meters / 100 feet. Note that
human bodies and walls may reduce this distance. The
furthest range is possible when you can see Roger Table
Mic (i.e. line of sight).
