FM and IR Systems
Hearing better in group settings
Not just about compliance, it’s good for business!
Personal FM and IR systems reduce background noise, improve clarity and reduce listening fatigue.
Legislation in Australia requires venues to be compliant with the Building Codes of Australia and the Disability Discrimination Act. With over 30 years of experience, our team designs and supplies hearing augmentation solutions that not only meet compliance requirements but also tailor to your needs.
FM and IR Systems – What are they
Receiver Systems are like radio stations in that they require a transmitter, and every person wanting to listen requires a separate device to receive the signal. Their advantage lies in the ability to accommodate people with or without hearing aids by matching the attachment to the wearer. Users receive the devices during the event and return them afterward.
FM System
FM or Radio Frequency Hearing Assistance Systems use a transmitter connected to your venue’s sound system to send a radio frequency signal. Customers/patrons wear receivers that pick up this radio signal while attending the venue.
To enjoy the sound system’s signal, customers simply wear headphones attached to a receiver device. For customers with hearing aids, a neck-worn receiver loop can replace the headphones, working with the telecoil setting in their hearing aids.
IR System
Infrared Hearing Assistance systems use light waves to transmit a sound signal within a venue. This technology keeps the sound/signal contained within the room/space. These systems use a transmitter connected to your venue’s sound system to send an Infrared signal. Customers/patrons wear receivers that capture this signal while attending the venue.
