At any concert, theater, theme park, stadium, or zoo, "hearing" is a critical part of a person's experience. Whether it is a musician's voice or instrument, an audio description of a live theater performance or a tour guide at a national theme park, a customer's experience can be defined by their ability to hear and not only by what they see. Catering to the needs of those with hearing loss also allows your organization to differentiate itself and to expand your marketing efforts to a segment that is often under-served. Finally, with the increasing visibility of government ADA restrictions, it is in the best interest of every venue to be proactive, and provide hearing assistance to all those that require and are entitled to assistance.
Systems from Williams Sound, Listen Technologies, and Sennheiser are ideal for large-area listening venues such as concert halls, stadiums, or theaters. Listeners wear body-pack style receivers with their choice of headphone or earphone. The audio of the venue is run through a transmitter or emitter, which transmits the sound by way of FM or Infrared (IR) signal throughout the audience. Participants pick up the audio with their personal receiver, and adjust the volume to a comfortable listening level. Since the receivers are wireless, listeners are free to roam anywhere in the seating area - without compromising their ability to hear the entertainment, clearly and easily. |
