Anchor Audio Announces the Addition of Packaged Assisted Listening Devices

November 07, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
TORRANCE, CALIF. — Anchor Audio, Inc. — the industry leader for over 30 years in portable sound systems — announces the addition of ADA compliant assisted listening devices. The multi-purpose systems are designed to help hard of hearing people better understand speech, music and other sounds during a movie, performance, lecture, meeting or worship service. The wireless link broadcasts to listeners directly from the sound source, helping to overcome background noise or distance.

Until now, UHF wireless has been available only at high-end prices for entertainment industry users. However, Anchor Audio is offering the 16 channel UHF wireless because of the simplicity of channel selection by a simple flip of a dial on the microphone and receiver. This eliminates chance of interference from local broadcasting sources.

To make it easy for the consumer, the leader in portable sound systems has designed product packages to include all the necessary “parts” so the systems can be used on arrival. The basic assisted listening devices package includes one rack mountable transmitter and four belt pack receivers with ear bud headphones nicely delivered in a transportable carrying box. An unlimited number of receivers can be used at one time. If you have two presentations at the same time in the same building, it is simple to set the first group to one channel and the second group to another channel. The only requirement is that all members of each group are on the same channel.

Tour groups will also find packages of assisted listening devices to meet their needs. The TOUR-60 package includes one belt pack transmitter with headband microphone, six belt pack receivers with “AA” batteries, and ear bud headphones. This is a perfect solution for one-way communication that helps cut background noise. The tour guide or interpreter wears the compact belt pack transmitter, and there can be an unlimited number of listeners. When there are several groups in one location, each group can use a different channel and avoid interference.

Packages for assisted listening devices include all the necessary parts; and, tools are included to rack-mount your transmitter for easy access to your music source. Users that want to transmit from a wireless microphone, can consider the UHF-6400 from Anchor Audio.

Range varies on the environment. The base station transmitter range is up to 500’ depending on the wall density and other wireless products in the area. With the belt pack transmitter range is up to 200’ line of sight.

Anchor Audio is the leader in portable sound systems and uses a total quality control concept. The assisted listening devices products are backed by a two-year warranty and are ADA compliant.
