Don’t miss a single sound. Listen.
A Listen Stationary FM system can do more than you think. While a Listen system can deliver crystal clear sound to a person with a hearing impairment, it can also be used in other ways including:
Language interpretation.
• Wireless speaker/receiver in nurseries, locker rooms, o ces.
• Wireless audio distribution to remote rooms.
Remote cueing.
Classrooms
Sports Venues
Whether it’s a 1,000 person high school gym or a 100,000 person baseball stadium, a Listen system can deliver sound to every seat in the facility. Sport enthusiasts, press and the athletic competitors can all enjoy the bene ts of a Listen system.
When you can hear better, you learn more. A Listen system can deliver the instructor’s voice or the voice of an interpreter directly to the student’s ears. The end result is improved grades and instructors who are less fatigued because they don’t have to speak loudly.
Theaters
Have you ever been experiencing a live play and asked your partner “what did she just say?” We all have some level of hearing impairment and sometimes we sit in a seat where the sound is not as clear as we would like. A Listen system delivers the voice of the actor directly to your ears.
Places of Worship
The primary message in a worship service is delivered in the form of sound. A Listen system can ensure that every individual can fully experience the service. You can use Listen products for auditory assistance and for language interpretation. You can also place a speaker/receiver in the nursery or in an over ow area.

Listen Stationary FM System
If you can’t run wires, an LR-100 Listen stationary receiver (72/216MHz only) can wirelessly receive the audio signal and deliver it to the remote room sound system.
Remote Mounted Antenna Kits are the single solution for all of your indoor remote antenna needs. (LA-122 72/216 MHz) (LA-130 863 MHz)

A Listen receiver allows the o ce sta to hear what’s going on in the primary meeting room.
Sta ng the nursery or over ow area doesn’t mean missing the service. A Listen LR-600 speaker/receiver (72/216MHz only) allows the service to be heard almost anywhere.
The LT-800 transmitter connects to the audio output of a mixing console or any other audio device.
Portable receivers with earphones are worn by guests. Sound from the mixing console is broadcast to the receiver.
Interpreters listen to the service in the base language and interpret the service into a di erent language. The interpreted language is transmitted to individuals in the room who listen on a portable receiver with an earphone.
