What is a personal FM audio listening system?
Personal FM audio listening systems serve to pick up relevant sound. A common example would be a speaker’s voice, which is then transmitted directly to a listener to improve hearing. They usually consist of at least 1 transmitter and 1 receiver. Our transmitter, typically held or worn by a person speaking, uses a microphone to pick up sound. Next, It then transmits it to the receiver. Transmitters can also be plugged into other media, such as smartphones to transmit audio directly.
Simeon Canada provides reliable solutions for personal FM audio listening systems. Firstly, a listener wears or holds the receiver, which amplifies the sound. An example commonly used is via either T-Coil technology or through headphones/earbuds if users have hearing aids with T-coil.
Uses & Integration
At this time, Simeon Ranger and remote microphone systems are typically used by individuals with hearing difficulties or auditory processing disorders to improve hearing and increase the amount of content the listener hears. They are great in meeting and classroom environments where the space between the speaker and listener may be large.
Lastly, If a soundfield is already in place in the environment, someone can typically patch personal FM and remote microphones in so that the individual speaking only needs to use one transmitter. We usually do this by connecting the personal FM / remote microphone transmitter to the Audio Out port of a soundfield receiver. However, in the case of the Ranger remote microphone system (below) and the Audita soundfield system, patching is not required since they operate on the same frequency. Instead, Audita transmitters can transmit sound directly to a Ranger receiver.
