ListenIR 1-Channel Transmitter

Item:LT-82

The heart of the Listen Technologies ListenIR system is the LT-82 single-channel transmitter. Capable of operating in either mono or stereo modes, the LT-82 transmits your audio signal to and provides DC power for one or more LA-140 infrared radiator/emitter units through a standard CAT-5 cable. Plus, units can be combined to offer up to four (4) channels of mono or stereo audio for expanded applications.

The LT-82 transmitter is an ideal infrared transmitter for a wide range of assistive listening needs, including theaters, houses of worship, language interpretation, and more.

FAQs

+How many carriers does the LT-82 produce?

One.

+How do you interconnect multiple LT-82 units?

Units are daisy chained using a short piece of coax cable (supplied with each LT-82).

+How many radiators does the LT-82 power?

The LT-82 powers up to two (2) Listen LA-140 radiators.

+Can I use the LT-82 with other manufacturer's radiators?

Yes, but the LT-82 will not power those radiators.

+Can the LT-82 be operated on 230 VAC?

Yes, the LT-82 has a universal power supply that can be used anywhere in the world.

+Is there any performance degradation in stereo mode?

Yes, stereo operation raises the noise floor slightly.

+Can I operate some channels in mono and others in stereo?

Yes.

+How many carriers can be produced simultaneously in a room?

Four. You will need one LT-82 Stationary IR Transmitter per carrier.

+How are radiators connected to the LT-82?

The carrier (signal) is connected using coax cable; power is connected using standard CAT-5 cabling.
