Assistive Listening and Wireless Communication System Configuration Tool

{{errorMsg}}

Do you need a stationary or portable system? Whether you need a portable group communication system or need to provide translation services or a combination – we can help.
  • Stationary: Installed in your facility.
  • Portable: A system that moves around for your specific needs

What do you need an audio distribution system for?
  • Assistive Listening: An Assistive Listening System (ALS) is a wireless system that includes transmitters and receivers, to improve the audio experience for a person who is hard of hearing, sending the audio directly to headphones, hearing aids, or cochlear implants without amplifying ambient noise.
  • Compliance: Many governments require assistive listening (also referred to as assistive hearing systems and devices) to provide equal access to amplified sound in government and public spaces.
  • Interpretation Services: Interpreters use an audio system to hear the source language and simultaneously deliver interpretation to an unlimited number of participants from one unit and headset. Interpretation scenarios include simultaneous, whisper, relay, liaison, or consecutive interpretation.
  • Tours or Training: Many environments make facility, campus, and leisure tours difficult to hear the guide. Group communication systems in these noisy environments can be challenging and using an audio system to help engage participants can be a winning strategy.

Where are you located? United States (Excluding CA): Based on the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) there are specific requirements for the number of assistive listening devices to be provided in the United States.

California: California has different requirements in the California Building Code (CBC) that are slightly stricter to meet both ADA and CBC compliance.

Are you looking for one-way or two-way communication? One-way: Participants listen only to the group leader(s).

Two-way: Participants can talk back to the group or group leader(s).

What is the room capacity of your space? ADA Compliance is calculated based on the room capacity of the space. By providing the capacity of your individual space, we can calculate the number of listening devices and neck loops needed to meet compliance.

How many languages and total listeners? Each language requires an interpreter and transceiver. Please enter the number of languages to be provided and the total number of people you expect to need interpretation.

How many group leaders and participants would you like to be able to accommodate? Calculate the number of leaders per group and multiply by the number of different groups. Calculate how many listen-only participants to accommodate.

How many people, including the leader(s), participate in trainings or tours? Calculate the total number of people across all simultaneous trainings or tours to accommodate.

Does your audio need to be private or secured? Some venues need secure audio to keep the audio private. Examples include court proceedings, health information settings, or board meetings. If you do not have a special security need, select “No”.
