FM / RF Assistive Listening Systems
Wireless FM audio for venues where hearing loops aren’t suitable, requiring flexible receiver distribution.
What is an FM / RF Assistive Listening System?
An FM (radio frequency) system is an assistive listening system that uses frequency modulation to transmit sound. It is a wireless transmission of a radio signal from a transmitter to a receiver, ideal for venues needing flexible seating or temporary setups.

Why Use an FM System?
Less expensive than a Hearing Loop (initially) – Hearing Loops take more labor and equipment to install a proper system initially.
Easy to install – An FM system is easily installed by connecting a transmitter to an audio output.
Considerations of an FM System?
Signal loss – FM’s suffer from loss of signal and privacy issues as the signal can travel significant distances and through walls.
Personal receiver required – There is no option to directly send a FM signal from a transmitter directly to a hearing aid or cochlear implant. A different frequency is used at each venue requiring the syncing of a receiver to a venues transmitter.
Due to the use of a personal receiver, it is obvious that a person is having trouble and many people are uncomfortable making their hearing disability public. Many people with hearing loss, due to this lack of discretion, would prefer to not use the system at all.
