A wireless audio distribution system provides hearing assistance or simultaneous translation within auditoria and conference centres. Salix eliminates the cost of installing infra-red systems, which have a limited range and require a clear line of sight between the transmitter and receiver. A transmitter board can be populated for one or two stereo channels; there is also a receiver board with selector buttons for volume, power and programme selection, audio output socket and a built-in lithium polymer battery. A low latency music codec delivers stereo audio with a 15kHz bandwidth. DECT wireless technology delivers an operating range of at least 100m and is self-configuring, says Cambridge Consultants. Multiple systems co-exist for simultaneous translation.
