These new packages are ideal for large venues such as theatres and stadia that provide audio description to support blind or partially sighted audience members. Each package comprises a transmitter, two describer headsets, a mixer, receivers, earphones, charger and two storage cases.
The professional quality broadcast headsets and mixer enable the two describers to hear each other, an essential feature to ensure smooth collaboration during the event.
Each describer can add additional commentary e.g. describing the kits, body language, expressions and movements. This gives the system users more information about the things they might not be able to see, enabling them to visualise the scene and keep up with the action.
The users are each issued with a wireless bodypack receiver with a single earphone (leaving the other ear exposed so they can hear the dialogue/music/atmosphere). Alternatively, they can bring and plug-in their own earphones/headphones or if a hearing aid user, an optional inductive neck loop. They simply adjust their volume to a comfortable level. The Tourtalk system can be used very discreetly without disturbing the surrounding seats.
The receivers have been designed to be very easy to use. Each unit features a channel lock function, which stops the user accidentally changing the channel, and a lanyard so the user doesn’t have to constantly hold it during an event.
Each portable system is conveniently supplied in lightweight yet robust custom IP rated cases to provide protection during transit. The detachable receiver charger tray can either be used within the case or as a desktop charger for use at a box office.
Each package is supplied with everything required to provide an audio description service. Packages are available based on the TT 40 system and digital TT 200 system.
The new packages are –
TT 40-AD215 Audio Description System with 15 x TT 40-R receivers
TT 40-AD225 Audio Description System with 25 x TT 40-R receivers
TT 200-AD225 Audio Description System with 25 x TT 200-R receivers
Custom kits can be designed to suit each organisations needs and budget, whether you require a portable or permanently installed system.
