Description
This Assistive Listening System with ADA Plaque is a perfect solution to meet the needs of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards for accessible design, useful to make venues of any capacity compliant (when purchased with neckloops). The system can also be used to improve comprehension by people who have difficulty hearing or understanding speech in various settings including meeting rooms, houses of worship, movie theatres, schools, public hearing rooms, and more.
The audio is sent wirelessly straight to their ears, avoiding the degrading effects of noise and distance on speech intelligibility. This system can be expanded with as many R-100 receivers and neckloops as required. Neckloops are not included in this package and they can be purchased separated. The NKL-102 are the recommended compatible neckloops for this package.

FAQs

What is the Enersound ALC Assistive Listening System?
The ALC is a wireless FM system that sends a speaker’s audio directly to individual listeners, helping reduce the effects of background noise, distance and poor room acoustics on speech comprehension. It is suitable for meeting rooms, schools, houses of worship, theaters, public hearing rooms and other venues.
What is included with the system?
The package includes one T-500-4 base transmitter with antenna, the selected number of R-100 digital receivers, compatible EAR-120 dual earphones and an ADA assistive-listening plaque for display at the venue. The product is available in configurations for 4, 10 or 20 listeners.
How does the system improve speech understanding?
Audio from a microphone, mixer or compatible sound source is connected to the transmitter and broadcast wirelessly to the receivers. Each listener hears the audio through personal earphones, minimizing the loss of clarity normally caused by noise and distance.
Does this package make a venue ADA compliant?
Not by itself. To support ADA accessibility for guests who use hearing aids with telecoils, NKL-402 neckloops must be purchased separately and used with compatible receivers. The number of receivers and neckloops required depends on the venue’s capacity and applicable accessibility requirements.
Can the system be used with hearing aids?
Yes. A compatible telecoil neckloop can transmit the receiver’s audio directly to a hearing aid equipped with a T-coil. Neckloops are not included with the standard package and must be purchased separately.
How many listeners can use the system?
The transmitter can broadcast to an unlimited number of compatible R-100 receivers. The system can therefore be expanded by adding receivers, earphones and neckloops as the venue’s accessibility needs grow.
What is the system’s operating range?
The standard system provides coverage of up to approximately 500 feet under suitable conditions. Its range can be expanded to as much as 1,000 feet with an optional external antenna. Walls, obstructions and local radio interference may reduce the effective range.
How many channels are available?
The T-500-4 transmitter offers four selectable channels at 72.1, 72.5, 72.9 and 75.7 MHz. Each R-100 receiver can be programmed to one of 20 available frequencies and includes a channel-lock feature to help prevent accidental changes.
How long do the receiver batteries last?
Each R-100 receiver operates on two AAA batteries. Battery life is up to 55 hours with alkaline batteries or up to 40 hours with rechargeable NiMH batteries. Actual operating time may vary depending on battery condition, listening volume and usage.
Is the system easy to install, and what warranty is included?
Yes. The T-500-4 is designed for straightforward setup and can be used on a tabletop or installed in a rack with optional mounting hardware. It includes multiple audio inputs for connection to microphones, mixers and other audio sources. The transmitter and receivers are covered by a limited three-year warranty, subject to the manufacturer’s terms.

I recently purchased the 10-Person assistive listening system for some hard of hearing attendees at our conference, and I have to say I'm blown away by the quality of this product. The system was incredibly easy to set up and use. The sound quality was superb and crystal clear allowing attendees with some sort of hearing impairment to hear and understand what was being said. The 3-year warranty also gave me peace of mind that I have made a solid investment. Overall, I would highly recommend this product to anyone in need of a high-quality assistive listening system for their venue.
