Assisted listening has changed in venues such as Houses of Worship (HOW). In the past, patrons used a headset provided by the House of Worship. However, that meant they needed to have many on hand, they had to make sure they were charged or had batteries and patrons might not be familiar with the device. And let’s not mention the cleanliness of the device. Now there is technology where users can receive audio directly to their smartphone using a free app. They use their own smartphone and their own headphones and connect right over the venues wifi. This assisted listening.
An (ALS) Hearing Induction Loop transmits the spoken word into a user’s hearing aid. This allows the hearing impaired to receive emergency notifications and the auditory pages made every day at MSP Airport, making the space easier to navigate for people who wear hearing aids.
Audio and video can be totally transformative. Think of a huge sound system blasting music at a big event, or a light show downtown. A/V brings the space and customer experience to the next level. One of our clients is a casino that wanted to transform the experience their customers were having. We helped them achieve this by upgrading their sound system. When the sound system was first installed the owners were concerned about form over function. They hung the speakers up high to keep them out of sight. But that made the content less impactful. They weren’t giving the.

Technology just doesn’t last as long as it used to. Everything is going to computer-based technology. 20-30+ years old analog systems can cause some major problems with clients. Their systems are so old they can’t accomplish all of their goals. 30 year old systems are not compatible with current technology and can mean that parts are no longer available when an upgrade is needed. But there is a DSP based solution that is updated with new software. The new system can do so much more and allows end users to do their jobs well. The benefits can include: wireless, bring.
The IT Crowd asks: did you turn it on and off again? And we all laugh. But when it comes to really solving the problem, there is so much more than that. We have a client who had call stations in their intercom system that were not working. They needed a solution right away. The easy thing to do is power cycling. Sometimes it works and sometimes you need more. We had to find a solution to this problem that wasn’t a quick fix. We got to site right away, in this frigid and snowy winter. We removed all of.
Schools are struggling to figure out the best way to communicate emergency information when it comes to school safety. Many schools are installing strobes in their emergency notification systems. Some schools have multiple strobes and train students and staff. They run drills for the appropriate response to each strobe’s event. Amber strobes can indicate a severe weather alert situation. Blue strobes can indicate a lock down situation. These visual messages are accompanied with an audio page. The strobes are also ideal for high noise areas. The strobes can heighten the urgency of the emergency, when an audio page might not be enough. Systems can be installed with buttons for designated staff to trigger the strobes. This gives a visual indication that students, staff and visitors should go to Areas.
