It's important for meetings to run smoothly from start to finish, and we offer portable and stationary FM, infrared and digital communication technology that ensures your sessions are engaging and productive. Williams Sound technology delivers direct, clear communication of your message to participants – and provides the opportunity for two-way interaction, if desired.

Education

Do any of your students struggle to hear as a result of noisy surroundings, distractions, or distance from the sound source? Do any of your students suffer from a hearing disability? With technologies such as the Personal FM Listening System from Williams Sound, everyone in the classroom can hear, without distraction, at a volume that accommodates their needs. Studies show that students that hear better in the classroom, perform better in the classroom. So, empowering your students with the right technology can be the difference of learning and not learning.

Lightweight, portable, two-way technology

Effective communication is the lifeblood of any successful organization. Connect successfully with your team with the Digi-Wave digital communication system from Williams Sound. Digi-Wave is lightweight, portable, two-way technology designed to connect you instantly to employees, clients and team members. When time, money and peace of mind matter, make Digi-Wave your go-to for seamless, productive communication.

System components:

The DLT 300 transceiver transmits and receives. It features full-duplex capability and supports up to six simultaneous talkers. Slim, lightweight, and simple to set up and use. One- or two-way operation offers flexibility in an array of applications. With the push of a button, users can access two-way communication for immediate interaction or Q&A.

The conveniently rechargeable DLR 360 receiver is for listen-only applications. Simple to set up and use. Features automatic mode selection and shut-off. Large LCD screen displays channel, volume, battery level and RF signal strength. The DLR 360 receives up to six simultaneous talkers and can be used with earphones, headphones, neckloop or built-in speaker. Add any quantity for larger groups. The unit uses (2) AAA alkaline or NiMH batteries.

The Digi·Wave Dock acts as a communication hub. Place a DLT 300 transceiver into the dock and easily bring audio from an outside source to listeners using a Digi-Wave system. You can also use the DLT 300 / Digi-Wave Dock combo to deliver audio from a portable Digi-Wave system to listeners in a permanent sound installation. (A DLR 360 receiver placed in a Digi-Wave Dock can similarly deliver audio to a separate sound system.) The Digi-Wave Dock offers the flexibility of separate RCA and XLR inputs and outputs in each of its two bays. An added plus: The dock charges DLT 300 transceivers and DLR 360 receivers and can be utilized to extend coverage.

SOUNDPLUS® 2 - channel infrared transmitter

The powerful WIR TX90 transmitter combines modulator and emitter technology into a single operating unit, which reduces operating costs, eliminates the need for rack space and eases set-up.  The WIR TX90 features application pre-set controls for music, voice or hearing assistance applications – no guesswork required for audio configuration.  Everything you need for installation is in the box.

Inducation loop

In simple terms, an induction loop system consists of copper wire placed in the appropriate pattern in a listening area, and a loop amplifier connected to an audio source. Audio signals are amplified and circulated through the loop wire. The resulting magnetic energy field is detected and amplified by the “telecoil” common to many hearing aids, cochlear implants and induction loop receivers. The end result is a high-quality amplified reproduction of the original audio signal. Intelligibility is greatly increased because the distance between the speaker and the listener(s) is bridged, and background environmental noise is reduced.

Digi-Loop dual channel loop amplifier

The Digi-Loop is definitely state-of-the-art – the first of its kind to maximize modern amplifier technology. Its network-control capability provides seamless, remote system set-up, operation and monitoring via laptop or tablet. DSP audio processing offers flexible, powerful software control of mixing, equalization, compression and more.  Powerful Class D, pulse-width amplifiers maximize efficiency.

The Digi-Loop’s amplifier design offers dual 12 A rms loop outputs for perimeter loop(s), single array(s), dual loop, or phased-array configuration. A 70-100 V input provides connection to a distributed speaker/paging system, ensuring announcements are heard by loop users.
