Listen Technologies ListenTALK tour guide system

ListenTALK assists in engaging your audience allowing them to fully participate and ask questions or make comments, whilst ensuring your event runs smoothly with crystal-clear, reliable and secure real-time communication.


Listen Technologies ListenTALK two-way tour guide system

Whether taking tourists around a museum or visitors around a noisy factory, the tour guide needs to be heard without having to raise their voice or repeat themselves. Tours often present acoustic challenges where the tour guide needs to compete with ambient noise or interference to get their message across. The ListenTALK full-duplex two-way tour guide system from Listen Technologies offers the flexibility you need to ensure everybody can both hear, and be heard.

For two-way communication each person is issued with a lightweight ListenTALK LK-1 transceiver and headset.

ListenTalk LK-1 Transceiver
 
The ListenTALK transceiver is a mobile device that both transmits and receives audio, making it the ideal solution for all two-way communication needs. Tour leaders can clearly speak to group participants and allow them to respond with the simple press of a button.

If some group participants are only required to listen, then lightweight ListenTALK LKR-11 or LKR-12 receivers with head/earphones can be used.

ListenTalk LKR-11 and LKR-12 Receivers

The ListenTALK LKR-11 is a mobile device that receives audio, making it the ideal listen-only solution for participants that do not need to speak to the tour group. The ListenTALK LKR-12 is a simplified version of the LKR-11.

Any transceiver can be setup as a leader and there must be at least one leader per group. Any combination of transceivers/receivers can be used per group.



ListenTALK is flexible: A leader can be identified by a red leader clip. Leaders can easily designate one of three participant modes to meet the needs of any venue or setting. They can choose for the tour participants to Listen only (they cannot interrupt the leader), Respond (they can respond back to the leader only) or Discuss (they can speak to the leader and the group).

ListenTALK tour guide system modes



When a unit has been setup as a leader the large silver talk button can be toggled between talk and mute. The silver talk button on participant units is programmed to PTT (Push-to-talk) and first-come-first-served with a maximum of two microphones live at any time.
