[Athen] ALD/FM wireless system advice

[Robert Beach]

We purchased a Williams and the student absolutely hated it.  I can understand why since the audio was poor.  There was a constant buz that she nor I could get rid of.  We returned it and purchased a Telex that she really liked.

Over time have used Phonic Ear, Comtek and Williams Sound.  Have had good 
luck with all.  Obviously the cost of the Williams make them a value.  The 
only negative comments if received from students had to do with the 
quality of sound in the Williams units - "tinny". Had one student that 
went without rather than use it.    One recommendation is to buy a few of 
each.

[Athen] ALD/FM wireless system advice






Hi all,

We are looking into purchasing new Personal ALDs/FM Wireless systems to 
accommodate some incoming students and would like to gather some 
feedback. 

1) Which Personal ALD/FM wireless systems does your department/institution 

use?
2) How much maintenance do the units require? Are they durable?
3) What sources/resellers do you use/recommend?
4) Are there educational and/or volume discounts?
5) Other pros & cons & additional info?

Thanks for your input!
