[Athen] ALD/FM wireless system advice

[Ron Stewart]

Telex or Phonic Ear.  We wired the entire OSU campus with Phonic Ear and it
was stellar with 120
+ multichannel transmitters deployed, 60 multichannel receivers and 24
paired single channel unit.  I have been involved in a couple dozen other
installs most of the time using Telex due to the nature of the installs.

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!
