seating over 50 and containing a public address system. These systems were chosen in the early 2000’s as the easiest to install and use (at the time). We have not looked at any competing product to these headsets in at least 8 years. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

ones that work complimentary to the portable units that your office hands out?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

in replacing the older Sennheiser headsets. If you're aware of some kind of modulator/emitter than makes more sense, please let us know as well. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
