The audio specialist Sennheiser now presents the new EK
2020-D bodypack receiver for the licence-free tourguide 2020-D audio
system. “The EK 2020 is a truly versatile device which is ideal for
conducting personal tours, as well as for use at conferences and for
providing audio support in locations such as in churches,” states Kai
Tossing, Installed Sound Product Manager at Sennheiser. “Users are also
afforded just as much flexibility: the robust and easy to use receiver
can be used in conjunction with a wide range of headphones via a 3.5 mm
stereo jack plug, as well as with accessories for hearing aids.”
The EK 2020 completes the tourguide 2020-D system which wirelessly
transmits the audio signal in the licence-free range between 863 and
865 MHz (USA: 926-928 MHz). The user can therefore tune in immediately
without having to complete any formalities beforehand. The redundancy
provided by the digital transmission masks interference that would
normally be heard when using analogue systems.
Conference audio or guided tour system? Both actually!
The
tourguide 2020-D receivers – the renowned HDE 2020-D stethoset and the
new EK 2020-D bodypack – can be adapted flexibly and easily to the task
in question. Conference mode provides up to eight channels for
communication. In conference rooms or churches, the receivers are used
with a rack-mount transmitter and a large capacity charger that caters
for 40 receivers. Six channels are available for visitor tours. Tour
guides can use a microphone, or a bodypack transmitter with a headset
microphone if they need their hands free. The system is supplemented by
a transport and charging case with space for 20 receivers.
Flexibility is the key
Headphones,
hearing aid cables and induction couplers – all manner of audio
accessories with a 3.5 mm jack plug can be connected to the EK 2020-D.
The Sennheiser portfolio includes a wide range of headphones, induction
neckloops or couplers and DAI cables that transmit audio directly to
hearing aids. The EK 2020 can receive signals for 16 hours on one
charge. The battery status is displayed on a backlit LC display, as are
details about the receiving channel and the signal strength. The
receiver can be programmed via the charger so that all the relevant
settings for a conference or a tour involving the desired number of
receivers can be taken care of at the same time as the charging.
The EK 2020-D bodypack receiver is available to purchase now.
