Why Hire a Tour Guide System for Audio Description?
Like a narrator tells a story, audio description is an additional, live commentary & description of the stage performance. Audience members listen to the audio description via a stethoset (headphone with integrated wireless receiver) or via pocket receivers with earpieces (or neck loops for hearing aid users). Here at Apple Sound Ltd, we have Sennheiser 2020 Digital, Sennheiser 1039 UHF audio equipment and ListenTALK systems for hire which provides the wireless radio receivers for your audio description events. These devices deliver high-quality audio for excellent speech intelligibility with minimal background noise, to give a comfortable experience to your listeners. We have a dedicated Audio Description Kit which provides everything you need for the audio describer.
Our Audio Description Kits can also be used for audio description at a film screening where an audio describer provides a description of the film for the audience. This can be provided to the listeners separately to the cinema sound system or the soundtrack can be included directly through the receiver’s headphones which provides an exclusive experience that is controlled by the audio describer. Optional neck loops available instead of headphones, to include hearing aid users (read more). We have systems available for small groups within intimate venues to large open air events. We have a variety of input adaptors, cables and small audio mixers to cover most setups.
