PPA 275 Wide-Band FM Hearing Assistance System 


Description: 

The PPA 275 is an FM listening system used for large area hearing assistance. 
It helps overcome background noise, reverberation, and distance from the 
sound source. The T4 transmitter plugs directly into the sound system, and 
broadcasts the message via FM radio signal. Listeners use the R30 to pick-up 
the broadcast and listen to the speakers message. 


Applications: 
Houses, of worship, auditoriums, theaters, classrooms, conference rooms, 
museums, parks.
