Hearing Enhancement System
Components:
EXP-S1 Audex Point Source Receiver and REC-T2 Infared Receiver.
Description:
The Audex hearing enhancement system serves as a major audio
destination in addition to the speakers. Audio from all
sources, independently controlled at the mixer with Aux #1
knobs, can be routed to the two infrared receivers carried
by planetarium visitors, who can listen through their own headphones
with independent volume-control.
Procedure:
- The two Audex infrared receivers are kept on the wall of the
equipment room (with velcro stickers). They should be provided to
visitors upon request on a first-come, first-serve basis.
- Before passing out a receiver, check to ensure that the
batteries have enough juice.
- Instruct the visitor not to obstruct the white protrusion on
the receiver, which must be exposed to catch the audio infrared
signal.
- Record the name of the user (in case they walk out in the
middle of the show or forget to return the receiver, and also in
order to log the frequency of requests for this hearing
enhancement service).
