About Williams Sound FM 557
Because clarity and inclusivity are paramount in large venues, the FM 557 Pro D Plus Large Area Dual FM & Wi-Fi Assistive Listening System from Williams Sound stands out as a comprehensive solution for assistive listening needs. This advanced system integrates the high-quality WaveCAST Wi-Fi audio server technology with a professional FM assistive listening system, offering unparalleled flexibility and exceptional audio quality.
The core of this system is the FM T55 D Transmitter, which is built on a robust digital audio (DSP) platform, ensuring crystal-clear sound transmission. It supports both FM and Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing end users to choose between using the included PPA R37N Receivers or their own smartphones with the WaveCAST Listening App for a discreet listening experience. This innovative approach means that venues no longer have to compromise when it comes to providing assistive listening options.
The FM Plus transmitter is not only versatile but also future-proof, with an optional Dante interface for full audio networking, making it a smart choice for integrators looking for a scalable solution. Although this particular model is not Dante compatible, those interested in this feature can consider the FM T55 D for their needs.
Listeners using the PPA R37N Receivers will appreciate the simple, seek-button channel selection, accessing 17 pre-set wideband frequencies between 72-76 MHz. These receivers are digitally synthesized for enhanced audio clarity and stability and feature a versatile 3.5mm stereo/mono jack that is compatible with a range of earphones and headphones, as well as being neckloop/telecoil-equipped-hearing-aid compatible.
The EAR 022 Surround Earphones, included in this package, are designed to hang on the outside of the ear, providing excellent sound quality without intruding into the ear canal. These earphones are rigorously tested to ensure they meet the high standards of quality, reliability, and compatibility with Williams Sound systems.
For those with T-Coil-equipped hearing aids, the NKL 001 Neckloop offers a seamless audio experience by magnetically coupling the audio output from the system into the hearing aid. It includes a safety breakaway feature for added security in dynamic environments.
Keeping the system powered and organized is effortless with the CHG 3512 12-Bay Charger, which can charge up to 12 receivers or transmitters, reducing the need for frequent battery replacements. The ANT 005 Remote Coaxial Antenna ensures reliable signal transmission over large areas and is compatible with an optional 50' antenna extension for even greater coverage.
Additionally, the IDP 008 ADA Wall Plaque informs patrons of the availability of assistive listening devices, ensuring compliance and awareness, while the RPK 005 Rack Panel Kit allows for a neat and professional installation of the transmitter in any standard equipment rack.
This comprehensive system is not only durable and reliable but also designed with the user in mind, offering a high-quality listening experience for individuals with hearing impairments in various large-area settings such as conference rooms, classrooms, and auditoriums. The FM 557 Pro D Plus system by Williams Sound is an innovative and inclusive solution for those seeking to enhance audio accessibility in public spaces.
