About Williams Sound FM 557
For unparalleled auditory assistance in large venues, the FM 557 Pro D Plus Large Area Dual FM & Wi-Fi Assistive Listening System is the epitome of innovation and versatility. This advanced system is equipped with the FM T55 D Transmitter, which seamlessly integrates professional WaveCAST Wi-Fi audio server technology with a Williams Sound FM assistive listening system. Users have the flexibility to choose between high-quality FM reception or the convenience of streaming audio directly to their smartphones via the WaveCAST Listening App.
The FM T55 D Transmitter is built upon a professional digital audio (DSP) platform, ensuring exceptional audio quality for all listeners. Its sophisticated design supports both iOS and Android WaveCAST Apps, in addition to compatibility with current and legacy Williams Sound FM receivers operating on the 72-76 MHz bandwidth. The transmitter's front panel interface and hosted web interface offer user-friendly configuration, while the Audinate UXT Ultimo chipset within the optional Dante interface provides a comprehensive digital audio networking solution, supporting AES67 and SMPTE 2110 for enhanced interoperability.
Included in this comprehensive package are four PPA R37N Receivers, which boast easy-to-use seek-button channel selection across 17 pre-set wideband frequencies between 72-76 MHz. These receivers are digitally synthesized for superior audio clarity and stability. The versatile 3.5mm stereo/mono jack accommodates a range of earphone and headphone options and is compatible with neckloop/telecoil-equipped hearing aids.
Listeners will appreciate the EAR 022 Surround Earphones, designed to hang on the outside of the ear, delivering excellent sound quality. These earphones are compatible with all Williams Sound receivers and Pocketalkers, ensuring a consistent and reliable listening experience.
For those using hearing aids, the NKL 001 Neckloop provides a magnetic audio coupling, compatible with T-Coil-equipped hearing aids, and features a safety breakaway device for added security.
Charging needs are met with the CHG 3502 Body-Pack Charger, a dual-bay charger specifically designed for Williams Sound products, ensuring your equipment is always ready for use.
The system also includes the ANT 005 Remote Coaxial Antenna, with a 22-foot cable and an active 80-inch antenna for optimal FM transmission range, and can be extended with an optional 50-foot extension.
Facilities can inform patrons of the available assistive listening system with the IDP 008 ADA Wall Plaque, a clear and visible indication of your establishment's commitment to accessibility.
Finally, the RPK 005 Rack Panel Kit allows for a neat and professional installation of the transmitter or modulator within a standard IEC rack space, suitable for venues such as theaters, auditoriums, and lecture halls.
The FM 557 Pro D Plus system is a high-quality, durable, and comprehensive solution for assistive listening, offering both traditional and innovative options to cater to the diverse needs of individuals with hearing impairments in large area settings.
