About Williams Sound FM 558-12
Experience unparalleled auditory assistance with the FM 558-12 Plus Large Area Dual FM and Wi-Fi Assistive Listening System, a cutting-edge solution designed to cater to the auditory needs of individuals in expansive environments such as auditoriums, lecture halls, and public spaces. This system seamlessly integrates the professional-grade WaveCAST Wi-Fi audio server technology with the trusted Williams Sound FM assistive listening system, offering users the flexibility to choose between traditional FM receivers or their own smartphones via the WaveCAST Listening App.
The FM T55 Transmitter lies at the heart of this system, boasting a professional digital audio (DSP) platform that ensures exceptional audio quality. Although this version is not Dante compatible, the FM Plus is engineered to support a wide array of devices, including all current and legacy Williams Sound FM receivers operating on the 72-76 MHz bandwidth. The system's user-friendly interface, accessible through both a front panel and a hosted web interface, allows for straightforward configuration. The WaveCAST app, compatible with both iOS and Android devices, provides an intuitive user experience, enabling listeners to effortlessly select channels and adjust volume levels once connected to the Wi-Fi network.
The package includes 12 PPA R38N Receivers, each featuring a high-resolution OLED screen for quick status checks and immediate access to user settings. These receivers offer on-screen channel selection from 17 pre-set, wideband frequencies (72-76 MHz) and are digitally synthesized for exceptional audio clarity and stability. The digital tuning, digital squelch, and battery-saving sleep mode enhance the user experience, while the new stereo jack, alongside the mono jack, ensures compatibility with a broad range of earphones and headphones.
Listeners will appreciate the EAR 022 Surround Earphone, an around-ear speaker earphone that hangs comfortably outside the ear, delivering excellent sound quality. These earphones are compatible with all Williams Sound receivers and Pocketalkers, having undergone rigorous testing to ensure quality, reliability, and compatibility.
For those with T-Coil-equipped hearing aids, the NKL 001 Neckloop offers an optimal solution. This neckloop magnetically couples the audio output from any Williams Sound unit or audio device with an 8-16 Ohm output through a 3.5mm jack. The integrated safety breakaway feature ensures user safety, disconnecting the neckloop in the event of entanglement.
Lastly, the IDP 008 ADA Wall Plaque signifies your commitment to accessibility. This self-adhesive, easy-to-see wall plaque informs patrons that your establishment is equipped with a hearing assistance system, making it an essential addition to venues prioritizing inclusivity.
The FM 558-12 Plus Large Area Dual FM and Wi-Fi Assistive Listening System is a testament to high-quality, advanced, innovative, durable, and user-friendly design, making it an exceptional choice for those seeking reliable auditory assistance in large venues.
