Listen Technologies Wireless Digital Conferencing System Chosen for Board Room at Natural History Museum of Utah
Posted on Thursday, October 30, 2014
BLUFFDALE,
UT, October 30, 2014 — The Natural History Museum of Utah
has selected a Wireless Digital Conferencing System from Listen Technologies Corporation, a
leading designer, manufacturer and distributor of assistive listening products
for over 16 years, for its Swaner Forum – a multi-use space used for board
meetings, presentations and other events. The Natural History Museum of Utah,
located at the Rio Tinto Center in Salt Lake City, faced several challenges
when selecting a conference system for the space: the room is approximately 2,000
square feet in area, so a wireless system was preferred; the space is
frequently used for multiple purposes, and a system had to be easy to quickly
set up and take down; and board members often travel, and with everybody spread
out in a larger room, a centralized speaker would not provide the necessary
clarity if somebody participated via telephone. To meet these challenges, the
museum purchased a multi-unit Televic conference system from Listen
Technologies authorized dealer Avidex that could be distributed throughout the
room and support localized conversation.
The system components include one
WCAP-C1 wireless digital conference access point and power supply; one WC-CD-C
wireless digital conferencing chairman unit with microphone and battery pack;
11 WC-DD-C wireless digital conferencing delegate units, each with microphone
and battery pack; and two WC-CHT charging trays for six battery packs each.
According to Chris Eisenberg, the Museum’s
Director of Philanthropy, “The Swaner Forum is a large space with beautiful
views. We did the research, and it seemed like this Televic system from Listen
was the best solution. Sometimes our board members are out of town but need to
be part of the meeting, so we’ll patch a conference call into the system. The
person on the conference call can hear everybody talking in the room, and
everybody in the room can hear the person on the conference call. It’s a much
more elegant solution than just putting a speaker phone in the middle of the
room — and the wireless aspect allows us to easily move units where
they’re most needed.”
Additionally, Listen has provided
solutions for the Museum’s annual fundraiser, held in its soaring grand lobby,
The Canyon. Working closely with Listen and other partners, the Museum’s team combined
video mapping on the Canyon walls, a closed-captioning service performing live
transcriptions during the event, traditional powered speakers along the edge of
the space, and wireless conference units from Listen at many of the tables.
“From our use of the Listen system, it occurred to us that they can be helpful
with sound reinforcement during our annual fundraising gala. The resulting
system provided attendees with an enhanced audio experience. Everyone was very
happy with the results.”
Eisenberg added that he and his
colleagues have also appreciated the assistance they’ve received with the
system, “The support locally has been great from both the reseller that we
purchased through as well as directly from Listen Technologies. They have been
incredibly helpful to us.”
Established in 1963, the Natural
History Museum of Utah cares for over 1.2 million objects and offers innovative
exhibitions and educational programs to thousands of residents and visitors
each year, including traveling and permanent exhibits, special events and other
