There are some systems I have seen where a church will
check out personal monitoring for elderly/hard of hearing
folks. I assume there is one transmitter and several
monitors - Who makes them and what should be looked for
in them to make it work for everyone?

This will be used in a church that is 5 miles from a
regional airport and not really near anything active for
fire/police. The distance needed for transmitting is only
100 feet or less and I don't think audiophile quality is
any issue at all. Talking voice is the main focus.

We have had a Williams Research RF-based hearing assistance system in
service for about a decade, and its clients seem to be very happy with it..
Same ask me why their own hearing aids can't work as well. At least one has
bought 2 more receivers for it just because they want everybody who needs it
to be able to use it. Several have bought their own recievers.

In some countries the law requires that personal hearing aids be able to
receive from a electromagnetic loop system, and that usually becomes a
preferred path. Not true in the US.

This church is seriously suffering from sucky sound syndrome and has a
budget of a little less then nothing. The old folks refuse to sit
anywhere but in the back and the room is an pentagon wall and its 100%
brick for walls and floor with a big domed shape overhead that just
screws with sound. I think the reverb is louder then the source. The
combination is really the worst sound I've ever heard. ... I'm not
kidding about the old folks refusing to move closer. They wouldn't
consider moving 10 inches from where they have been sitting for 60-70
years and they all seem to sit at the back so they can get out if
their depends fill up.

I'm going to show them the various ideas presented by all of you - and
thanks. This is what happens in a small town where someone knows you
own a microphone. They want me to design a system for them when the
most I've done is to build a personal reenforcement/production studio.
(that was enough work and it was for ME!)


thanks for the help!
