One transmitter per language
Each language or group running at the same time gets its own transmitter on its own channel. So three languages at once means three transmitters.
A Dutch and an English group in the same museum, or one group with visitors from different countries. Each guide or interpreter speaks into their own transmitter, and each visitor sets the headphones to the channel of their language. That way the tours run side by side without disturbing each other.
How to work it out
You need two numbers: how many languages or groups run at the same time, and how many people listen in total.
Each language or group running at the same time gets its own transmitter on its own channel. So three languages at once means three transmitters.
Add up all visitors across all languages. Every pair of headphones can receive every channel, so you don’t order per language. Add a few extra as spares.
The system doesn’t translate. Each language has its own guide or interpreter with a headset microphone, or a recorded commentary that you play from a phone.
Examples
Two sets for 25 people
50 headphones, 2 transmittersOne set for 30 people and two extra transmitters
30 headphones, 3 transmittersFD-Pro or RD-Pro headphones, because they have five channels
5 transmitters, headphones for everyone listening at the same timeWith recorded commentary, count the headphones at the busiest moment of the day.
Choose by group size
Every set comes with the portable TX20 transmitter. For two groups, choose two sets. For one group with several languages, choose one set and extra transmitters.
Where it’s used
Fixed commentary in several languages, or guides walking around with different groups at the same time.
Company visits with international guests: each language its own guide.
Meetings with an interpreter: the interpreter speaks on their own channel at the same time.
Frequently asked questions
Five with the FD-Pro and RD-Pro, three with the other headphones. Each language has its own transmitter on its own channel.
No. Each language is spoken by a guide or interpreter, or played from a recording. The system makes sure each visitor hears only their own language.
Yes. You choose the channel on the headphones. Each channel has its own light colour, so the guide can see who belongs to the group.
No, as long as each guide is on their own channel. Headphones only play the channel they are set to.
Yes. You buy an extra transmitter and set it to a free channel. Ask us which transmitter fits your set.
With the TX20, up to about 100 metres. Walls, buildings and crowds between the guide and the group reduce the range. So walk the route once beforehand wearing a pair of headphones.
