PLACES OF WORSHIP
Phonak Roger Sound Field Systems have two main applications in places of worship.
Firstly, Roger Sound Field can be used as a PA system in auditoriums and in education classrooms, prayer rooms, meeting rooms, and wherever there is a need to get amplified audio directly to ears through the speaker, or via a listeners hearing aids. The Touchscreen v3 Mic is worn around the speakers neck, and the audio is sent wirelessly to the Digimaster speaker and also to any connected hearing aids, bone anchored hearing aids, or cochlear implants. Phonak hearing aids with receivers installed can be directly connected to the Touchscreen Mic, whilst other brands of hearing aid use the t-coil function of the hearing aid to connect to the Roger Neckloop, which is worn by the listener. The Neckloop is wirelessly connected to the Touchscreen Mic. Receivers can be installed in any Phonak aids that do not already have receivers.
Secondly, the Touchscreen v3 Mic, the Multimedia Hub, or the Roger BaseStation can be connected to sound sources such as a TV or the main soundboard in the auditorium, and send audio wirelessly to connected hearing aids. For example, the Roger BaseStation may be connected to the auditorium soundboard, and the audio from the Ministers microphone, any other microphones, musical instruments etc is sent wirelessly to connected hearing aids. The Roger Repeater may be used to allow the system to work in any size auditorium. The Roger WallPilot may be used at the room's entry point(s) to automatically connect hearing aids as wearers walk past.
The Roger Digimaster speaker can be mounted on a Wall Mount, or can be portable by mounting on the Tripod or the Floor Stand. The speaker then just needs to be plugged into a standard wall power socket to operate. All Microphones, the Neckloop, the Repeater, and the Multimedia Hub are wireless and powered by internal rechargeable batteries. There is also a wired boom Mic which connects to the Touchscreen Mic. The Touchscreen Mic can then be worn on a belt clip.
