A best in class system
Intelligent DSP algorithms improve the microphone signal with great agility even before the digital signal is wirelessly transmitted. The new, automatic microphone sensitivity combined with noise-cancelling technology is far above average.
In addition, Intelligent DSP setting functions include balancing loud voices, varying distances from the microphone, distinguishing between female/male voices, and eliminate background noises. Not forgetting that state-of-the-art interfaces such as Dante, USB-C and Bluetooth® are of course included.
Accessibility
Complete your Unite system very simply with IL 200 induction neck loops and make your tours accessibly for those hard of hearing. The neck loop can be used instead of the headphones and will inductively transmit the sound directly to hearing aids or cochlear implants. In this way you will achieve accessibility for the hard of hearing in accordance with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities for equal participation in society and underscore your social commitment.
