Listen Up! What You Need to Know About Assisted Listening & ADA Compliance

Almo becomes first AV distributor to offer Listen Technologies’ line of core Assistive Listening Systems.

Almo Professional A/V is making its commitment to assistive listening requirements loud and clear by becoming the first U.S. AV distributor to offer Listen Technologies‘ full line of core Assistive Listening Systems, including RF and IR technologies.

These products were created specifically to provide an enhanced personal audio experience due to hearing loss or the ambient acoustic environment.

According to Sam Taylor, executive vice president and COO for Almo Professional A/V, “Assistive Listening is now a requirement under the ADA and necessary in just about every AV project; however, some of our dealers do not have a lot of experience in this area. The Listen team understands the critical importance of dealer education on this topic and working with the industry on these issues.”

He continues, “As a U.S. distributor offering Listen Technologies products, we are able to provide our partners with a new revenue model, add value to their projects, help them differentiate, and ensure they are satisfying required legislative compliance.”

Almo’s On-Demand Webinar led by Listen Technologies was presented by Cory Schaeffer of Listen Technologies on Tuesday, July 1. In this informative session, attendees learned why assistive listening systems have become mandatory for every AV project, how Pro AV resellers can easily add these solutions to their product and service offerings to increase revenue and add value to their clients, and what technologies are available, including RF & IR solutions, as well as Listen Technologies’ Loop and new iDSP systems.
