The coronavirus pandemic has changed life as we know it for most of 2020. Event planning and production companies are adapting and finding new ways to do business.

Mel Speed at The Music Company and TMC Productions had a request for an outdoor drive-in movie night where people could maintain a social distance while enjoying a movie on the big screen.

The Music Company and TMC Productions offer event planning, wedding and reception coordination, and DJ services. They also sell and install commercial audio, video and DJ equipment and offer special effects lighting sales and services.

Initially, Speed planned to use a traditional FM transmitter to broadcast the movie’s audio to cars, but when someone mentioned to him that Listen Technologies has a device that transmits the sound via cell phones, he decided to try it.

Audio streamed over Wi-Fi is a more reliable solution delivering superior audio quality compared to sound delivered over an FM system.

Listen EVERYWHERE broadcasts audio over Wi-Fi to a free app (available on both Android and IOS devices). Featuring a customizable app, the device allows business owners to add welcome videos, upcoming event promos, text banners and more.

“It’s kind of a given today that most people have smart phones,” said Speed. “They’re more comfortable using their cell phone than using the radio in the car.”
