Hello all

We are looking for an audio system which will enable our docent guides to speak with large groups of visitors without needing to raise their voices.

I recall seeing (at a museum somewhere) a docent with a small microphone attached to a headset, and visitors wearing small headsets with ear-pieces for listening to the guide. It seemed a very good solution to the problem of large groups and distraction from ambient noise.

Does anybody have experience with such a system? If so, I would appreciate details, i.e. off the shelf or custom-made, suppliers, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Greg
