For the first time, Espro Acoustiguide and Phonak are bringing interactivity to group tour guide systems.
They've launched the next generation version of the Guide-U wireless tour guide system, Guide-U Interactive.
Manufactured by Phonak and distributed by Espro Acoustiguide, the new device allows not only tour guides but group members to broadcast their speech, a first for wireless tour guide systems.
Powered by Phonak's MultiTalker Network technology, a visitor-friendly pass-around microphone allows group members beyond the guide to clearly broadcast their comments to the entire group without changing transmitter settings, allowing for group discussions. Up to nine additional microphones can be added. To listen in, visitors wear headphones and around-the-neck receivers.
Phonak's Dynamic Speech Extractor technology, another new feature, was designed to improve sound quality in noisy environments like visitor attractions.
The original Guide-U system launched in 2006 and is currently used at attractions including the US Capitol Visitor Center, the Roman Baths in Bath, UK, the Museum of Orsay in Paris, France and the Guinness Brewery in Dublin, Ireland.
