Contacta Infrared Systems - Discreet and Effective Assistive Listening for Public Spaces
2025-11-06In the world of professional AV installations, it’s not just about sound quality - discretion, reliability, and user comfort matter just as much. That’s why more and more integrators are turning to Contacta infrared (IR) assistive listening systems - solutions designed for demanding environments where technology must work seamlessly and unobtrusively.
Why Infrared?
Contacta IR systems are the perfect alternative to RF-based solutions in spaces where:
- Confidentiality is key - infrared signals do not pass through walls, ensuring complete control over the listening area.
- No interference - transmission occurs in the 2.3MHz and 2.8MHz bands, eliminating the risk of cross-system disruptions.
- Discreet aesthetics - compact transmitters and receivers, elegant finishes, and flexible wall or ceiling mounting options.
Flexible Installation - Scale the System to Fit Your Space
Contacta IR systems offer the ability to link multiple transmitters, allowing coverage of larger or irregularly shaped areas:
- IR-TX2 - designed for rooms up to 180m². Two IR-TX2 units can be linked to expand the listening area.
- IR-TX4 - covers spaces up to 900m² and supports multi-unit linking, making it ideal for large venues such as auditoriums, concert halls, or conference centers.
This scalability makes Contacta IR systems highly adaptable to a wide range of architectural layouts and acoustic requirements.
