72 vs. 216 Mhz

72 vs 216 Mhz Comparison

We have included here a chart from Listen Technology to show the differences between 72 and 216 Mhz transmission systems.

 

72 Mhz

216 Mhz

To Meet ADA Requirements

Meets ADA guidelines for the hard of hearing at both 72 and 216MHz.  Listen is compatible with all existing major brand systems. No special license is required.

ADA Frequency Use Designation

Designated for hearing impaired and assistive listening transmissions

Designated for assistive listening, tour group, language interpretation, medical, and law enforcement transmissions.

Simultaneous Channels

Offers 6 simultaneous channels within the 72-76MHz spectrum range

Offers 3 simultaneous channels within the 216-217MHz spectrum range.*

Sound Quality

Exceptional sound quality (SNR 80db, 50Hz to 15KHZ)**

Excellent sound quality (SNR 80 dB, 50Hz to 10KHZ)**

Transmission Range

Good Range -- stationary transmitters have a 500-1,500 foot range, and mobile transmitters have a 100-150 foot

Greater Range -- stationary transmitters have a 1,000-3,000 foot range, and mobile transmitters have a 100-150 foot range.

Reduction of Interference

Expect more interference from outside sources.

Because 216MHz is an exclusive band to assistive listening, it may offer less transmission interference

 

72 Mhz

216 Mhz

For More Simultaneous Channels

72MHz offers twice the number of simultaneous channels.

 

For Better Transmission Range

 

216MHz offers almost twice the transmission range as 72MHz (from a stationary transmitter).

For Less Interference

 

As an exclusive band, 216MHz is not licensed for other uses and may offer less transmission interference

RECOMMENDED
APPLICATIONS FOR:

72 Mhz

216 Mhz

Places of Worship

Recommended: Clearer signals with twice the number of simultaneous channels for multiple language interpretation or different meetings.

Suggested for when greater range is necessary.

Language Interpretation

Benefits:  Use 6 channels* for simultaneous interpretation to multiple languages.

Benefits: Greater range with stationary transmitter.  Use 3 channels* for simultaneous interpretation.

Tour Groups

Benefits:  Use 6 channels* for simultaneous groups touring the same facility without interference and overlap.

Benefits: Because 216MHz is an exclusive band to tour groups, it may offer less transmission interference  72MHz and 216MHz transmitters have similar transmission ranges

Schools

Recommended: Compatible with most existing systems at 72MHz systems

Suggested for when greater range is necessary.  Compatible with Phonak MicrolinkTM.

Meeting Rooms, Hotels and Convention Centers

Recommended: More simultaneous channels means multiple meetings can use different FM systems at the same time without interference from each other

Suggested for when greater range is necessary, such as large rooms or for remote speakers in foyers and overflow areas, however SNR may be objectionable in low noise environments

Stadiums/Arenas

Suggested when adding to or upgrading an existing 72MHz system (compatible with all major brands).

Recommended: Greater range for larger venues, particularly stadiums and arenas

Live Theatre

Suggested for when more simultaneous transmissions are necessary (such as simultaneous interpretation).

Suggested for when greater range is necessary.
