PE 600 Series - a multipurpose communications system

Visitors can more clearly follow courtroom proceedings, sermons, theatrical presentations and more, thanks to the popularity of the StarSound System 600. Courtrooms, recorded tours, conference centers, and live theatres commonly make System 600 receivers available for free check-out when echo, distance, or background noise could present barriers to clear speech understanding. The system is also frequently used for simultaneous interpretation and audio description.

How it works

System 600 uses an infrared emitter and multiple personal receivers to cover an area up to 370m2/4,000ft2. The house sound system plugs into the emitter. Using infrared light, the emitter then broadcasts to members of the audience who are wearing personal receivers.

The 600E emitter operates on 2.3/2.8 MHz frequencies — well above noise generated by energy-efficient ballast lighting. It features 130 infrared LEDs, comes in a choice of black or white, and is small enough to set up on a table-top or a floor stand as well as mount on a wall. Additional input jacks allow for simultaneous language interpretation or commentary over other audio. Indicator lights for both Channel A and Channel B allow the user to quickly confirm the signal. The emitters can also be linked together to expand coverage.

Three simple receiver options

Facilities can make one of two headset receivers available — the 602R or the 601R. (Note that visitors who frequently visit venues using Phonic Ear PE 600 systems may wish to purchase their own receiver rather than checking out a house receiver.) Both feature easy volume controls for each ear, last up to 20 hours on AAA alkaline batteries, work with t-coil equipped hearing aids, have a 360° angle for detecting the infrared signal, and are lightweight and comfortable.

The 602R is a two-channel headset, so users can choose from two simultaneous programs on either Channel A or Channel B.

The 601R is a single-channel stereo headset.

The 600R is our body-worn receiver available with the StarSound 600 System. It offers a choice of listening options — stetoclip, monaural earbuds, binaural earbuds, standard headset, or a teleloop. Users can choose between two different programs on either Channel A or Channel B. A squelch circuit eliminates white noise, while indicator lights tell the user when batteries are low or when the unit is charging. Two AA rechargeable batteries offer up to 35 hours of use; two AA alkaline batteries typically last up to 80 hours.
