HEARING AIDS
The joy of watching TV at home with Sennheiser’s SET 900 At last, you can choose to watch TV as quietly or as loud as you like. The sound levels on this infrared system can be individually adjusted to the user’s needs to suit different listening situations. In addition to its excellent stereo sound quality and speech intelligibility, the Set 900 system features ergonomically optimized controls.

Turn the TV up as loud as you like without disturbing the neighbours: it’s no problem with the Set 900 system. The wireless stethoset receiver sends its amplified TV or hi-fi sound directly into your ears. Simply connect the set’s transmitter to the audio source and the signal is transmitted to the receiver using infrared technology. Both the volume and balance, between the right and left ears, can be individually
adjusted on the receiver, according to the listener’s hearing needs. Speech intelligibility is particularly important when watching television. For this reason, the Set 900 system can emphasize the treble to adapt speech frequencies to the listener’s capabilities. Because everyone’s ability to hear high frequencies continuously decreases with age, raising the intensity of these frequencies increases the clarity of speech, making it easier to understand. In addition, a switchable compression function evens out unpleasant differences in volume between quiet and loud sounds. The Set 900 system is also particularly user-friendly: when the earbows are slightly pulled apart, the sound is switched on automatically. When the receiver is removed, and the earbows close, it switches off automatically after 30 seconds. When you’re watching an exciting movie or listening to music with a standard headset, it’s easy to forget the world around you, because the headset tends to dampen external noises. To make sure you can hear the phone or doorbell ringing, two small switchable microphones are built into the Set 900 stethoset receiver. They pick up surrounding noises and amplify them, allowing the listeners to hear what’s going on around them even when while watching television or listening to music. The Sennheiser listening system is also a useful companion at the theatre or concert hall. Nowadays, more and more public buildings and cultural venues are equipped with professional audio systems that use infrared technology to transmit a performance or lec-
ture to receivers such as those of the Set 900. The receiver works on three frequencies to receive these signals—2.3 MHz, 2.8 MHz and 95 kHz—which can be selected according to the channel used in a specific venue. The Set 900 also finds the right frequency entirely automatically!
LIGHTWEIGHT AND COMFORTABLE Whether it’s for home, the theatre or a trip to Florida, this is one device you’re sure to love! The transmitter, integrated charger and stethoset receiver are available in an ultra modern black metallic finish. At only 68 grams, the stethoset receiver is a true lightweight, and its flexible ear cushions ensure that it remains comfortable even when worn for hours on end. A powerful lithium-ion battery guarantees up to 12 hours of clear, undisturbed sound.
