Audio description equipment hire

Audio description is a way of making the arts more accessible to blind and partially sighted people. Audio description is made available at many of the Performing Arts – Theatre, opera, dance - both professional and amateur productions.

Like a narrator tells a story, audio description is an additional, live commentary & description of the stage performance. Audience members listen to the audio description via a stethoset (headphone with integrated wireless receiver) or via pocket receivers with earpieces (or neck loops for hearing aid users). Here at Apple Sound, we have Sennheiser 2020 Digital Tourguide equipment for hire which provides the receivers for your audio description events. We have a dedicated Audio Description Kit which provides everything you need for the audio describer.

The same stationary transmitter kit can be used for simultaneous translation / language interpretation applications and/or coverage of large areas.
