Listen SQ™ (Super Quiet) - Improving Your Listening Experience People are accustomed to listening to low noise, high fidelity audio (delivered via CD, DVD, etc.). FM radio systems, such as those made by Listen, have more inherent noise compared to most sound systems. To minimize noise, Listen uses a noise reduction technology called ListenSQ™. Both the transmitter and receiver must have the SQ feature enabled to achieve the desired results.
RF Reception Maximization Strategies For proper and dependable operation, Listen receivers need to receive a strong and consistent signal from the originating transmitter. Note that on portable receivers the headset wire is the receiving antenna. The following strategies should be used maximize this signal: 1 When designing and installing your system, keep in mind that the location of both the transmitting and receiving antennas is critical to maximize broadcast range.
Channel Selection It is important to choose channels that are free from interference to achieve proper operation of your Listen equipment. This process is trial and error. Before turning on the transmitter, listen to the wide band channels on the receivers (lettered channels at 72 MHz and channels that start with a “2” for 216 MHz when using a Listen receiver). Listen to the audio through the headphone or via the speaker and choose a channel with the least amount of interference.
