A tour guide system supports communication between one or multiple speakers and an audience within a specific reach. One of the key components of a Tour Guide System is the Headsets or Receivers used by the participants. First of all, headsets have to be comfortable for the participants, with different users having different needs. Furthermore, different solutions provide different levels of battery lifetime, volume, number of channels or and connectivity reach. With years of experience around the world, we balance Quality and Cost to offer you the best solution for your event. Our solutions also comply with all industry, security, and health standards.
We carry different Tour Guide System headset models in different countries. The receiver itself can be combined with different headsets. Every model has advantages and disadvantages as well as technical configuration. Some example models are listed below.
The single Tour Guide System ear hook is a common option for conferences or environments that should facilitate discussions and communication outside of the device. They are more discreet and often used for high-level political events. They are sometimes a good option for individuals with culturally specific headwear.
The Tour Guide System headband is a very commonly used option due to its comfort and audio quality. Compared to 2-sided earbuds, they allow for background noise and are less isolating. The size is adjustable, and the smitten can be changed/cleaned separately.
Headbands can be for 1-time usage (disposable) or reusable. From a sustainability perspective, we truly recommend reusable headsets. Reusable headsets also allow for slightly better models while keeping the cost efficient.
The Tour Guide System neckband avoids contact with the hair or headcover, which is advantageous for individuals with special hairstyles or headwear. Its two-sided, smitten design allows for clearer audio transmission.
Neckbands are not very often used anymore, and stock is limited. For customized neckbands (e.g., brand name/logo on the cover), please provide us with your specifications early for printing. Contact us for more information.
Earbuds are a very low-cost option and exist as single or multiple-use devices. They can be more easily branded to a specific event and disposable options are commonly used during events. Earbuds can provide better background noise isolation but may also become uncomfortable after some time.
Due to the low cost of earbuds, very often disposable options are chosen. From a sustainability point of view, we would like to request to avoid disposable options and choose lower-cost reusable options.

Tour Guide System Transmitters
Apart from microphones and headsets, the basic Tour Guide Infrastructure requires the right transmitters. Transmitters determine the range in which headsets can receive the audio stream. Furthermore, the transmitters are capable of broadcasting several parallel channels, for example, in an environment in which interpreters translate the presentation into different languages.

Tour Guide System Microphones
Tour Guide Systems come with various microphones to ensure the presenter is understood in the right environment. The right microphones are determined not only by the transmission technology but also by the presentation environment (e.g., noisy factory or windy weather). Furthermore, microphones may have to be waterproof and provide an independent power supply for a specific number of hours.
