Designed to facilitate two-way communications for four people, the LKS-2 Base 8 System from Listen Technologies bundles together ten useful pieces of gear into one complete system suitable for organizations, small venues, and more. Included are eight LK-1 transceivers (with leader clips), one LA-452 headset, and the LA-481, a secure case for storing and charging up to 16 transceivers and headsets. With this system, you'll have everything you need to enable communications between one team leader and up to seven team members at any one time. This system is expandable, should you need to add more elements to it.
Listen Technologies LK-1 ListenTALK Transceiver with Lanyard, Ear Speaker, and Battery (North America)
The Listen Technologies LK-1 is a transceiver designed for two-way mobile communications. It utilizes Listen Technologies’ proprietary encryption technology to ensure security, and provides easy-to-use, push-to-talk implementation in the field for simple coordination and communication among two or more collaborators in any scenario.
User controls such as volume up, volume down, talk, power/status, and pairing help you in tailoring the unit to your particular, moment-to-moment needs. Though the unit can be used with a Listen Technologies headset—or standard smartphone earbuds—the LK-1 comes with an LA-401 Universal Ear Speaker, as well as a lanyard (useful for on-the-go scenarios), and an LA-365 rechargeable lithium-ion battery. The LK-1 is fully compliant with ADA standards for assistive listening.
Listen Technologies LA-452 On-Ear Headset with Boom Mic (Single-Ear)
The Listen Technologies LA-452 is an over-the-head, on-ear headset with a single-eared construction. It’s designed to be used with two-way communications devices such as the ListenTALK LK-1 Transceiver. The over-the-head construction provides both comfort and a secure fit, while its built-in boom mic facilitates hands-free communication. With a unidirectional polar pattern and noise-reduction technology, the on-board microphone offers clear amplification of your voice—and your voice alone. A 3.5mm TRRS connection point is compatible with many two-way systems. Lightweight at 2.2 oz, the LA-452's single-eared construction promotes audio clarity in its signal path without blocking outside sounds, thus allowing you to hear both your surroundings and the headphones.
Listen Technologies Docking Station Case 16
The Listen Technologies LA-481 Docking Station Case 16 provides all the charging possibilities of the LA-480, but also offers a portable, secure carrying case. The docking station itself boasts charging slots for up to 16 ListenTALK transceivers and headsets. Each slot utilizes a tension lock to facilitate a secure connection while your devices are charging. You can also pair transceivers directly from the dock in much the same way as you can with the LA-480; simply put the leader's transceiver in the red-ringed slot, put other models in any other slot, press the pair button, and a group will be instantiated automatically.
Furthermore, each empty slot can double as a placeholder for an ID card, ticket, or whatever stand-in you choose when lending out a transceiver/headset; this helps keep your array of ListenTALK technologies organized.
In addition to its 16 individuated charging slots, the case also sports two large pockets for storing earphones in a tangle-free fashion, as well as other apposite items. Durable latches secure the case, while an included shoulder strap allows you to transport it in a convenient manner.
