Listen Tech 2 Channel Wi-Fi System with 2 receivers (Dante) - LWS-02-A1-D

Product Overview

The Listen Technologies LWS-02-A1-D is a 2-channel Wi-Fi assistive listening system that streams audio over your existing wireless network to as many as 500 users, on dedicated ListenWIFI receivers or on guests' own smartphones through the ListenWIFI app. Built around the LW-170-02 Dante audio server, it gives a venue an ADA compliant assistive listening path without a separate RF or IR plant. As a TAA compliant assistive listening system with US country of origin, it suits government, education, and commercial procurement.

Product Description

The LWS-02-A1-D pairs the LW-170-02 ListenWIFI 2-channel Wi-Fi audio server with two LWR-1050 receivers to deliver a complete Dante assistive listening system out of the box. Dante audio inputs let an integrator route source audio directly from a networked DSP or mixer using Dante Controller, simplifying rack integration in conference rooms, auditoriums, and houses of worship. The system supports venue-wide Wi-Fi audio streaming with industry-leading low latency and scales by adding servers when more channels or users are required. With optional LA-490 Bluetooth/IR beacons, the smartphone assistive listening app can switch listeners to the correct channel automatically based on their location. The ListenWIFI Manager software (Windows) handles configuration, channel management, and venue branding such as welcome messages and banners, and a public-address override allows venue-wide announcements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the system require a dedicated wireless network?
No. ListenWIFI streams over your existing Wi-Fi infrastructure, though the network should be sized for the number of concurrent streams. For large deployments, coordinate with IT on access-point coverage and bandwidth.

How does it integrate with our existing AV rack?
The LW-170-02 server accepts Dante audio inputs, so source audio routes from your networked DSP or mixer using Dante Controller — no analog breakout required.

Can guests use their own phones instead of receivers?
Yes. Listeners can use the ListenWIFI smartphone app or the included LWR-1050 receivers, letting you meet compliance while offering a BYOD option.

How do we expand coverage or add channels later?
The architecture is scalable — add servers to increase channel count and user capacity across the venue.

Is it suitable for government procurement?
Yes. It is TAA compliant with US country of origin, which typically satisfies federal and many state and enterprise procurement requirements.
