Listen Technologies, a provider of assistive listening, multi-language audio transmission and live-streaming audio solutions, and Ampetronic, a world-leading provider of audio induction loop systems, have partnered to create a single, market-leading source for innovative audio solutions.
When combined, they will offer the widest choice of options available anywhere in the world to improve hearing in difficult-to-hear conditions. Ampetronic will represent Listen Technologies solutions in the UK, while Listen Technologies will be the exclusive representative for Ampetronic systems in North America, starting on 1 January 2024.
Because of their shared commitment to innovation, both businesses will work together to jointly develop and market a wide range of fresh technological solutions.
A shared goal
Ampetronic and Listen Technologies are members of Allvida, an expanding consortium of businesses providing accessibility-related goods and services. The group was founded by Systematic Growth in 2020 to establish a company of top accessible brands.
Listen Technologies and Ampetronic are two well-known companies with over 60 years of combined experience in the development of assistive listening devices. Leading the way in audio induction loop systems and technology, Ampetronic also promotes accessibility. With Ampetronic’s Hearing Loop, users can create a customised listening experience without utilising a receiver from the venue by having sound sent straight to their cochlear implant or telecoil-equipped hearing aid.
Listen Technologies has won numerous industry awards for its infrared, radio frequency, portable, and audio over Wi-Fi-based systems. These facilitate assistive listening, interpretation, and tours in a variety of settings and venues, such as houses of worship, higher education facilities, performing arts centres, courtrooms, tours, and manufacturing plants.
With complimentary technologies and methods that support their shared goal of making clear audio accessible, Listen Technologies and Ampetronic have partnered to enhance their respective portfolios of assistive listening solutions. Each will provide a full range of options to satisfy their client’s particular requirements.
Combined expertise
“Listen Technologies and Ampetronic share a passion for providing better audio experiences for individuals and venues,” says Maile Keone, president and CEO of Listen Technologies.
“Today signifies a pivotal moment as this partnership grows our dedication to innovation and creating accessible experiences. Beginning January 1, 2024, we will be the exclusive Ampetronic distributor in North America. Additionally, we will use our combined expertise to continue to serve our customers, create exceptional products, and establish even higher benchmarks of excellence.”
Julian Pieters, CEO of Ampetronic, adds: “We are excited to be part of the Allvida group, helping us create this close partnership with Listen Technologies. With Ampetronic representing Listen Technologies products in the UK, and Listen representing our products in North America, both companies can offer an unrivalled set of solutions for our markets.
“Even more exciting is what the future will bring – between us, we will create a new roadmap for innovative products, delivering solutions to transform the way individuals benefit from accessible audio.”
Earlier this year, Listen Technologies was chosen by AVIXA for a second year running to provide its mobile group communication system for Show Floor tours and Integrated Experience tours at InfoComm 2023. The firm also launched ListenWIFI during the event, which is the next generation of its audio-over-Wi-Fi solution, Listen EVERYWHERE.
