Williams Sound Press Release


Williams Sound Introduces  the “Whisper” FM Tour Guide System, Model TGS 863

EDEN PRAIRIE, MN –Williams Sound is pleased to announce that it has begun shipping its new FM tour guide system, the “Whisper,” to worldwide markets. 

The Whisper Tour Guide System was designed to ensure that everyone on a tour has an equal hearing experience. 

Often, people in the back of the tour group miss out on important information due distance from the guide. Conversations and other background noise only add to the difficulty of hearing on a tour. The Whisper Tour Guide System solves this problem by combining wireless FM and personal listening technology to enhance people’s ability to listen the guide speak more clearly and easily.

How the system works:

The tour guide uses the T863 transmitter equipped with a headset microphone to transmit their voice up to 98 feet (30 m) throughout the listening area.  Tour participants use the R863 receiver equipped with a headset, earphone or neckloop to pickup the guide’s message. Individual volume controls on the receiver allow the participants to listen to the guide at their personal comfort level.

The Whisper units are showcased in black, stylized, ergonomic cases.  Detachable belt clips promote hands-free operation.  The system features three selectable operating frequencies: 863.25 MHz, 863.75 MHz or 864.75 MHz.  As a result, up to three tour groups can operate the equipment in the same location, simultaneously, with no crosstalk or interference.

The Whisper Tour Guide System is packaged with a T863 transmitter; microphone, twenty R863 receivers, batteries and system carry case.  The system is harmonized to operate in most European countries and meets CE approval and RoHS lead-free compliance guidelines. Williams Sound backs the TGS 863 with a 3-year factory warranty.
