Infrared
System
TRANSMITS SOUND WIRELESSELY VIA
RADIO WAVES
THE RECIEVER MUST BE IN DIRECT LINE OF
SIGHT OF THE LIGHT BEAM FROM THE
TRANSMITTER.
COMMONLY, USED IN CHURCHES,
AUDIOTORIUMS, THEATRES.
IT CAN ONLY USED IN INDOOR SPACES.
SUNLIGHT MAY CAUSE INTERFERENCE IN
TRANSMISSION.
THERE ARE INFRARED DEVICES JUST MADE
FOR HOME TELEVISION LISTENING.
THE TRANSMITTER PLACED ON TV AND
PLUGS INTO AN ELECTRICAL LAYOUT.
THE USER WEARS A BATTERY-POWERED
HEADSET WITH VOLUME CONTROL.

FM
System
TRANSMITS SOUNDS WIRELESSELY VIA
RADIO WAVES
THE SPEAKER WEARS A COMPACT
TRANSMITTER AND MICROPHONE AND
THE LISTENER WEARS A PORTABLE
RECIEVER.
THE RECIEVER MAY HAVE A HEADPHONE,
NECKLOOP OR OTHER ACCESSORIES.
COMMONLY, USED FOR GROUP MEETINGS,
