Digi-wave brings digital features to the world of portable translation equipment. Williams Sound has revolutionised the field with several key new features:

• Digi-wave systems can be used in most countries worldwide. No more worrying about which frequencies should be used in which country.
• Digi-wave allows listeners to ask questions. Great for tour guide use and factory tours.
• Digi-wave makes it easy for a pair of interpreters, tour guides or teachers to work together as a team.
• Digi-wave can be used as a digital, wireless, push-to-talk mic system for round-table conferences.

Language Interpretation System

Designed to provide all functions necessary for simultaneous interpretation of up to 14 languages, where a floor, or common, language is used. Ideal for use in small- to medium-size group venues -- presentation-style conferences, meetings and churches -- when portability and wireless equipment is important.

Tour Guide Systems

Enhances communication between tour guides and tour group members. Helps overcome background noise and distance from the tour guide -- even in noisy surroundings. Can be used in factories, museums, tourist attractions, or bus tours -- anywhere hearing assistance is required for tour-type presentations.

Team Teach Systems

Digi-Wave team teaching is a method of classroom instruction in which two or more teachers can combine their skills and knowledge to teach as a team to a group of students, one of more of whom need hearing assistance.

Wireless Intercom System

Ideal for use in an event-production scenario, where a director, assistant director and other crew members (each responsible for one facet of the overall production, i.e., lights, costumes, music), can immediately and accurately communicate with one another from different locations on a production stage. The new Digi-Wave (digital spread spectrum--DSS) is a simultaneous, two-way, wireless intercom system in the 2.4 GHz band. Slim, lightweight, and simple to set up and use. With the push of a button, users can access two-way communication for easy production-crew leader/ member participation.

Portable Discussion System

Ideal for formal gatherings such as business conferences, board meetings, school board meetings and city council meetings.

Portable Presentation System

Digi-Wave is ideal for team presentations, where two or more presenters combine their skills and knowledge to present as a team to an audience. This system provides enhanced listening capabilities for audiences attending business conferences, tradeshows and corporate training sessions.

Personal Listening Systems

Enhances communication between participants in classrooms, at meetings, TV listening, listening in the car, and other one-to-one or small-group situations.
