FM +
System Overview
The groundbreaking FM + provides the industry-first choice of using traditional FM receivers or using personal electronic
devices over Wi-Fi for hearing assistance. Along with this flexibility comes exceptional audio quality, as the FM + is built on a
professional digital audio (DSP) platform.
The new FM + is designed to support those who want to use their own smartphones and headphones for a more discreet
assistive listening experience. Simplicity is also available for those who want a more traditional assistive listening system with
a dedicated FM receiver and headset. Venues no longer need to choose between providing FM or Wi-Fi assistive listening
systems. FM + supports the iOS and Android WaveCAST Apps and the Wi-Fi Receiver-- in addition to all of the current and
legacy Williams Sound FM receivers operating on the 72-76 MHz bandwidth.
Developed for hearing assistance in public venues, the FM + includes a complete audio processor optimized for the needs of
hearing impaired people and are easily integrated with an existing sound system, or used with a microphone as a stand-alone
system.

*If Dante™ Audio is to be physically isolated from the LAN, a separate NETWORK ROUTER and/or SWITCH
may be required. The LAN router may also be configured to keep Dante™ Audio separated from the LAN
with port management or other techniques, but as Dante trac increases, LAN performance may decrease.
