Equestrian Wireless Communication System for Trainers & Riders
The COMTEK ALS-216 Personal Trainer
Hear better – train better! No more shouting across the arena, no more straining to hear what was said. Get a close-up on sound with the COMTEK ALS-216 Personal Trainer wireless communication system to hear every word with enhanced speech clarity throughout the entire riding arena. COMTEK transmitters and receivers were originally developed for use in Film Production, Television Broadcast, and Assistive Listening. Now, the ALS-216 offers top trainers and riders the same high-quality sound, rugged construction and durability, and outstanding transmission and reception reliability demanded by top professionals.
How It Works
The trainer wears the M-216 transmitter and omni-directional lapel microphone (or optional uni-directional head-worn microphone), and the rider wears the PR-216 receiver and earpiece. The transmitter sends a radio signal to the receiver using the desirable 216 MHz frequency band. With no time delay between the trainer’s speech and the rider’s hearing, the rider can immediately follow instructions with a rapid response for improved performance.
Benefits for the Trainer
No need to shout or repeat yourself to be heard. No more voice strain and fatigue after a full day in the ring. The M-216 transmitter is lightweight and comfortable making it easy to wear. The omnidirectional CM-183RT lapel microphone will uniformly pick up the speakers voice no matter what direction they are looking. Plus, the optional head-worn HM-100C uni-directional microphone will effectively overcome wind and/or background noise while always staying in place. You can confidently focus on what needs to be said rather than worrying about being heard.
Benefits for the Rider
No more stopping, straining, or turning your head to hear instructions. Make immediate corrections as instructed to improve your riding technique with greater ease of understanding. The PR-216 receiver securely clips on to the rider, and the sports-type MDR-J10 single earbud will comfortably fit underneath a riding helmet. Plus a programmed EQ setting enhances the frequencies that help define speech intelligibility so you can ride more confidently with crystal clear sound.
