The LA-490 provides automated channel selection for assistive listening systems by broadcasting Bluetooth and infrared signals that pinpoint listener locations. Designed for venues serving multiple language groups or program streams, it eliminates the need for manual channel switching or QR code scanning. ListenWIFI mobile apps and LWR-1050 Wi-Fi Audio Receivers automatically connect to the correct audio feed based on the beacon's position, ensuring every attendee receives content in their preferred language without staff intervention.

Compact wall-mount design integrates into single-gang electrical boxes or mounts directly to finished surfaces. Battery operation supports temporary installations, while USB power enables extended range and continuous deployment. Adjustable transmission power and intervals let integrators balance coverage footprint with battery life across worship facilities, conference centers, theaters, and courtrooms. PIN-protected programming via ListenWIFI Manager software prevents unauthorized configuration changes and simplifies centralized system management.
