The Sound Choice Model SC-186K is a compact wireless infrared audio transmitting system. The unit is completely self-contained and includes a super-sensitive Crown PZM® microphone. Its high gain internal pre-amplifier makes even the faintest sounds audible. The Sound Choice Model SC-186K system incorporates a powerful infrared emitter which broadcasts audio over invisible infrared light waves. The infrared transmission is received by high-gain headsets worn by those needing hearing assistance. Styled in a dignified oak case, the transmitter blends with both traditional and modern government, courtroom or commercial settings.

The Sound Choice Model SC-186K system has built-in equalization circuits which de-emphasize the undesirable rumble of air conditioners, traffic and fans while emphasizing frequencies that contribute to the crispness and intelligibility of speech. Its built-in compressor/peak limiter automatically adjusts the volume so that speakers in close proximity to the unit will not cause distortion in the receivers. Distant speakers are automatically boosted in volume, while unexpected peaks are instantly attenuated.

The SC-186K has the ability to integrate into an existing sound system or utilize the unit's own highly sensitive self-contained microphone. There is also an output jack included for transcription recording.
