We have a large financial institution that we work for country wide, and one of their requests on some of their larger offices is that in their "team rooms" ,which generally consists of 4-8 employees sitting at a large desk with divider down the middle, have personal speakers at their work station broadcasting what ever is on the tv in that specific office. Some offices have distributed cable some have boxes behind tv. Our set up now is usually a DAC or audio out of cable box spliced to an audio wire which is piped to the desk along with their data cables to a Composite L/R audio distribution unit then audio off that via RCA to 3.5 mm then to their individual speaker. We cant be the only people doing such and im interested if their is a better way to go about doing this.

Thanks

My first thought is this: Are there free frequencies in your area that FM Modulators, the kind that are used to inject audio into a car audio system via the tuner, so those could broadcast the signal locally, very locally?

Look up language lab parts. The place I worked for years ago, Califone, had distribution networks. I just looked. The headphones are crummy and clunky.
Do you want to provide the headphones, or let everyone please themselves with their own choice?

What is the "Composite L/R audio distribution unit" you speak of? Is "composite" ever audio?

If I couldn't find something pretty fast, I'd get several small metal chassis, some phone jacks, some wire, and some resistors. For 8 people, I'd put 100 ohms in series with each channel at each headphone jack. That keeps the impedance in a safe range. Then run it off some amplifier or other.

Will all seats in a given team room always listen to the same program source? Do you need individual control, such as volume, at each seat? If there is headphone listening, is there any need to mix local audio, perhaps from a computer? Do you need to be able to control the TV source from one or more seats?

All good questions. Is there an RFQ? What are all the features that they want?
