Hey, everybody, I need some product advice.

I have a client who told us early on that she wanted two plasmas, one above the other, and she wanted them able to be switched to any source, but I just assigned the sound to the bottom one...and she has now finally said, "but I wanted headphones to run the sound for the upper one! It doesn't make any sense not to have sound for the upper one!" Well, I didn't think so, either, but PIP does not have sound going for both images, so I am not surprised that I did not ask her about that.

Anyway, I need some RF headphones. The listening area is 40 to 60 feet from the system area, but I already have an antenna extension for the Pronto TSU6000, so thirty feet of range is about all I need. I just need to be sure that the headphones are not ALSO on 418 mHz, and I figure someone out there knows.

Anyone?

Most headphones now adays are in the rf range of 900 Mhz, so I see no problem with this.

Some are even IR, although the IR from the base station might cause some problems.

Thanks, o KingTypoly One!


As for IR, I have a customer who did not realize that "wireless" does not mean "RF" and so cannot use headphones more than about ten feet away from her system. I am grateful that I have already learned to ask that question, especially as there is one solid wall PLUs forty to sixty feet between the system and the listening area!

And some are 2.4Ghz and I'm sure 5.8Ghz. They are all subject to reception problems and interference from cordless phones, wireless networks etc. Especially if you're "on the move". You'll probably have to audition some models with various frequencies to find what works best.

The Senheisers are my favirote. In the 900Mhz band, but up around 925-926Mhz. Far enough away from most Cordless phones.
