Enhanced Audio Across the Spectrum on Icon of the Seas
Royal Caribbean is revolutionizing the cruise experience with the implementation of a BYOD (bring your own device) assistive listening system called Listen EVERYWHERE. This innovative audio over Wi-Fi solution, developed by Listen Technologies, is set to redefine the way guests enjoy audio content onboard.
The system, which is easy for venues to install on their existing Wi-Fi network, offers low latency and high-quality sound. This means that guests can access audio as far as the venue's wireless network extends, allowing them to hear clearly despite background noise, distance, hearing loss, or language barriers.
Listen EVERYWHERE is not exclusive to guests with hearing loss; all guests can download the free app and access audio as needed. This versatile system has applications beyond assistive listening, including language interpretation, streaming audio from video or TV screens, and audio description.
Guests at onboard silent dance parties can select audio from different DJ channels and listen via headphones or earbuds, providing a personalized audio experience. Moreover, passengers with Bluetooth-enabled hearing aids or cochlear implants can stream audio directly to their hearing devices.
The system increases speech intelligibility by streaming audio directly from the source without amplifying ambient noise. This is particularly useful in venues like sports bars, where guests can access audio for different screens in multiple languages. The Listen EVERYWHERE speakers on the Icon of the Seas refer to a wireless audio system that allows guests to listen to live or recorded audio content through their own devices via the ship's Wi-Fi, enhancing their experience in various venues onboard.
The app can be used in various venues on the Icon of the Seas, such as the main theater and Royal Theater. Guests can download the app to stream ship audio to their smartphones, providing them with a convenient and personalized audio solution. With Listen EVERYWHERE, the cruise experience is set to become more accessible and enjoyable for all guests.
