Williams AV is debuting three new products at Booth C5533. Visitors will see the new Digi-Loop 104 small room hearing loop amplifier, the Digi-Wave ACM production intercom, and the SoundPlus T3 infrared transmitter for assistive listening. 

Williams AV expands its assistive listening solutions with the addition of the Digi-Loop 104, an ultra-compact, budget-friendly perimeter loop amplifier for small rooms. This Class D amplifier features high-efficiency technology for lower power consumption and natural cooling, and its user-friendly interface and clear status indicators make it easy for admins to monitor. 

The latest addition to the Digi-Wave product line, the Digi-Wave ACM (Advanced Comms Module) is designed to meet the evolving needs of professional wireless production intercoms.

It stands out as one of the industry's only infrared transmitters that integrates with third-party room systems, allowing AV professionals to control and monitor the device using Telnet commands via Ethernet.
