Germany - Sennheiser has added Mobile Transmitter to its Guideport wireless multi-lingual visitor information system for exhibitions, museums, theme parks, zoos, botanical gardens, and historic sites. The belt-worn Mobile Transmitter and headset gives tour guides speaking to a group with pre-assigned Guideport headphones the flexibility to mix their live guided tour with pre-recorded audio at the press of a button, says Sennheiser.

The Mobile Transmitter Guideport system monitors the location of the tour group so that when the guide switches to pre-recorded audio, visitors hear content that is context appropriate - it matches the exhibit to which the tour guide has directed them. This frees the guide from the distracting and easily bungled task of triggering the appropriate audio clips.

"No other system on the market has the flexibility of our Sennheiser Guideport technology," claims Dennis Zembower, product manager for Guideport. "Mobile Transmitter gives tour guides the unprecedented ability to combine interactive, real-time tours with precise audio clips that are tailored to each visitor's language and background knowledge. The value added to a tour and the depth of appreciation that Guideport makes possible will guarantee visitors have an enriching, engaging experience."
