  2. Personal FM SystemBy Williams Sound • Description: For anyone needing auditory assistance to overcome background noise, reverberation, or distance from the sound source can benefit from the Personal FM System.  It can be very useful for teachers who may have students in their classroom that have a hearing impairment.  • How it works: The speaker wears the body-pack transmitter and a clip on microphone. The speaker's voice is broadcast as an FM radio signal over a distance of 100-150 feet. Listeners use the pocket receiver and earphone or headphone to hear the speaker's voice directly, with reduced background noise. http://www.williamssound.com/files/PFM300cat.pdf
