Microphones:
–  The Roger Touchscreen Mic 3 is perfect for presenters or chairs, ensuring clear communication at the forefront of meetings.  It contains an unlimited number of Roger receivers and allows hard-of-hearing users with Phonak hearing aids to connect directly, eliminating the need for Neckloops. This connection can be made an unlimited number of times.
– The Passaround Mics are designed for other participants such as councillors and members of the public, enabling engaging and inclusive discussions.  The push-to-talk feature ensures only one Passaround mic is active at a time, minimising cross-talk and disruption.  

DigiMaster Loudspeaker:
This advanced ‘speech enhancement’ speaker, with its 15 high-quality individual speakers, is classified as an assistive listening device.  It intelligently measures speech captured by the Roger microphones alongside the ambient noise within the environment, making real-time adjustments to ensure optimal signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). The sound is beamformed across the room, enhancing speech intelligibility for both councillors and members of the public.

NeckLoop Receiver:
For those with hearing difficulties, this receiver directly transmits speech from the Roger microphones to the hearing aid via the Telecoil setting.  Alternatively, headphones are available for general use by all attendees.

Support for All:
The Soundfield Digimaster loudspeaker delivers crystal-clear audio coverage throughout the room. For councillors and members of the public with hearing impairments, a Neckloop receiver offers direct connectivity to their hearing aids, ensuring optimal sound accessibility.

Convenience:
This user-friendly system sets up in minutes, with all microphones conveniently stored in a single case that charges all units from a single plug.

Complete Integration:
Easily integrate with existing systems or utilise as a standalone two-way audio connection, ensuring that both in-person and online participants can engage fully in every meeting.

Flexibility:
The portable design enables use in any room or building. If council meetings are held in different locations, transportation is effortless as all equipment fits neatly into one case and one loudspeaker bag. Both setup and pack away time only takes a few minutes and can be easily adapted to different room configurations, allowing for transport and use in alternative locations.

Personalisation:
We offer personalised solutions specifically designed to address your unique requirements, complete with a clear, customised user manual and comprehensive product training.

Secure Wireless Connection:
All the Roger units are wirelessly connected via a 2.4GHz encrypted connection, maintaining confidentiality.  With adaptive automatic frequency hopping, the system seamlessly switches frequencies when needed to avoid interference.

Charging & Storage:
The Roger microphones and receivers are stored in a lightweight, durable aluminium charging case, allowing all units to charge from a single plug socket.   The DigiMaster Loudspeaker includes an adjustable tripod stand and storage bag, optimising portability of the system.

Connectivity for remote meetings:
For online council meetings, the Roger system connects to a PC, enabling remote attendees to hear the discussion.  For any councillors participating remotely, their voices are transmitted through both the DigiMaster loudspeaker and NeckLoop receivers if needed.

One of the standout features of the Phonak Roger range is its customisation capability, allowing it to accommodate varying numbers of councillors and members of the public.  The quantities listed serve as a starting point, you can adjust the quantity of each item to meet your specific requirements, ensuring optimal system performance.

FAQs

What is the warranty period?
All equipment includes a standard 2-year warranty, with the option to purchase an extended 5-year warranty.

Does this comply with the 2010 Equality Act?
All public buildings are required to comply with the 2010 Equality Act and provide reasonable adjustments for ALL disabilities, including hearing loss.  Traditionally, a fixed hearing loop is the standard solution, however the Roger System complies with the latest standard and much more.

What is battery life?
Almost all Roger products have a battery life of 8 – 10 hours.  Charging time from 0 – 100% is approximately 2 hours.

Is the system confidential?
Yes, provided all Roger units are in the same room. If a NeckLoop receiver is missing then confidentiality could be breached.  In this scenario, you can quickly create a new network on the Touchscreen Mic and re-pair all units within the room in just a couple minutes to regain confidentiality.

How secure is the Roger network?
The Roger network is in the 2.4GHz bandwidth and is designed to be secure and tap-proof.  The system runs on a 128-bit AES encryption which guarantees secure transmission. Only Roger receivers connected to Roger microphones can receive the signal.

Is Roger liable to interference?
No, due adaptive algorithms the system monitors channels and simply ‘hops’ all units in the network to a free channel if any interference is detected.

Can I return products?
We offer a 30-day money back guarantee, provided all items are placed back into its original packaging and are in a sellable condition.

How do I purchase the equipment?
It is possible to buy though our website directly, but we highly recommend to get in contact with us directly where we can discuss your exact needs and create a bespoke package that meets your criteria.
