Multilingual tour commentary systems
Multivox is a multi-lingual commentary system designed specifically to meet the needs of tour operators. Multivox enables up to sixteen languages to be replayed simultaneously through an individual sound system - giving each passenger full control over their choice of language and volume.

A background music option enables music to be played whilst there is no commentary being played. The music fades automatically when the commentary starts.

Multivox stores the commentary in a digital form that enables each tour to be replayed in a flexible manner (unlike tape-based systems)

The Multivox computer is PC based but is packaged to survive the harsher environment found on vehicles. The unit is powered by the vehicle’s battery and can be used on 12V or 24V systems.

This individual sound system comprises an audio transmitter (that is built into the Multivox computer), splitters ( normally mounted beneath the seats) and the personal sound modules. One splitter is required for each pair of personal sound modules.

A coaxial cable feeds the power and audio from the transmitter output sockets (located on the front of the Multivox) around the vehicle to each receiver unit.   The Multivox system is driver controlled and allows up to 16 different languages of commentary to be replayed simultaneously.

The commentary from the Multivox computer is replayed through an individual sound system - which enables each passenger to plug in headphones and select the language & sound volume they require.  Multivox computer - Industry standard, passive backplane, rugged PC - built into a dedicated enclosure with automotive power supply.
