What Is a Tour Guide System?

A tour guide system—also known as an infoport—is a wireless audio communication solution designed to help a speaker deliver their voice clearly to multiple participants at once. Whether you're leading a factory tour, organizing a museum visit, or hosting an outdoor event, these systems ensure that every word reaches your audience without interference.

How Does It Work?

The system typically includes a transmitter and receiver units, along with headsets, microphones, and a charging case. Additional accessories such as handheld microphones can also be integrated depending on the specific needs of the group.

The guide speaks into a microphone connected to the transmitter. The audio is then broadcast wirelessly to all receiver devices, and participants listen through their headsets. Some transmitters also feature MP3 playback functionality, enabling the guide to include pre-recorded audio or background music during the session.

Seamless Communication in Any Environment

Tour guide systems are ideal for use on the move, allowing speakers and listeners to stay connected even in noisy or crowded environments. The guide can speak comfortably without raising their voice, while participants enjoy crystal-clear audio—regardless of their distance from the speaker.

The effectiveness of the communication relies heavily on the overall quality of the system. While high-quality headsets and microphones are essential for clean audio transmission, the core performance depends primarily on the reliability and design of the devices themselves.

First Impressions Matter

When guests receive their receiver units during a tour or seminar, their initial experience can set the tone for the entire event. The Oria series is thoughtfully designed with ease of use and user satisfaction in mind. There’s no steep learning curve—participants can simply put on their headsets and start listening without delay.

Common Use Cases

Tour guide systems are used in a variety of professional and educational settings, including:

• Factory tours
• Outdoor excursions
• Museum and historical site visits
• Simultaneous interpretation
• Silent conferences
• Private training sessions (e.g., horseback riding, motorcycle training)
• Hearing support
• Laboratory instruction
• Audio description for visually impaired participants

Wherever environmental challenges such as noise or distance hinder communication, tour guide systems provide a reliable and effective solution.
