Squelch The purpose of squelch is to mute the audio output of the receiver when the signal from the transmitter is turned off or the level is too weak to be received. Without squelch radio noise will be heard in the earphone. The squelch on the receiver can be adjusted to mute the audio at different RF signal strengths.

Designing a System Use the following steps when designing an IR system: 1. Determine the number of audio channels that will be used (1 or 2). 2. Determine the room size and shape. 3. Use the room size and shape information along with the appropriate 1 or 2 channel coverage pattern footprint to overlay the footprint on the room dimensions and determine the number of units required and the placement of those units to cover the desired listening audience.
