We were fortunate enough a few years ago to have our Hearing Assist system replaced with a T-Coil Loop system. My old Telex Soundmate (and receivers) sat idle in my Rack Room since. Today we're starting an interesting experiment. We pulled the SoundMate and installed it into our Orchestra Pit. For our upcoming Musical, we are going to try using it as an In Ear Monitor for the Pit. Yes, the quality of the Telex Soundmates is not... ideal. But it may be a low cost (free) alternative to give our pit musicians and conductor more monitor flexibility.
The T-Coil and SoundMate operate on wildly different spectrums so we don't need to worry about signal bleed either. Anyone else repurpose any gear like this with success?
