INDUCTION LOOP SYSTEMS .

Using an induction loop system, wearers of hearing aids and Cochlear implants equipped with a tele-coil (T-Coil) can pick up the signals emitted by electric/electronic audio sources (microphone or other amplified audio systems) directly in their personal hearing devices. As a result, they hear the sound without any annoying background noise, echo or reverberation. An outstanding advantage of using induction loop systems is that no special receivers are required. All that’s needed is a telecoil equipped personal hearing device.

SINGLE CHANNEL LOOP AMPLIFIER

The Pro Loop NX series is primarily designed for continuous use, making it an ideal choice for long-lasting performance. The integrated switch mode power supply and the Class-D amplifier design enable high efficiency and reduced waste heat generation. The Pro Loop NX series comes equipped with 3 mixable inputs and a dedicated microphone input with 48V phantom power support.

FOR COUNTER SPACES PRO LOOP NX3

• Loop current max. 2.5 A RMS

• The balanced input 1 can be switched between microphone and line sensitivity. The unbalanced input 2 handles line level signals or the audio signal of an electret microphone

FOR LARGE ROOMS PRO LOOP NX15

• Loop current max. 14 A RMS

• 100V Priority input

Link connections allow several Pro Loop NX Amplifiers to be combined into one unit

• A screw-fixed cover plate prevents the setting from being changed

SMALL AND MOBILE LOOP SYSTEMS

LA-90 / LA-90 SET

The LA-90 is a compact induction loop system designed for short-range communication at reception desks, counters, or sales areas. It captures speech via its built-in or external microphone and transmits audio wirelessly to hearing aids or inductive receivers like the LPU-1. Headphone connectivity is also supported, and the system includes a table microphone and telephone handset.

FOR SMALL ROOMS PRO LOOP NX7

• Loop current max. 7 A RMS

• 100V Priority input

Link connections allow several Pro Loop NX Amplifiers to be combined into one unit

• A screw-fixed cover plate prevents the setting from being changed

MULTICHANNEL LOOP AMPLIFIER

The Pro Loop NX7 LOS and Pro Loop NX15 LOS has three mixable inputs. Two inputs process analogue microphone and line levels. For condenser microphones, 48 V phantom power can be switched in. The third input processes 100 V signals with priority over the other inputs.

With the two-channel amplifier, loop output B can be switched between 0° or 90° phase shift.

INFRARED TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS (IR).

Infrared audio transmission ensures interference-free and safe communication directly to personal hearing devices. Ideal for confidential areas like courtrooms, conference rooms, and multiplex cinemas with neighbouring transmission systems. It is also valuable in schools, universities, and large auditoriums with partial signal coverage or high radio-frequency emissions in city centres.
