Description

The AKM1 Meeting/Seminar Room Hearing Loop Kit is ideal for creating a high quality induction loop system for a meeting or seminar room up to 200m2 and includes everything you would need to install the system*.

*With the exception of loop cable selectable as a separate item.

The AKM1 Meeting/Seminar Room Hearing Loop Kit includes a  includes a PDA200E induction loop amplifier, an APM omni-directional plated microphone, 9m Belden cable.  It also includes a “Loop Fitted” sticker so that anyone using the room is aware that they can connect to a hearing loop.

How does it work?

The loop cable connects to the amplifier and should be run around the perimeter of the room.  This is required at either at skirting level (or under carpet tiles) or ceiling (in or in floating ceiling), but normally within the range of 2-3 meters off ground, no higher.

The APM microphone supplied is connected to the amplifier using the belden audio cable.  This is usually fitted either in the centre of the room or above the meeting room table as that is where most audio will come from, but no higher than 3m.  Options are available if your ceiling is higher than this or if you require a different type of mic such as handheld or roaming wireless microphone.

The loop amplifier transforms the audio signal into an electric current in a loop cable surrounding the listening area. Subsequently, the loop current sets up a magnetic field which fluctuates with the audio.  When the hearing aid is switched on to the T-setting, the T-coil will pick up the signal from the magnetic field and convert it back into audible sound. This means sound is clear and crisp and tailored for the individual’s hearing loss.

Anyone wearing a hearing aid with the T-coil setting could connect to the hearing loop.
