Description

The AKR1 Waiting Room Hearing Loop Kit is ideal for creating a high quality induction loop system for a waiting 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 AKR1 Waiting Room Hearing Loop Kit includes a  includes a PDA200E induction loop amplifier, an APL Line Level Audio Input Plate, 6m 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 APL Audio Input Plate supplied is connected to the amplifier using the belden audio cable.  The waiting room audio is then connected to the APL Plate, which takes a stereo phono line-level audio input. (connecting cable not supplied).

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.
