Ampetronic New Product Trio at Frankfurt
Specialist induction loop manufacturer Ampetronic aired three new products at Frankfurt’s Pro Light + Sound Show.
Two of these products, the ILD14 and HL-S02, complete a family that contains the ILD20, aimed at office environments, and the ILD15 which has its own battery back up for those situations where complete fail safe is essential, such as voice evacuation systems. The addition of these units to the range means that there is now an induction loop driver for any situation - from an office to the most demanding of outdoor applications.
The ILD14 is designed for local area coverage and is suitable for applications such as help points and localised area coverage. Its enclosure has a better than IP65 weatherproof rating and it is ruggedized to satisfy the most exacting standards. This means that it cannot only withstand water ingress and extremes of temperature, but can also be used in environments such as transport systems where vibration is an issue.
The ILD14 is a self-contained unit capable of running directly from mains power and is switchable between 110-220V, with a 12Vdc version also available. It is ideal for both new installations and as a retro fit option. It has three inputs, one 100V line and two loudspeaker inputs, the second of which can be factory fitted to directly accept a microphone.
The second product is the HLS02, a circuit board that is available for integration into another manufacture’s own equipment. It has the same applications as the ILD14 and can be run in both 12V and 48V versions. Signal can be accepted from either 100V line or a low impedance source such as an intercom.
Finally, the ILR3 induction loop receiver/monitor is a small, portable unit for use with audio induction loops. It is an upgraded version of the ILR2 with a 50% improvement on the audio distortion figure, taking it to better than 0.5% THD. This brings it into line with improvements made to the loop amplifiers and gives the user a true indication of amplifier performance which may have been previously masked by the lower performance of the receiver.
These types of receiver can be used where a hearing aid is not worn, but where amplified sound is needed by the listener, such as induction loop monitoring, visitor guidance, museum/art gallery commentary, noisy environments where ear-defenders must be used but instructions must still be audible.
