Hearing Loop Cable

The hearing loop consists of a microphone to pick up the spoken word.

Hearing loop cable.

Do not mount the loop cable behind dado rails as the loop signal will be uncomfortably strong for the hearing aid user. Ideal for use as a floor or ceiling loop in audio frequency induction loop systems. Phased arrays interwoven loops can also be considered. The echo loop wire is 38m in length and will cover a room of approximately 100sqm.

A meeting room a church a service counter etc to act as an antenna that radiates the magnetic signal to the hearing. The wire can be use with echo megaloop echo megaloop dac or echosl. Audio induction loop systems also called audio frequency induction loops afils or hearing loops are an assistive listening technology for individuals with reduced ranges of hearing. A single loop or run of wire is generally adequate for most small loop installations.

A 100m reel of white 1 5mm2 single core cable. See our cable spec sheet for more cable specs. The most important part of setting up an induction loop is the strength of the magnetic field. The la 397 hearing loop cable is a 16 gauge stranded copper cable with a colored red r or green g outer jacket that is installed in an area in a specific layout i e.

A loop cable is a fixed wire that is placed around the perimeter of a specific area. Magnetic field strength in audio induction loops for hearing aid. Depending upon the coverage area it may be required to run two or more loops to get the desired coverage. An amplifier which processes the signal which is then sent through the final piece.

Typical listening height try to locate ceiling loops approximately 1 2m above the listener s head listening height with the hearing aid user sitting or standing is normally 1 2 to 1 8m from the floor. What is more common is improving the acoustics and sound system such that the hearing aid can pick up the natural sound without any further assistance.

Simple perimeter loop or more complex phased array loop. A hearing loop consists of one or more physical loop of cable which are placed around a designated area usually a room or a building. Spoken words and an amplifier which processes the signal which is then sent to a loop cable. The cable generates an electromagnetic field throughout the looped space.

The loop system consists of a microphone to pick up the sound e g. Fortunately international agreement has been reached on the most appropriate field strength for hearing aid purposes and this specification is the subject of a british standard bs 6083 pt 4.
