CONTACTA Above-the-Counter Audio Induction Loop System with Halo Microphone

The CONTACTA Above-the-Counter Audio Induction Loop System is an advanced hearing assist solution designed to provide clear communication for hearing aid wearers in public-facing environments. It is ideal for settings where background noise can be a problem or where clear speech transmission is essential, such as reception desks, ticket counters, and service windows.

The system includes a discreet loop aerial integrated within a high-visibility signage sticker, which can be easily fixed to a counter, desk, or glass surface. This allows customers to immediately identify the available hearing assistance and switch their hearing aids to the 'T' (telecoil) setting to receive a direct, clear audio signal, free from ambient noise interference. The low-profile design of the components allows for flexible and unobtrusive installation in various positions.

Advanced Features & Performance

This professional-grade system is packed with sophisticated features to ensure reliable operation and superior sound quality. It utilises microprocessor control for intelligent management and includes an energy-saving 'green' standby mode to reduce power consumption. Advanced audio processing incorporates AGC (Automatic Gain Control), compression, and a noise gate to deliver optimal speech clarity.

The constant-current loop drive ensures a stable magnetic field, while continuous self-testing provides peace of mind by monitoring system health. An isolated audio line input allows for connection to alternative audio sources, such as a PA system or media player, offering greater installation versatility. The unit provides clear power and operational status via an LED indicator.
