"Under the counter" Loop Kit
The Contacta IL-K240 is part of the Contacta's "under-the-counter" loop kit systems. As the name already says, these are designed to be used under a counter or desk. It offers a discreet solution for people using hearing aid.
An induction loop system is based on an ampfilier that converts speech or music, for example a microfoon, into magnetic pulses. These magnetic pulses are then transmitted through a induction loop. In the case of the IL-K240, IL-K220 and IL-K200 the loop is placed under a counter or desk. The hearing aid have a T-coil inside of them that can pick up these magnetic pulses and convert them back to sound.
Contacta IL-K240
The IL-K240 is used in particular at banks, city halls, airfields and, for example, information centres. It concerns situations where a conversation takes place at a counter or desk. In addition, it often involves locations where speech intelligibility of the conversation needs to be guaranteed and/or where there is a lot of ambient noise present.
The IL-K240 is a complete induction loop system for counters and consists of the following components:
- The Contacta HLD2 amplifier
- Discrete anti-vandal microphone
- Hearing loop aerial
- Power supply
- Fixings
The system has voice detection so it automatically switches on and off when a conversation starts or ends. In addition, the Automatic Gain Control (AGC) ensures that a constant signal strength is provided which contributes to an optimum hearing performance.
Operation and installation
The IL-K240 can be discreetly put under the counter or a desk. The system has speech detection, which means that it does not have to be operated when someone with a hearing problem comes to the counter. The HLD2 itself is easy to configure. The buttons on the front are 3 colour LEDs that indicate power, input and output diagnostic information.
Optionally, the discrete anti-vandal microphone can be replaced by a boundary (mouse) microphone (Contacta IL-K200) or the halo-standing microphone (Contacta IL-K220).
