VL1 12V Vehicle Induction Loop Amplifier

SigNET's new VL1 induction loop amplifier is specifically designed to help hearing aid users communicate more effectively in cars, taxis, buses and other motor vehicles.

Timed to coincide with the Disability Discrimination Act's new 'Provision and use of transport vehicles supplement' (published December 2006), the amplifier includes two 3.5mm jack inputs (microphone and line), both with their own level controls, and a metal compensation feature which can be used to offset the frequency problems associated with running an induction loop close to metal.

Two kitted versions are available. The VL1/B1 12V kit includes a VL1 amplifier, fused cigarette lighter adaptor, a pre-formed loop capable of generating a loop listening field of 1.2m2 (typically positioned in a vehicle's roof lining or under a seat) and a microphone. A 24V version of the kit (the VL1/B2) is also available.

Measuring just 120mm wide, 31mm high and 60mm deep, the VL1 is ideal for dashboard mounting. It includes three indicators - Peak, Limit and Power On – and meets or exceeds the requirements of BS7594 and EN60118-4 when correctly installed.
