SigNET's new PDA102 audio frequency induction loop amplifier is ideal for any application requiring restricted or small area coverage.
Available in a variety of cost-effective kit formats, it includes a 3.5mm microphone input (with 9V phantom power) and a unique 'Outreach' input which allows the connection of multiple microphone and line level inputs via a series of single gang audio connector plates.
The amplifier's input(s) can be easily adjusted for optimum performance using the rotary level control provided on its front and an adjustable drive control is also included, allowing the amplifier's output stage to be set-up to suit the exact characteristics of any room.
The PDA102's state-of-the-art audio processor features an automatic gain control which compensates for poor microphone techniques and helps suppress loud noises, hisses and clicks. The amplifier's true current mode amplification circuitry guarantees excellent and consistent sound quality for the hearing impaired.
The amplifier is designed to be free-standing or wall-mounted using the keyholes provided and installation is further aided by the provision of two set-up indicators (Peak and Limit) and a Power on LED.
The PDA102 is fully compatible with SigNET's unique 'Outreach Plate' audio input extension system. This system allows the connection of multiple microphone or line level inputs via a range of specially designed single gang connector plates covering the most common variants of audio connector including XLR line, XLR mic., 3.5mm jack, dual phono and 1/4” jack. A maximum of 10 plates (any mix) can be daisychained to the amplifier's Outreach socket using standard two pair audio cable such as Belden 8723.
