Signet PDA200E 200m2 Professional lecture room loop kit

Signet PDA200E 200m2 Professional lecture room loop kit

The PDA200E is a cost-effective induction loop amplifier that is designed to drive a perimeter loop of up to 200 square metres for assitive listening in meeting and conference rooms. The AKM3 kit comes with the PRO45 hanging microphone from Audio-technica for high quality audio input.

Product Features

AKM3

• Fully compliant as a perimeter loop system as described in BS 7594, clause 10 A3 and BS EN 60118-4 when correctly installed
• Up to 200 square metres (metal free) coverage - ideal for most ‘free space’ applications
• Two balanced / unbalanced line level inputs
• One microphone input with phantom power for electret microphones (12 V)
• Full compatibility with the Outreach plate audio input extension system
• Metal compensation control to improve intelligibility in rooms with high metal content
• Fully automatic compressor-limiter which maintains the loop signal for improved intelligibility
• Each input has a separate internal tamper-resistant control that can be manually adjusted
• Compression, output (Peak Current 3, 2, 1) and power on (Power) front panel indicators
• Short circuit protection
• Internal temperature safety cut-out to stop over heating
• Wall-mounted metal enclosure for a permanent robust installation
• Complete with installation kit, instructions and ‘loop fitted’ sticker
• Contractor kits available - suitable for use in meeting rooms, TV lounges, places of worship, etc.

PRO45

• Hi-SPL handling is ideal for suspension over choirs and orchestras
• Wide-range condenser element with low-mass diaphragm for superior performance
• Self-contained electronics eliminate need for external power modules
• Flat, smooth frequency response
• 25' (7.6 m) cable permanently attached between microphone and XLRM-type connector
