Solution

For the foyer, we have used 2-way pendant speakers EDL-435/WS. They provide background music with a homogeneous sound distribution.

In addition, hi-fi speakers EDL-62HQ have been applied in the shop and restaurant, ceiling speakers EDL-82/WS in the sanitary facilities and flush-mount speakers EDL-25 in the exhibition area.

The mono mixing amplifier PA-6480 with a power rating of 480 W is used for operating all of the passive speaker systems. It features 100 V outputs for a maximum of 6 PA zones with individual volume control.

The insertion module PA-1140RCD and the zone paging microphone PA-6000RC complement the wide variety of applications possible with the amplifier. Any visitor wishing to have a spontaneous audio tour without prior notice can receive further information on the exhibits via insertion modules DMP-102.

The loop amplifier LA-402 and the inductive receiver LR-202 ensure wireless reception of the signal inserted into the inductive loop. Within the loop, any number of receivers can be operated which are available at the ticket counter, if required. At the same time, the electromagnetic audio signal sent via the ring loop can also be used via the T-coil of a hearing aid. In case of an announcement, it will be transmitted to the induction loop with highest priority and the running programme interrupted for the duration. Voice transmission system ATS-80T or ATS-80R is available for guided museum tours.

LA-402

Order No.: 0179160

Active loop amplifier,

with dynamic compressor for setting up an audio induction loop system in large rooms up to 750 m².
Inductive transmission of audio signals allows users of hearing aids with a T-coil or induction loop receivers, e.g. the LR-202, to receive audio signals. Wireless transmission is an advantage of audio induction loop systems which makes it possible for the user to move freely within the loop.
Audio induction loop systems are used for various applications, e.g. as a hearing aid for the hearing impaired in houses of worship, theatres, cinemas, waiting rooms and lounges, as interpreting systems, for lectures in museums, exhibitions, etc.
With audio induction loop systems, an induction loop made of a wire winding is laid on the floor, the wall or along the ceiling and is controlled by a constant current amplifier. Thus, a magnetic field is created within the loop which induces a voltage into the T-coil of the hearing aid or into the induction loop receiver. In the receivers, this voltage is then converted again into an audio signal.

Metal loss correction 0-3 dB/oct.
