Product Description
The SigNET PDA1000/2 is a desktop professional Induction Loop Amplifier to support assistive hearing as part of an installed audio system.
The PDA1000/2 provides an area coverage of 900sq metres and so is ideal for room coverage in applications such as large classrooms, lecture halls, church halls and medium-sized churches, medium shop floors and boardrooms for example.
This professional Audio Frequency Induction Loop System (or 'AFILS') is designed to be integrated as part of a permanently installed audio system such as a public address, AV or background music system.
The PDA1000/2 includes one balanced microphone input and one switchable balanced mic or line level input, both of which will accept standard 3pin XLR connectors. Optional 11v phantom power is also available on both outputs to allow the use of electret or condenser microphones.
This induction loop amplifier also features a four-way 'Outreach' input offering full compatibility with Signet's unique Outreach Plate audio input extension system. This system allows the connection of up to 10 additional microphone or line level inputs via a range of specially designed single-gang connector plates.
Other features include three level controls (one for each input), a loop drive control, an output current meter and a 'compression' activity display giving visible indication of the amplifier's compressor.
