A Guide To Induction Loop Systems
Induction loop systems (or to give them their full name: Audio Frequency Induction Loop Systems - AFILS) are used to assist the hearing impaired by transmitting amplified sound, i.e., music, speech, etc, to hearing aids fitted with a telecoil. (NHS and most other third party hearing aids are fitted with telecoils.) Demand for AFILS is increasing due to new legislation aimed at preventing discrimination against disabled people.
Self installable
The KTP Microloop is one of the few systems on the market designed to be self-installable. Requiring no special skills or tools, comprehensive instructions and all fixings are supplied with each unit. The savings that can be made through not requiring specially trained installation staff are considerable, making Microloop one of the most cost effective solutions for compliance with the DDA. The Loop box (27cm x 27cm x 2.6cm) can be permanently fitted underneath the counter either vertically or horizontally with a single wire connection to the desktop microphone and a small cable running to an adjacent 13 amp power socket.
