PDA103S Hearing Loop Amplifier

The PDA103 is a true current mode, hearing loop amplifier. It may be surface-mounted and is designed to cover ticket counters up to 1.2m2 (PDA103C kit version), or rooms up to 50m2 (PDA103R/L/S kit versions).

Product Features

Wall mountable hearing loop amplifier
50m2 approximate coverage
Includes everything you need to create a high-quality domestic hearing loop system for bedrooms, living rooms, TV lounges and studies up to 50m2 in size (7m x 7m)
PDA103 amplifier includes a 3.5mm microphone input, a line level input, a digital ‘TOS’ link connector and an ‘outreach’ socket
Designed to connect to TV sets using the amplifier’s ‘Outreach’ connector via the APL plate and SCART lead supplied.
Alternatively, the amplifier can be connected to TV sets using the amplifier’s onboard Digital TOS-link connector and a separately available TOS-link cable. See main instructions for further details.
Metal compensation control helps improve intelligibility in rooms with high metal content
Adjustable mic, line level, ‘digital’ and ‘outreach’ controls.
Drive (level) control allows the amplifier’s output stage to be set-up to suit the exact characteristics of the application.
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
Limit, Peak, Loop Fault and Power On indicators
Designed to be wall-mounted using the keyholes provided
Meets and exceeds the requirements of BS7594 and EN60118-4 when correctly installed
