Univox SmartLoop – Inductive Hearing Loop for a Hearing Aid User

This is a small inductive hearing loop system to be used with a T-coil enabled hearing aid. Fortunately most hearing aids have a T-coil built in and can be activated by its remote control or a switch on the hearing aid. Please consult with an audiologist if your are in doubt and do a quick search on “inductive hearing loop technology” if you are in doubt how this wonderfully liberating technology works.

A hearing loop (sometimes called an audio induction loop) is a special type of sound system for use by people with hearing aids. The hearing loop provides a magnetic, wireless signal that is picked up by the hearing aid when it is set to ‘T’ (Telecoil) setting.

Where the flexibility offered by a portable loop is required then choose the Univox SmartLoop. This is a 1- 1 loop system that can be used at counters, in meetings on mains or battery. It can even be installed on the counter or invisibly under the counter. When installed on the counter the apparatus also serves as a sign that inductive loop technology is available for clients.

This very versatile hearing loop product can be used in different ways. The slim low-profile design allows for placement on a flat surface between two or several people in a meeting without being intrusive and can be used either with the built-in microphone or an external headset, lapel or omni-directional conference microphone connected to the 3.5mm mic input.

SmartLoop can also be used as a traditional portable desktop loop with the supplied stand mounted. The unit will now be in an upright position, easy to spot with hearing loop signage.

With and induction loop driver and a loop integrated into a single unit, SmartLoop is ideal for a quick and simple installation in counter/desk applications, such as ticket, service and retail counters or receptions desks. Just attach the unit underneath the counter and connect a microphone, preferably AVLM5, M-2 or CBL 410 microphone. Unless the counter itself is only temporary, you will need to use the mains adapter.
