RECHARGEABLE PYRAMID HEARING LOOP WITH DOCKING PORT
Why this loop is better than others on the market:
A top of the range loop that has been designed and
manufactured to the highest specification and is suitable for numerous
applications at the flick of a switch whilst being fully portable. Allows the hard of hearing to participate in
either one to one conversations or group meetings and improve hearing quality.
Shortlisted for the Naidex new product of the year award.
The loop can be used on mains or battery. The loop can be used even when
charging. The unit will only charge up
to the capacity of the batteries and then stops charging prolonging battery life. A microphone is fixed into the top for
collecting sound without having to rely on rebounded sound like many loops on
the market. The air vent under the
ridge ensures the loop is kept at the correct temperature to optimise
performance. This loop uses quality
rechargeable NiCad batteries which are replaceable. Nonslip rubber feet, offset feet ensure the loop will only sit on
the base the correct way for charging.
The pyramid shape of the loop allows an upright loop for
better audibility. Colour blue and
