The C–Tec PDA103L Small Room Hearing Loop System (Tie/Desk Mic Application), contains everything you could possibly need to create a high-quality Fixed Hearing Loop System, for small meeting rooms, council chambers or doctors surgeries. C-Tec’s PDA103 AFIL Amplifier is ideal for any application requiring a restricted or small coverage area.

It includes a 3.5mm microphone input (with 9v phantom power) and a unique ‘outreach’ input; which allows the connection of multiple microphone and line level inputs via a series of single-gang audio connector plates. The amplifiers input(s) can be easily adjusted for optimum performance using the rotary level control provided on its front; an adjustable drive control is also included – allowing the amplifier’s output stage to be set up to suit the exact characteristics of the room.

A 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. The amplifier’s true current mode amplification circuitry guarantees excellent and consistent sound quality for the hearing impaired. This remarkable piece of kit is primarily designed to be free-standing or wall-mounted using the keyholes provided, however installation can be further aided by the provision of two set-up indicators (Peak and Limit) and a ‘Power On’ LED.
