Over 10% of the population suffer from hearing impairment. The Disability Discrimination Act states anyone offering goods, Facilities or services to the general public must make ‘reasonable’ adjustments to ensure they do not discriminate against such people. The easiest way to meet this requirement is to have a portable induction loop system available and ready for use at all times.

Suitable for counter, table or desktop, it is ideal for restricted person contact in areas such as banks, post offices, reception desks, ticket booths and small meeting rooms. It can be particularly useful in open plan offices because of its portability.

Ready for use within seconds, the PL1/K1 facilitates easy and economical compliance with the Disability Discrimination Act now in force. To help preserve battery life the unit has an automatic shut-down feature after 10, 30 or 60 minutes (user set).

A boundary microphone is available as an optional extra to give greater coverage.
