The Contacta IL-AE97 is an above-the-counter hearing loop aerial for one-to-one service points, combining the hearing loop wire and the ADA T-coil signage into a single 8-inch square panel that mounts on the counter or on a wall behind it. The aerial transmits the audio signal from a Contacta hearing loop driver as a magnetic field, and any customer with a hearing aid or cochlear implant switched to the T-coil (telecoil) position picks up the audio directly in their device, cutting out ambient noise and letting them hear the staff side clearly through the barrier. The IL-AE97 covers a magnetic field strength distance of approximately 2.62 feet, which is the working distance from the sign to the customer's ear for reliable pickup.
The panel does two jobs at once: it is the visible ADA-compliant Telecoil "T" mode sign that instructs customers to switch their device, and it is the hearing loop aerial itself. Combining the two into one piece keeps the counter clean and eliminates the guesswork of where to place a separate aerial relative to a separate sign. The IL-AE97 offers two positioning options to suit different counter layouts: it can be mounted vertically to a wall or barrier, or attached to a stand for countertop placement in front of the customer.
The IL-AE97 is designed to work with Contacta's hearing loop drivers, including the STS-A31H window intercom amplifier's built-in hearing loop drive, and connects to the driver via the included 6.56-foot cable. It is well suited to bank teller windows, healthcare reception, pharmacies, supermarket customer service desks, information centers, library circulation counters, airport check-in and information counters, embassy and government facility reception, and any other above-the-counter service point where one-to-one communication needs to be accessible to customers with hearing loss.
If you're not sure whether the IL-AE97 above-the-counter aerial is the right choice for your installation (as opposed to the IL-AE98 window-mounted aerial or the IL-AE99 under-the-counter aerial), please call us at 800-207-2259.
