The Contacta IL-AE99 is an under-the-counter hearing loop aerial for one-to-one service points where you want the hearing loop installed without a visible sign on the counter or barrier. Rather than a fixed panel like the IL-AE97 above-the-counter aerial or the IL-AE98 window-mounted aerial, the IL-AE99 is a flexible 6-foot copper wire in a black PVC jacket that installers shape to match the counter's footprint and secure to the underside of the counter with self-adhesive clips, P-clips, or hot glue. Once installed, the aerial transmits a magnetic field up through the counter surface, 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 from the hearing loop driver.
The under-the-counter design is the right choice in three specific scenarios. First, when the customer-facing side of the counter needs to stay uncluttered by signage (retail counters where clean aesthetics matter, high-end lobby desks, museum reception). Second, when a T-coil sign is already provided elsewhere at the service point (a wall-mounted sign, a printed handout, a POS screen prompt) and the aerial just needs to deliver signal. Third, when the barrier or counter geometry doesn't accommodate the flat panels of the IL-AE97 or IL-AE98. The IL-AE99 covers a magnetic field strength distance of approximately 47 inches, which is the working distance from the wire to the customer's ear for reliable pickup.
The IL-AE99 is designed to work with Contacta's hearing loop drivers, including the STS-A31H window intercom amplifier's built-in hearing loop drive and the HLD2 loop driver. Both driver and aerial combinations meet BS EN 60118-4:2006 AFILS hearing loop performance standards when installed correctly. The aerial itself is CE and FCC EMC compliant.
The IL-AE99 ships as a ~6-foot length of 0.15-inch-diameter copper wire in a black PVC protective covering, ready to be shaped to fit the specific counter it is being installed under. Installation runs quickly with the mounting hardware of your choice (self-adhesive clips are typical for smooth-surface counters; P-clips are typical for exposed structural undersides).
The IL-AE99 is well suited to bank teller windows, post office counters, supermarket customer service desks, information center reception, library circulation counters, airport check-in and ticket booths, embassy and government facility reception, and any other above-the-counter service point where a hearing loop needs to be installed without visible above-counter hardware.
If you're not sure whether the IL-AE99 under-the-counter aerial is the right choice for your installation (as opposed to the IL-AE97 above-the-counter aerial or the IL-AE98 window-mounted aerial), please call us at 800-207-2259.
