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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IL-AE99 is designed to work with Contacta's hearing loop drivers, including the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.safeandvaultstore.com\/products\/contacta-sts-a31h-window-intercom-amplifier\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSTS-A31H\u003c\/a\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're not sure whether the IL-AE99 under-the-counter aerial is the right choice for your installation (as opposed to the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.safeandvaultstore.com\/products\/contacta-il-ae97-above-the-counter-hearing-loop-aerial\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eIL-AE97\u003c\/a\u003e above-the-counter aerial or the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.safeandvaultstore.com\/products\/contacta-il-ae98-window-mounted-hearing-loop-aerial\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eIL-AE98\u003c\/a\u003e window-mounted aerial), please call us at 800-207-2259.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnder-the-counter hearing loop aerial with no visible above-counter hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible 6-foot copper wire that installers shape to fit the specific counter footprint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagnetic field strength distance approximately 47 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with Contacta hearing loop drivers, including the STS-A31H window intercom amplifier's hearing loop drive and the HLD2 loop driver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstalls with self-adhesive clips, P-clips, or hot glue (mounting hardware not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact protective PVC-jacketed cable stows and ships flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBank teller windows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePost office counters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupermarket customer service desks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInformation centers and welcome desks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLibrary circulation counters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAirport check-in and ticket booths\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmbassy, consular, and government facility reception\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStandards and Compliance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplies with BS EN 60118-4:2006 AFILS when used with the HLD2 or STS-A31H hearing loop driver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBS EN 55103-1:2009 EMC emissions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBS EN 55103-2:2009 EMC immunity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFCC Class B EMC emissions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhysical Data:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproximate wire length: 72 inches (6 feet), adjustable on-site to required shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWire diameter: 0.15 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 0.22 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: copper wire with black PVC protective covering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: black PVC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Contacta Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41706847469626,"sku":"IL-AE99","price":62.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1147\/6518\/files\/IL-AE99-1-509x340.jpg?v=1790625204","url":"https:\/\/www.safeandvaultstore.com\/products\/contacta-il-ae99-under-the-counter-hearing-loop-aerial","provider":"Safe and Vault Store.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
