Description
Ampetronic CLD1 Compact Loop Driver No Mic No Loop.
The CLD1 Compact Loop Driver is designed for counter systems and small area perimeter loop systems. Measuring only 128 x 74 x 35mm and with an output current of 2.4A RMS, the CLD1 is the smallest and highest performance amplifier in its class. Designed and built to Ampetronic’s high standards of reliability, backed with a 5 year warranty and Ampetronic support, the CLD1 offers certainty of performance and the lowest lifetime cost available.
Audio quality is ensured with metal loss correction (MLC) combined with Ampetronic’s usual high standards of design. The Ampetronic CLD1 is designed for flexibility and convenience, featuring 2 separate microphone inputs with independent level controls, one of which can be configured as a line input.
All cable connections are made on a single face of the unit, adding flexibility and further simplifying installation.
The loop should be mounted vertically in accordance with the installation instructions. Other installation methods are also available. The CLD1 in this application will project a field to the requirements of IEC60118-4 approximately 1m from the preformed loop.
The Ampetronic CLD1 compact loop driver can be ordered as a stand alone loop driver or as part of a kit for a specific application.
Applications Include:
-
- Ticket and service counters
- Retail counters
- Information kiosks
- Reception desks
- Interview rooms
- Small meeting rooms
- Taxis and private cars
