Description
The C-TEC PDA7/DW wall-mounting hearing loop amplifier delivers powerful assistive listening coverage for spaces up to 500m². Designed for fixed installations in large rooms, halls, or public areas, it features dual 5A Class D outputs for energy-efficient phase-array loop operation and superior sound quality.
A user-friendly LED interface allows quick setup of input levels, phantom power, output current, and metal compensation. With 1 XLR microphone input, 1 XLR line input, and an Outreach connector, this unit offers extensive connectivity to support various audio sources.
Engineered with high-grade audio processing and a powerful CPU, the PDA7/DW delivers crisp, lifelike sound. Its dual-action automatic gain control ensures consistent performance, even with poor mic technique or fluctuating input levels. The anti-tamper lock prevents unauthorised changes, while clear fault and status LEDs keep diagnostics simple.
Ideal for use in compliance with hearing accessibility standards, it also includes a line-level output for recording or daisy-chaining multiple units—making it a scalable solution for inclusive sound reinforcement.
