Overview
The C Series hearing loop drivers from Ampetronic mark a substantial development in assistive listening technology. Compact, elegant, and sturdy, C Series units feature digital signal processing and networking functionality. The drivers feature a simple digital user interface, enabling accurate adjustment and providing clear indicators, system diagnostics, and built-in test tones. C Series drivers are fully networkable with a Wi-Fi accessible standard browser-based control panel for remote set-up, monitoring, and email alerts.
The C5-1N features 5 Amps RMS current loop output, plus ample voltage headroom, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. Fast, accurate installation can be performed with total confidence; unique, multi-stage filtering ensures compatibility with other systems and global EMC regulations.

Audio System
|
| Frequency Response |
80Hz to 6.5kHz |
| Distortion |
THD+N <0.3% 1kHz sine at full current |
| Automatic Gain Control |
The AGC is optimised for speech. Dynamic range >36dB |
| Metal Loss Correction |
Corrects system frequency response issues due to metal structures in a building. Gain constant at 1kHz, adjustable gain slope from 0 to 4dB per octave in 0.25dB increments. Custom 2 slope MLC allows different slopes and transition frequency to be set via the menu (network models only). This does not compensate for signal loss from metal structures which can be significant. |
| Phase Shift |
User selectable (web only) at 0° or 90° between outputs |
