Listen Tech C-Series Multiloop Driver 14A 120v/230 w/Dante - C14-2D

Product Overview

The Listen Technologies C14-2D is a C-Series multiloop hearing loop driver delivering 14 A RMS / 48 V RMS — the most potent hearing loop driver in the C-Series — with a Dante audio input. The higher output voltage drives more current, making it suited to areas of high metal loss and to large-venue installations where the driver sits far from the loop. As a 1U networked loop driver, it is designed for permanent commercial assistive-listening loop systems.

Product Description

The C14-2D combines high output with precise control for demanding induction-loop installations. A simple digital interface allows accurate adjustment, and the unit operates as a networked or stand-alone device. Networking adds a browser interface for remote reporting, adjustment, active status monitoring, and fault reporting via email or Telnet, which helps integrators manage loops across multiple rooms or sites. Dual outputs provide an accurate, stable 90° phase shift for multiloop array designs, and built-in test tones plus clear diagnostics speed commissioning. The driver is optimized for speech intelligibility while remaining capable of high-quality musical reproduction, and its data output is compliant with the IEC 62489-1 standard. A compact 1U rack-mount chassis with an internal power supply, industry-standard Phoenix connectors, and a Dante input make it straightforward to integrate into a commercial AV rack.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I choose the C14-2D over a lower-output C-Series driver?
Its 14 A RMS / 48 V RMS output is intended for areas of high metal loss and large venues, or where the driver must sit far from the loop and needs extra current to maintain field strength.

How does the Dante version differ?
The C14-2D adds a Dante audio input for networked audio routing, in addition to the 100 V line input, making it a fit for AV systems already running Dante.

Can the driver be monitored remotely?
Yes. When networked, a browser interface provides remote reporting, adjustment, active status monitoring, and fault reporting via email or Telnet.

Does it meet hearing-loop standards?
Its data is compliant with the IEC 62489-1 standard, the international performance standard for induction-loop systems.

Is it a single-loop or multiloop driver?
It is a multiloop driver with dual outputs and an accurate 90° phase shift, suited to phased-array loop designs that reduce spill and overspill.
