It covers up to 20m² on a 1:1 perimeter loop and is the standard specification for reception desks, ticket windows, pharmacy counters and information points where a full room loop is not required. The supplied counter loop pad and microphone make it a complete single-position assistive listening solution. AGC optimised for speech keeps output consistent as the person at the counter moves relative to the microphone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCounter loops solve a specific accessibility problem: a hearing aid user at a service position needs a clear feed of the staff member's voice, and the ambient noise of a public space makes that difficult. The CLD1 drives a small loop at the counter so the audio goes directly to the telecoil in the user's hearing aid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/7982\/4364\/files\/CLD1-front-panel_f47dcc7e-fa8b-4525-95d8-3a7dca23783c.png?v=1787627481\" alt=\"Listen Technologies CLD001PD CLD1 compact induction loop driver front panel\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis variant ships with desktop microphone and counter loop pad. The counter loop pad is the radiating element; a counter loop pad sits flat under or on the counter surface, while a loop coil is run around the service position. Coverage is 20m² at a 1:1 aspect ratio, extending to 30m² at 2:1 and 35m² at 3:1, so the shape of the loop matters as much as its area. Drive current is 2.4Arms into a loop of 0.3Ω to 1.0Ω resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe audio system covers 80Hz to 6.3kHz ±1.5dB with better than 36dB dynamic range, and metal loss correction is adjustable from 0 to 4.5dB per octave to compensate for steel in the counter or floor structure. Two inputs are provided: a dedicated microphone input on 3.5mm jack, and a second input switchable between line and microphone level, which is useful where a counter also carries an intercom or a screen with audio.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlternative microphone and loop element combinations are available across the CLD1 range if this pairing does not suit the counter layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs with any hearing loop, the installed system is verified by measuring field strength against IEC 60118-4 rather than by listening.

cover?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nUp to 20m² on a 1:1 perimeter loop, 30m² at 2:1 and 35m² at 3:1. Loop shape affects coverage as much as area, so confirm the geometry of the service position before specifying.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included in this configuration?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis part number ships with desktop microphone and counter loop pad. Other CLD1 configurations pair different microphones and loop elements; the driver itself is common across the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it need a separate power supply?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe standard CLD1 runs from a 12V DC supply at 1.0A maximum. A CLD1-AC variant with an integral 100-240V AC supply is produced where a local mains connection is preferred.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it take a second audio source as well as the microphone?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes.
