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. This configuration is the driver only, for installers specifying their own microphone and loop element. 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_7d959b18-26f7-4adb-9f60-573d0f72e65f.png?v=1787627481\" alt=\"Listen Technologies CLD001XX CLD1 compact induction loop driver front panel\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis variant ships with no microphone or loop element. Because no microphone or loop element is included, specify both separately to suit the installation. 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\u003eMicrophone options include a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/listen-technologies-acdtmic-desktop-gooseneck-microphone\"\u003edesktop gooseneck microphone\u003c\/a\u003e, a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/listen-technologies-acbmic-boundary-microphone\"\u003eboundary microphone\u003c\/a\u003e for flush counter mounting, and a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/listen-technologies-gc00005-tie-clip-mic-em-1-2-microphone\"\u003etie clip microphone\u003c\/a\u003e where the staff member moves.

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 no microphone or loop element. 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.
