HLS-DM2 Hearing Loop Driver

The HLS-DM2 uses efficient class D current drive technology to reduce power consumption and heat output. It is the only small area induction loop driver capable of reliably driving most practical local area loops to meet the IEC60118-4 Standard even where available power or allowable heat is limited, e.g. connecting to equipment that uses PoE or in plastic enclosures.

The transformer isolated balanced input allows simple connection to all intercoms, help points and kiosk systems, making the HLS-DM2 the obvious choice for any quality intercom system.

HLS-DM2 OEM Compact Induction Loop Amplifier for Integration applications include:

  • Intercom systems for most environments:
    • Lifts / elevators
    • Help & information points
    • Refuge points
    • Door entry systems
    • Car parks & toll booths
    • Security barriers & drive throughs
    • Information points & kiosks
    • Interactive exhibits

Power supply and consumption:

  • 12-24V DC: Typical local DC supply inside equipment where another supply is already present.

Whilst the HLS-DM2 draws less than 2.9W @ 12V DC with typical signals, you should still check that any existing supply has enough spare capacity.

The video below is an example of the audio experience for a hearing aid user at a help point with an integrated HLS-DM2.
