Perimeter Loops – Area Coverage (maximum)

Capable of driving the largest practical perimeter loops – theoretical area coverage >1000m2 for square areas, >1300m2 for rectangular areas, though the practical limit may be set by the installation environment. Ampetronic design tools and support are available to check the expected performance for your application.

Combined systems for very large areas

Multiple ILD1000G amplifiers can be combined using Ampetronic ILC Parallel DriveTM technology to drive systems in excess of 4000m2
Contact Ampetronic support for details.

Maximum Cable Length

The ILD1000G is designed for SINGLE TURN loops for optimum audio quality.
For loops with DC resistance from 0.5 to 3.0Ω , impedance to 3.5Ω
Maximum cable length is dependent on cable type and on the application:

Cable type Maximum Cable Length (m)
Normal Use* Transient Speech*
1.0mm2 copper 132 153
2.5mm2 copper 181 230
4.0mm2 copper 188 246
1.8mm2 flat copper tape 233 271

 

* Short term speech (e.g. service counter, airport PA system) can cope with limited clipping at high frequencies – Ampetronic recommends delivery of full current up to 1.2kHz for these applications.
Longer term usage or signals with music or high quality audio must deliver full current to at least 1.6kHz to prevent fatigue and give acceptable intelligibility. Many commercially available systems do not deliver sufficient voltage to reproduce critical high frequencies – ask us for more details.

Standards

Standards compliance

The ILD1000G is CE marked to all relevant safety and EMC standards.
All Ampetronic amplifiers can be used to create a system that meets the requirements of IEC118-4 and the relevant recommendation of BS7594, however the design and installation of the system is equally important to meet these Induction Loop Standards.
Some Ampetronic products are CSA registered for sale in the USA and Canada – contact Ampetronic for details.

ILD1000G Professional rack mountable loop driver

The ILD1000G sets the standard for high performance professional perimeter induction loop systems. Utilising a new amplification technology, the ILD1000G provides the highest power output available in a single channel amplifier, while halving power consumption and heat dissipation.

It features ample power to drive the largest perimeter loops to over 1300m2, and high voltage headroom to ensure high quality audio output even in the longest cable runs. All of this power and performance is packaged in an elegant and space efficient 19”1U case.

The ILD1000G is also designed for versatility, with 3 configurable inputs to cope with any scenario, usable freestanding, wall mounted or rack mounted with the included brackets. The ILD1000G is built to our exacting standards and is backed by our 5 year warranty.

Applications include

  • Conference facilities
  • Large places of worship
  • Theatres
  • Sports halls
  • Lecture halls
  • Cinemas

Equipment supplied as standard with the ILD1000G

  • Handbook and installation instructions
  • 197 x 252mm loop system present sign (deaf logo)
  • Region specific mains cable
  • Loop connector
  • Rack mount brackets
  • Status Connector

Comparing the Ampetronic C-series vs ILD Range of Amplifiers

The Ampetronic C-series hearing loop drivers mark a substantial development in assistive listening technology. Each of the new drivers in the range offers key advantages over the previous ILD series:

• Class ‘D’ drivers in the C Series ensure minimal energy loss to heat, which in turn reduces running costs, extends product life, significantly reduces carbon footprint, and protects your investment.
• For example, over a year when using a C7-2 you could potentially use one fifth of the power required by an MLD7.
• The combination of a DSP and Class ‘D’ output stage has allowed us to achieve a frequency range beyond that mandated in the IEC60118-4 standard. This means that the end user can expect
better reproduction of high-frequency content when compared to that of an analogue hearing loop driver.
• “Standby” mode allows for reduced power consumption when the system is not in use, with advanced audio detection allowing the amplifier to jump back into action delivering signal when needed.
• Simple digital interface for accurate setup and adjustment, with advanced metal loss control for flat response, ensuring IEC60118-4 standard compliance across the full area.
• Network connectivity for remote reporting, commissioning, and adjustment.
• DANTE enabled versions available.

Each amplifier in the ILD range has an equivalent C-series driver, here are some quick comparisons:

ILD Range C-Series Equivalent
ILD300 C5-1
ILD252 C7-1
ILD500
ILD9 C10-1
ILD1000G
