The new redesigned ILA-450 is a loop amplifier as professional solution for the installation to loop amplifiers.
The ILA-450 loop amplifier for audio transmission is used extensively to supply hearing devices by inductive
audio signals.
The ILA-450 Phoenix induction loop amplifier has been developed as a high quality LOOP-amplifier for
medium induction loops.
The system is characterized particularly easy installation, customer-oriented operation and easy use of the
device at optimum performance.
Induction loop amplifiers are very often used in churches, cinemas, theaters, sales agencies, counters,
interpreter systems or DRIVE IN / DRIVE-THROUGH, so that hearing aid users under difficult acoustic
conditions (background noises, reverberation etc.) can hear much better without disturbing noises.
Advantages of the system:
By the inductive coupling of hearing devices the wanted signal (audio transmission) can be heard much
better without disturbing noises. By the transmission of an audio signal via the induction loop an acceptable
wanted signal/interference signal ratio is reached.
Useful information:
A purely acoustic, direct sound transmission (between speaker and hearing device) by reverberation and
background noises significantly deteriorates the perception of the wanted signal by the hearing device wearer.
Receiver ILA-E:
With the induction loop receiver ILA-E a loop system can be checked or maintained easily, fast and uncom-
plicated.
The device is especially suitable for responsible staff wherever the induction transmission is installed, or for
people who need a high quality „wireless“ hearing device without hearing aid, f.i. with channel interpreter
systems.
Planning of the loop design:
Not in every place where it would be desirable, acceptable resp. good conditions for installing the induction
loop can be found. Therefore in the planning phase it is necessary to examine a suggested place regarding
the following conditions:
- The magnetic interference fields of electric systems, f.i. heating systems in the floor or the roof area and
the electronic controls of lighting systems (particularly in cinemas, theaters etc.)
- The influence of magnetical or electrically conducting materials in the building structure, particularly in the
place where the loop shall be installed.
- The presence of further induction loops in the neighbourhood, which signals could interfere the planned
loops.

Unfortunately it is still common practise to assemble the 100 V power amplifiers with the additional audio
transformer.
Such systems are generally inaccurate as they show a disadvantageous frequency response. Such a system
configuration can increase the inductance with increasing frequency, so the high frequencies which are
important for the speech intelligibility cannot be radiated anymore.
Induction loop amplifiers do not have this disadvantage, therefore they are ideal to produce a constant field
strength by the use of dynamics processors and a special amplifier technology (constant current source).
Control
All important functions of the induction loop amplifier are controlled.
That means the ILA-450 induction loop amplifier controls its internal power amplifier, the functional effici-
ency of the connected induction loop with a pilot-tone pulse. Should a controlled function fail, the yellow
LED at the front side of the induction loop amplifier does not light and the fault contact „INFO LOOP OK“
[15VDC] will be currentless.
Compatibility according to EN 60118-4:
The most important feature with the redesign was the system compatibility to the standard EN 60118-4, so
a loop assembly based upon a „LOOP-SEGMENT“ system is possible.
In a „LOOP-SEGMENT“ system always two ILA-450 which form a magnetic field work together, thereby
on the entire area always a constant field strength of the magnetic field is reached.
The magnetic field outside the intended area quickly loses strength and drops to ZERO. This is done by
coupling a phase shift FS-1 which is connected between both ILA-450, which in turn produces a signal
phase difference of 90 degrees in the electric current by two adjoining induction loops.
Further instructions for loop installation by using a phase shifter FS-1 are described detailed in the further
chapter.

TECHNICAL APPENDIX
To supply a perfect sound signal also to the users of hearing devices, so-called induction loops are installed.
Herewith the signal is transmitted inductively by a loop passed in the middle of the room into a receiver coil
which is located in the hearing device.
The induction loop has to be passed in a way that it encloses the intended area. The impedance of the loop
is approximately equal to the DC resistance.
When installing the loop into concrete, protective PVC pipe has to be used, IN NO CASE STEEL PIPE.
With difficult structural conditions prior to that a test loop has to be constructed and the supply has to be
checked.
INDICATION:
Directly above the loop wires the reception is worst, as there the flux lines run horizontally.

Please pass parallel lines close together
A much better result (constant field strength) than with single loops is achieved by installing „LOOP-
SEGMENT“ loops. The individual segments have to be of the same size, the distances should be between
2 meters and 5 meters. Examples of use: row of seats in theaters, churchs, schools etc.
IMPORTANT:
Disadvantage of the LOOP-SEGMENT loop without phase shifter is:
Wherever two loop lines run parallel, the field strength is „0“! The area of the „0“-field strength can be
between some centimeters up to one meter.
IMPORTANT:
Rooms and areas where an induction loop is installed, should be marked accordingly.

13.
The best result (constant field strength) is reached by installation of „DOUBLE LOOP SEGMENT“ with phase
shift. Compatibility according to EN 60118-4.
Such double LOOP SEGMENT induction loops are advisable for large areas and at high influence to the
induction field by metallic objects located in concrete (walls and floors).
Examples of use: big churches, exhibition halls, stations, schools etc.
As the installation of the double LOOP-SEGMENT induction loop takes a lot of time and effort, this kind
of induction loops is usually only possible for new constructions or general refurbishment of the buildings.
Advantage of the double LOOP-SEGMENT induction loop is the up to 4-fold lower loss of the induction
field (low power - large area).
For double LOOP-SEGMENT induction loops the audio signal is connected to the first ILA-450 LOOP
amplifier, which in turn supplies the first loop in the system.
By the phase modulation the audio signal is shifted by 90
o
phases and routed to the second ILA-450, then
the second ILA-450 has to supply the second parallel induction loop in the complete system.
All LOOP segments should have the same size and should not excess areas of 2 up to 5 meters.
Compatibility according to EN 60118-4
In a „LOOP-SEGMENT“ system always two ILA-450 work together, they form a magnetic field, thus on the
complete area always a constant field strength of the magnetic field is reached.
The magnetic field outside the intended area loses quite rapidly strength and drops to ZERO. This is done
by coupling a phase shifter FS-1 which is switched between the two ILA-450, this again produces a signal
phase difference of 90 degrees in the electrical flow by two adjoining induction loops.

By the phase modulation the audio signal is shifted by 90

The first ILA-450 supplies the first parallel induction loop in the complete inductive hearing system.
