Comtek AT-216 Auditory Assistance Kit

How it Works

The AT-216 system functions as a remote microphone for the user, overcoming listening challenges for those with impaired hearing: high levels of background noise, reverberation effects, and distance between the speaker and listener. In addition to hearing aids with a telecoil, the listener wears the personal receiver and neck loop. The speaker wears the M-216 transmitter. The PR-216 personal receiver picks up the voice of the person wearing the M-216 transmitter, and the neck loop then retransmits it to the hearing aids for clean, close-up sound. If hearing aids are not used, the receiver may also be used with headphones. Now the person with impaired hearing has a direct link to the speaker at greater distances for improved listening, clarity, and better understanding

Comtek’s Enviro-Mic

The PR-216 receiver with a plug-in environmental microphone enhances speech discrimination when both environmental sounds and the speaker’s voice from the transmitter must be heard together

Rugged Enclosure

The AT-216 system features packaging designed to hold up to the rigors of everyday use. Whether at school, work, or play, the COMTEK AT-216 gives you the assurance that you will hear well in virtually any situation. Packing Features Include:

• Easy fit, the snap-on clip allows users to simply clip on the transmitter or receiver to a pocket or belt

Comtek Design

• The AT-216 system not only works on the standard channels (1-40) in the 216 MHz band maintaining compatibility with other brands but also works with the high dynamic range companded channels (41-60) for high fidelity sound reproduction rendering greater speech intelligibility
• The AT-216 system has power conservation circuitry which allows a nine-volt battery to be used with efficiency. Plus it makes possible the highest audio output level, ensuring the effective and efficient use of the “T” coil neck loop system
• The M-216 transmitter has a versatile auxiliary audio input. It can transmit audio programs from tape, CD players, TV, VCRs, or any audio device which has an auxiliary or line-level audio output jack. What’s more, when using the auxiliary audio input, the microphone may also be used to mix voice with the program information for special effects. The M-216’s multifunction capability also allows it to be used with compatible telephones and conference table microphones

Also Available with Smart-Mic

Comtek’s Smart-Mic – The Smart-Mic for the PR-216 receiver optimizes the performance of the AT-216 wireless auditory assistance system in a classroom environment. When the teacher begins to speak through the M-216 transmitter, the PR-216 receiver’s Smart-Mic automatically prioritizes the teacher’s voice over environmental sounds. When the teacher is not speaking, the Smart-Mic immediately activates the environmental microphone on the PR-216 receiver to allow fellow students’ comments and questions to be heard
