Understanding Zoom Technology Advantages

Complete freedom of movement, in many situations.

Wide-Angle:

The Wide-Angle function on the HandyMic picks up sounds from all directions. It is ideal for quiet rooms or meetings and discussions with a small number of participants. With a small number of people, the HandyMic can simply be placed in the middle of the group. The voices are picked up from there and transmitted to the user's hearing instruments. This enables the hearing impaired participant to understand what is said and take an active role in the discussion.

Zoom

The Zoom Function effectively suppresses ambient noise and enables the user to concentrate on two or three speakers. In louder surroundings at home or at parties, MicroLink enables understanding of several people. In situations like this, the user holds the HandyMic in his or her hand and points it in the direction of the person speaking.

Super-Zoom

The Super-Zoom function is suitable for very noisy surroundings. It focuses on a single speaker and only has or her voice is transmitted clearly. When the user wishes to concentrate on one person in particular, the answer is to select Super-Zoom and direct the HandyMic towards the speaker. Despite very high levels of ambient noise, the listener can understand the speaker. Interfering background noise such as in restaurants and in traffic, or even wind noise while outdoors, if effectively suppressed. Another possibility is offered by the "partner method." Here, the speaker holds the HandyMic or simply places it into a shirt pocket.

Audio Input

The audio cable supplied as standard, connects the HandyMic directly to all sound systems such as radios, TV's or telephones. Thanks to MicroLink, people with hearing impairment can enjoy TV and radio programs at normal volume. The HandyMic is simply placed near the loudspeaker or connected to the radio or TV set using the audio cable. The same advantages apply to telephone calls. If the telephone has a jack for a headset, the audio cable can be used to connect the telephone to the HandyMic for problem-free understanding.
