The BIA (Beltpack IFB Amplifier), battery-powered belt-pack unit, allows either loudspeaker or headphone monitoring of a communication or audio feed, and is typically used with a presenter's earpiece as part of an IFB kit.
Standard Features
• Selectable limiter: prevents clipping distortion and damage to
hearing with earpieces & headphone types
• Built-in 0.5W loudspeaker & amplifier (power to the amplifier is
cut when headphones are connected)
• Loop-through male & female XLR connectors enable several units to
be driven from a single feed.
• Headphone output on “A” gauge 6.35mm jack.
• Very low battery consumption.
• Low battery voltage indicator.
Description
The input gain is controlled by a potentiometer, a 0/20dB gain
switch and a selectable limiter. The limiter can be used to ensure a
safe listening level over a wide range of input signal levels and
also improves signal intelligibility by preventing clipping of the
output signal as the battery discharges. The balanced output stage of the headphone amplifier drives
earpieces and headphone, having either mono or stereo jack plugs, with
connections to the tip and ring only .
Although this cause headphones to driven in anti-phase, intelligibility of speak
is unaffected, and the higher impedances of the series connection ensures the
most efficient impedance match to the output stage.
BIA
is compatible with similar apparatuses of other brands in commerce.
