Univox

If you have a hearing impairment, then audio loops can increase your quality of life, in the home as well as in public spaces. You can have an audio loop installed at home so you don't have to turn the TV volume way up. The Vision team refer to this system as a sofa loop, as we'll often install it under your sofa or chair to connect to your hearing aid and amplify sound.

Univox is a leading company from the UK that has been designing Assistive Listening Systems since 1965. Their systems are designed to comply with New Zealand building codes of practice. Our team here at Vision use Univox products for home installations like a sofa loop, as well as large area loop systems in a church or auditorium. Univox also make specialist systems for more secure listening in situations like courtrooms or the boardroom. 

Our Project Manager Kevin Moylan says: "We want everyone to have the same high quality audio experience, whether they are hearing impaired or not. In a dream scenario, I would match the Univox amplifier and software to a Bosch PLE 2MA240 public address amplifier, driving Bosch LB20-PC60-8 speakers. To bring it together, the Soundweb BSS Blu digital Sound Processor would keep the Mipro ACT311B-BP-6 radio microphones working at their best for the room acoustics. And to integrate any visuals, we could then match all of this with an Epson EB-L610U laser projector and Grandview GV-GRIPRC120H motorized screen."

In addition to fitting new assistive listening systems, our Project Manager Kevin Moylan is a registered IQP (Independent Qualified Person) and licensed to test, inspect and maintain SS12 systems including audio loops and other assistive listening systems in any building requiring a BWoF.
