Signet, a specialist UK manufacturer based in the North East of England, has established itself as a leading provider of audio-frequency induction loop (hearing loop) systems. Committed to British manufacturing, the company offers one of the widest ranges of assistive hearing solutions designed to improve communication for people with hearing loss and help venues meet Equality Act accessibility requirements.
The Signet Induction Loop range at Commercial Audio Solutions covers everything from compact counter systems to large-area amplifiers. Counter and portable loop kits are ideal for reception desks, ticket offices, banks, post offices and small meeting rooms, delivering clear speech in one-to-one conversations. Vehicle loop systems provide similar benefits in taxis, minibuses and coaches.
For fixed installations, wall-mounted and free-standing amplifiers are available to suit rooms of varying sizes, from small offices and waiting areas up to large lecture theatres, places of worship and open-plan spaces covering several hundred square metres. Specialist kits are also offered for classrooms, seminar rooms, churches, lifts and intercom or help-point applications. Many amplifiers feature metal compensation controls and multiple input options, ensuring reliable performance even in modern buildings with high metal content.
These systems work by transmitting audio via a magnetic field that is picked up by hearing aids and cochlear implants fitted with a telecoil (T-coil), cutting out background noise and delivering clear, intelligible sound directly to the user. Supporting accessories such as microphones, outreach plates, loop cable and clear signage complete a professional installation.
Whether you need a simple counter loop or a comprehensive multi-room system, Signet induction loop equipment offers a practical, cost-effective way to improve accessibility. Here at Commercial Audio Solutions, we can provide expert guidance to help you choose the right solution for your project.
