IMPROVED INTELLIGIBILITY

Ideal for hospital applications, the CAD Audio Astatic 210 is a miniature-boundary microphone with an output level variable from -50dBv (3.2mV) to - 10.5dBV (300mV). The internal audio limiter circuitry tames high sound pressure levels and improves intelligibility by protecting the audio signal from distorting sensitive recording circuitry. The integrated volume control is located on the side of the microphone and is protected from tampering when the microphone is installed. Visit cadaudio.com/astatic.

ENHANCED FUNCTIONALITY
The Hall Research U97-ULTRA is an All-in-One UTP Console Extender. It sends dual-screen video, stereo audio, Alarms, keyboard, mouse, touch screen, RS-232, and up to three independent USB ports from a PC to a remote location 450 feet away over standard CATx twistedpair cables. Local outputs for the A/V signals and USB ports are provided on the sender so that the system can be accessed automatically from two locations. The remote receiver unit provides digitally controlled high-frequency compensation and RGB skew correction for both video channels and features line-level, as well as amplified audio outputs for driving passive speakers directly.

WALL PANELS AND SOUND TREATMENTS

A main criteria for ceiling or wall treatments in hospitals is that they must not be porous, or open to substrate. This makes the Sonora wall panels and baffles by Acoustics First well-suited for healthcare AV. Sonora’s high-density glass fiber panels are covered with an acoustically transparent fabric, available in 48 colors, with chemically hardened edges. Visit acousticsfirst.com.
