Introduction Thank you for choosing the Adastra LA600 induction loop amplifier for your assisted hearing installation. This unit is designed to offer high quality, dependable service for areas up to 600m². Please read this manual fully and follow the instructions to achieve the best results with your new purchase and to avoid damage through misuse.
Installation The LA600 loop amplifier can be operated free-standing or fitted into a standard 19” rack cabinet using the supplied rack ears. Ensure that theLA600 is positioned on a stable surface with adequate cooling ventilation. There are 3 input channels which can accept inputs via balanced XLR or 6.3mm jack connection (14) or unbalanced RCA connection(15).

It is recommended to use good quality insulated pure copper cable for the induction loop. The cable gauge used will need to be determined by the total length of the cable run. The LA-600 is designed to operate with a load of between 0.2Ω and 2Ω. The following equation can be used to calculate the total cable resistance, which will show if the gauge is correct.

Cancellation Loops If there are areas adjacent to the loop where the magnetic field would cause problems, it is possible to avoid this by use of a “cancellation loop”, which is a narrow loop parallel to the main loop at the problem area. This loop is the opposite polarity to the main loop and causes the magnetic field to narrow along the adjacent edge of the main loop to control the spill of the loop field.
Operation The front panel controls on the LA-600 loop amplifier are recessed and can be adjusted using a flat blade screwdriver. This is to avoid tampering or mal-adjustment after the correct settings have been applied. Where new or unsupervised operators are making adjustments to equipment in the venue, they may not be aware if they have adjusted the induction loop settings unless they themselves are a hearing aid user.
