During many years UniVox® FSM (1994) was the only true
FSM with RMS measurement (125ms) complying fully with the
IEC  standard on the market.

UniVox® now launches the next generation Field Strength Meter, FSM 2.0 controlled by a reprogrammable microprocessor (uP)
with an LCD-display. This gives an instrument with advanced functions, yet easy to use, not seen elsewhere.

FSM 2.0 has high-tech measurements like tracking filters; frequency multitone measurements; automatic range shifting; noise levels and spectrum analyzes, all controlled by the uP. It
is the first stand alone Field Strength Meter that fully complies
with the new IEC 60118-4 including noise measurement down to
-47dB(A).

Overspill measurement, far below background noise, is now for the first time possible on a stand alone instrument with the build-in tracking sharp filters.

Fast frequency measurement using advanced automatic multitone system (far superior to pink-noise) with direct dB readings at the LCD display.

All the measurements are in an intuitive step by step program making the full certificate handling easy.

For more details, please study the FSM 2.0 brochure.

The American news magazine Advance for Audiologists Magazine has recently published a column that we have written about induction loops.

The magazine targets everyone who works with audiology and hearing technology and is read by audiologists, doctors and industry employees. The article, sponsored by UniVox®, describes the different communication opportunities opening up to people with hearing aids that have correctly adjusted T-coils. The text clearly advocates induction loops and emphasizes the user friendly loop compared to FM and IR systems. Read the article here and be sure to send us any comments.

This article is one of several published recently in the US and the timing is well chosen. At the end of February HLAA (Hearing Loss Association of America) and AAA (American Academy of Audiology) launched a joint campaign called "Get in the Hearing Loop". You can read their press release here.

The campaign clearly advocates induction loops and emphasizes the user friendliness for the hearing aid user. That the largest user and professional organizations join forces with this common statement has led to some attention in the US and we look forward to many discussions during the AAA annual conference with the connected industry exhibition AudiologyNOW! in San Diego April 15-17.

UniVox® will of course be there and as always you are welcome to visit us in booth 1144.

For the fourth time UniVox will exhibit at AudiologyNOW!, the largest congress/trade show in the US aimed at audiologists and suppliers of hearing products.

The congress is arranged by AAA (American Academy of Audiology) and will take place in San Diego, California, as it did already once in 2001.

Last time the present partcipants record was set, so we hope for many visitors full of expectation, in spite of the current state of the market.

We are in booth 1144. Welcome!

For the first time UniVox will exhibit our professional products in one of the largest trade shows for professional light and sound technology in the world, prolight+sound in Frankfurt.

The exhibition is scheduled for March 24-27 and we will have a stand close to the stand of our new distributor for Germany and Austria, Audio Pro Heilbronn.

Please come visit us in hall 8.0, booth G28.

UniVox DLS-50 is the name of the new amplifer that replaces the retired UniVox 2A+.

It is a partly newly developed and powerfull amplifier for use in homes and in Across-the-counter systems. Design and functions are based on UniVox 2A+ but DLS-50 has several new features:

New dedicated super sensitive microphone input with input level control and indication LED, graded volume thumbwheel replacing the old potentiometer and all blue LED's in a new front panel.

Read more about DLS-50.

Finally it has arrived - DLS-30TV - specially developed for LCD and plasma screens that often add echo and delay effects to the sound in induction loops.

UniVox DLS-30TV is a redevelopment of our popular loop kit UniVox DLS-30. With the separate TV-sync control the sound from the TV is synchronized with the movements on the screen and the user avoids annoying echo effects.

Further enhancements in the new DLS-30TV include a volume thumbwheel with digits for easy finding of the right level, and two inputs for microphone/stereo/MP3 etc.

The DLS-30TV loop kit comes in two versions: Loop kit with Part No. 203040 includes loop pad and Part No. 203050 includes sofa loop.

The new UniVox AC/DC-100 is now available for professional installations of induction loops in elevators, buses, boats and other applications run by 12/24V DC.

The powerful amplifier supporting even larger areas (up to 150m2) can be connected to mains power (230V AC) and a battery power source (12-36V DC) simultaneously. In case of mains power failure the operation automatically switches to the DC power source.

The intelligent dual action AGC secures a smooth high quality sound and the powerful amplifier makes usage possible in environments with lots of metal without reduction of the speech perception.

Please contact us for advice on how to install induction loops in elevators, buses, boats and trains.

Bo Edin AB has reached an agreement with three wellknown companies to distribute the total UniVox range of induction loop amplifiers and assistive listening devices in Australia and New Zealand.

Phoenix Hearing Instruments in Queensland is our new partner in Australia and Reid Technology Ltd in Auckland and PAA Electronics in Christchurch will answer all your questions regarding the New Zealand market.

With Managing Director Conny Andersson as convener of the work group TC-29/MT-20, Bo EDIN AB has been deeply involved in the working process to create a new enhanced induction loop standard IEC 60118-4. The new standard is now realized and was unanimously approved September 1 2006 by the IEC members from all parts of the world. The new standard has yet to be adopted in every member country (adopted in Sweden by SIS March 1 2007). This means that the UniVox method using ITU artificial speech is now included in the new international standard for induction loops!

UniEar has been sold out and is now replaced with its modern counterpart - UniVox Listener.

The UniVox Listener has some new features:
- Modern, appealing design
- Round, ergonomic shape
- Tone control
- Better speaker sound
- Textile neck cord
- Lower price

UniVox Listener has got two LED's, one red LED telling if the unit is turned on and one blue LED allowing a control check for 200mA/m. Thus the Listener is most suitable as an easy-to-use testing device and loop receiver. It is never a substitute for a proper measuring device, such as the UniVox FSM. Read more.

The new version of DLS-30 has new features and a new name extension - Enviro Series.

Enviro Series is our way to focus on the fact that the new DLS-30 is the first of our amplifiers to comply with the RoHS directive. Enviro Series is going to be added as an extension - a sticker - on every new amplifier complying with the RoHS directive.

Additionally the new version has a mic/line input on the back side. This makes it possible to use a microphone as signal source, either a 13A microphone attached to the TV's speaker to pick up the correct TV sound or another kind of microphone for speech. The new input also makes it possible to connect a stereo or radio and alternate between watching TV or listening to music.

With the new DLS-30 Enviro Series a new sofa cable is launched. The sofa cable is 8 metres long and is connected to the amplifier with an extension cable (10 metres). This sofa cable is mounted under the sofa or under the carpet surrounding the sofa and allows several hearing aid users to pick up the sound from the loop at the same time. For example, imagine an elderly couple sitting next to each other in the sofa. It is also possible to sit in various positions in the sofa without moving the loop pad every time you move.

The DLS-30 Enviro Series comes in a new, modern looking box with text in several languages. More information is coming soon.

To make the task of rolling out the cable out of the dispenser in our portable loop case UniVox p-LooP a lot easier, we have changed the cable length in the dispenser from 50 to 35 metres. Additionally a 15 metres cable without dispenser is delivered. In most situations the 35 metres will cover your needs, but in some situations you have to use the amplifiers full capacity. In these situations use the extra 15 metres cable and join it together with the cable in the dispenser with 6,35mm plugs.

To get heard by all visitors in a group a guide has to talk quite loud and often gets a sore throat. It’s also hard to hear the information when groups pass by or get close to each other in the exhibition halls.

Guides and visitors gradually increase their sound level to be able to overcome noise from other groups. The guides hurt their vocal cords and many are away ill as a consequence of that.

Bo EDIN AB will now deliver a wireless RF System where the guide carries a transmitter with a microphone and all the visitors carry receivers. With this RF System the guide can speak in a normal level and the visitors can hear perfectly without having to crowd in front of the guide.

With this technique the guides save their vocal cords and another positive benefit is that the environment gets more pleasant for everyone. With a body pack receiver with headset, or a neck loop for a hearing aid user, the visitor can without inconvenience listen to the guide. With this RF System the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm now has solved a major problem with the work environment.

In September 2006 the first part, of three, of this RF System will be installed and in two years the whole system will be completed to satisfy all guides and visitors requirements.

UniVox CTC systems (Cross The Counter systems) are complete induction loop systems for installation in receptions, information desks, supermarket cashiers and ticket booths. All systems include induction loop amplifier, microphone and loop pad.

Two different amplifiers covers every need from small, wooden desks to receptions made of metal. The reliable and powerful amplifiers, equipped with a modern and intelligent AGC function, supplies excellent speech perception in any situation.
