PA5 POWERPORTABLE VOICE AMPLIFIER


The Xena range of amplifiers are high qualityproducts designed especially to meet the needs of those individuals with weak or whisper voices.

Extensive tests have shown that the soundreproduction by the amplifier is very close to that of a natural voice.This is especially important for aperson with a very weak voice.

LIGHTWEIGHT

• Xena Amplifiers are simple to use, lightweight and small.The small amplifier incorporates a leather effect carrying pouch - as well as a belt/pocket clip for attachment.

• For many people the microphone works best when positioned to the side of the mouth - but virtually touching the lips.

DISCREET HEADSET

• This ensures correct positioning of the microphone.

• Correct positioning provides excellent sound amplification, not achieved by many other systems.

• The headframe is ultra lightweight which makes the unit readily acceptable.

MORE AMPLIFICATION WHEN YOU NEED IT

• If a higher sound level is required the larger Midi Amplifier, 2.0 Watt with built in speaker, is of great value, especially when addressing large audiences or talking to people who have hearing difficulties.

• Xena Amplifiers provide the versatility in a sound system which people are now demanding - high quality amplification, optional no hands freedom and portability. See page 8 for order details.

Effective amplification inclassroom, lecture theatre,office - or in the home

With the Flexital wirelesshands free portablepersonal amplificationsystem, Kapitex canprovide the latesttechnology in anamplification system, whichallows people with weak orwhisper voice to easilyproject their voice withcomfort and confidence toaudiences large or small.

•The Flexital is designed tobe completely portable andensures free unattachedmovement around theclassroom, lecture theatre,

office or home.The flexital is a wireless system comprisingof radio transmitter, receiver/amplifier, and a choice ofmicrophones.

The headset microphone can also be attached to spectaclesbows which makes for a less conspicuous attachment.

HOW FLEXITAL WORKS

• Sound enters the microphone attached to the transmitter - the transmitter sends radio wave signals to the receiver where the radio waves are converted into speech and amplified into audible sounds.

• The headset microphone will give the best overall results.The microphone is always close to the mouth - and will move with the head ensuring parallel contact with the voice.

CLIP-ON CLOTHING MICROPHONE

• This microphone will pick up sound, however, the volumeon the receiver has to be on a high level to attain acceptable sound.This means that use in a relatively smallarea will not be recommended - as there would be a feedback noise situation.

TRANSMITTER MICROPHONE

• The transmitter microphone simply fits into the transmitter. Careful placement of the transmitter (which can be attached with the neck straps) will be required - as with the clothing microphone a high level of volume will be needed.

• Flexital from Kapitex gives you the power to communicate in a variety of environments

• An effective answer to the problem of weak or whisper voice

• See page 8 for order details
