Hearing loop at Yehudi Menuhin School

Summary

A manufacturer describes fitting loops to two seating levels in a school’s 300-seat performance hall.

Key findings

• The opening description identifies a 300-seat hall where the school wanted its upper-seating loop replaced and ground-floor coverage added. The hall also hosts public hire events.
• Contacta reports choosing perimeter loops because repeated cuts for a ground-floor array risked damaging the wooden interior. Greater metal loss upstairs and differing loop sizes required different currents.
• The account describes concealed cabling and a dual-output driver, but supplies no field-strength map or audience test results.
