Temporary Hearing Loops

Temporary hearing loops are versatile and work well for events, conferences, exhibit halls, meals, and demonstrations.

When possible, it’s good to tape all wires that have traffic to prevent tripping.

They can be installed in both small and large areas. Below are examples of both.

Large and Medium Rooms

These hearing loops usually require a professional installer to design and install a temporary hearing loop that is connected to the room’s PA system.
