ILD300 optional accessories
Ashton Audio can supply an extensive range of additional accessories for installation – discuss your requirements with our sales team and we will provide materials and equipment to suit your application.| Input adaptors | A range of input adaptors and interface cables to accept most audio source inputs, see table below |
| Installation Accessories | • 18mm x 0.25mm copper tape • PVC extrusion to protect copper tape • Installation / warning tape to fix cable or tape to a floor |
| Wall mount brackets | WML1-U |
| Rack mount brackets | RM-1U |
| Phase shifter | SP5 for an array system requires a design which can be provided by Ampetronic |
Input adaptors and preamplifiers
By using the appropriate input adaptor or preamplifier the ILD300 will accept multiple additional inputs or audio inputsfrom other sources:
| Input type | Adaptor |
| Additional microphone and / or line inputs | MP221 preamps can drive up to 2 mics + 2 line inputs |
| 100V line input Low impedance speaker line Line Level | ATT-UJ & ATT-UX transformer isolated attenuators |
| Unbalanced microphones | MAT1 adaptor |
Standards compliance
The ILD300 is CE marked to all relevant safety and EMC standards.
All Ampetronic amplifiers can be used to create a system that meets the requirements of IEC118-4 and the relevant recommendation of BS7594, however the design and installation of the system is equally important to meet these Induction Loop standards.

Perimeter Loops – Area Coverage (maximum)
| Room aspect ratio | 1:1 | 2:1 | 3:1 |
| Maximum area m2 | 250 | 310 | 420 |
- Loop must be 1-2m above or below the receiver height
- There should be no metal structures in the plane of the loop
- Sufficient voltage to drive the loop – check the cable table below
Maximum Cable Length
The ILD300 is designed for SINGLE TURN loops for optimum audio quality.- Loops with DC resistance from 0.2 to 1.2Ω
- Impedance up to a maximum of 1.3Ω
| Cable type | Maximum Cable Length (m) | |
| Normal Use* | Transient Speech* | |
| 1.0mm2 copper | 49 | 57 |
| 2.5mm2 copper | 67 | 85 |
| 4.0mm2 copper | 70 | 91 |
| 1.8mm2 flat copper tape | 87 | 101 |
* Short term speech (e.g. service counter, airport PA system) can cope with limited clipping at high frequencies – Ampetronic recommends delivery of full current up to 1.2kHz for these applications.
Longer term usage or signals with music or high quality audio must deliver full current to at least 1.6kHz to prevent fatigue and give acceptable intelligibility. Many commercially available systems do not deliver sufficient voltage to reproduce critical high frequencies – ask us for more details.

ILD300 Specifications
INPUTS
| Power | 35 W 230 V AC nominal, 45-65 Hz [120 V option available] Power switch and LED indicator on front panel |
| Microphone input | XLR balanced microphone input for 200-600 Ω microphones; 15 dB user selectable gain boost; + 15 V DC phantom power (selectable); sensitivity – 70 dBu; front panel recessed gain control |
| Line input | 6.4 mm jack socket balanced line input; sensitivity – 30 dBu; overload protected; front panel recessed gain control |
| Slave I/O | 6.4 mm jack insert point for connection of SP5 phase shifter 0 dBu signal can be used for recording |
OUTPUTS
| Drive voltage | 6.4 Vrms (9.0V peak) at maximum output current |
| Drive current | • 4.9 Arms (7.0 Apk) continuous 1 kHz sine wave • Short term peaks >10 A • Front panel recessed control • Drive current indicated on 4-LED display in 3 dB increments |
| Loop connector | Wieland ST17/2 (supplied) |
