The Audio Solutions
AID
(audio interface device), is the only passive device designed
to allow any device that produces sound to now be played into
professional recording, interface with commercial sound systems
AND still use the headphones without adapters. Audio Solutions
AID is designed to work with all types of audio systems, i.e.,
Computer
Sound Interface, portable tape and or CD
Player interface, DVD Interface, Boom
Box Interface etc. Most consumer electronics
provide a headphone jack but no line out. The AID will handle
either line level signal or headphone level audio with ease.
Exclusive with the AID,
stereo headphones can be used to “cue” or select
the proper audio. When the correct audio is selected, a flick
of the switch sends the audio to the room PA system.

Another
very important feature of the Audio Solutions
AID Direct Box, is it does not require an audio technician
to use the Audio Solutions AID in any situation. The Audio
Solutions AID provides the ability to match the signal level
from the source (output) to the sensitivity of the equipment
(input). When using a microphone jack in a public meeting
room, the signal can be padded or reduced to provide the proper
level of signal that does not over drive or cause distortion
in the input of the mixer. Once the pad is set on the Audio
Solutions AID, the volume control for the headphones on the
source, i.e. computer or boom box, allows total control of
the volume in the room.

Deck style CD and DVD players may not have
headphone capability. They still can be used and play audio
into a meeting room. The RCA or pin type connectors common
on this equipment can be used. It requires an adapter cord
(see products for example) to connect to the Audio Solutions
AID. Some headphones will allow the audio to be monitored
and provide enough signal to power the PA system. The only
draw back to this arrangement is the lack of a volume control
on the player. The pad switch is the only method to increase
or decrease the sound in a room without having access to the
facilities PA system. |

Until now,
it has been difficult if not impossible to easily
and conveniently have
the sound from your laptop be amplified through the room speakers.
This is an example of how easy it is to use the Audio Solutions
AID in a presentation audio setup. |

 Example:
You have a presentation on your computer.
The slides also have audio attached and you will be using
a room at the local hotel or convention center. This presentation
is expected to have several hundred in attendance and you
only have the speakers in your laptop. The room has a built
in PA system and you will be using a hand held type of microphone
on the podium. There are other locations in the room that
could have a microphone connections. The hotel is providing
a video projector and large screen so everyone in the room
can see the images.

To
have the audio for your presentation in the room speakers,
simply connect the headphone jack to the input of the Audio
Solutions AID with a 3.5mm stereo patch cord (see
products), connect with a microphone cable (see
products), to the microphone connector in the Audio Solutions
AID to the microphone jack in a wall plate in the room. Place
the pad switch of the Audio Solutions at the -40 dB position,
set the volume level on the headphone listening control of
the computer at about ½ volume level, start the show.
Flick the switch to the on position and if the sound is weak
in the room, slide the pad switch to -20 dB. If there is not
enough sound and the signal is week, to the 0 position. When
the signal is loud enough adjust up or down with the volume
control on the computer for the final adjustments. The headphones
can be used at any time before or during a presentation without
interruption of the audio in the room. The switch does not
turn on or off the sound in the headphones. |
