An adult sound processor wearer can clip a Mini Microphone 2+ to their companion’s collar when they’re dining at a restaurant, or a parent can ask their child's teacher to clip it on and use it during lesson time.
Group conversations
Place a Mini Microphone 2+ in the centre of a meeting room at work, or in child’s classroom for group games and learning.
The Mini Microphone 2+ also offers connectivity to audio sources such as TV, Hi-Fi, loop systems and FM systems.
