What Is This Product?
This product is an audio amplifier and sound enhancing device. It's supplied with a transmitter and a receiver that pick up close speech and can be used to listen to more distant audio. The receiver is the main handset that can be used to control the system and has a clip on the back so that you can keep it on your person.
Who Can Benefit from Using the Bellman Domino Pro with Earphones?
This amplifier is designed to help people with hearing difficulties, these may only be occasional problems that do not require a hearing aid or cochlear implant but cause issues such as during a busy meeting or when out in a busy public place. The Domino can also work with hearing aids to help reduce background interference and enhance speech to make it clearer.
How Does the Domino Pro Work?
The Domino uses a digital algorithm to pick up sounds and enhance the detail by clarifying speech and simultaneously reducing background noise and interference. The device also works with TV, radio and other audio producing devices to reproduce audio with crystal-clear definition. Both the transmitter and the receiver have a directional and omnidirectional microphone so that you can reduce background noise even further by pointing the device at the person talking.
Earphones Included
The Domino Pro comes with earphones included so that you can have instantly improved audio and hear better as soon as you unbox your amplifier system. These earphones are suitable for use with any device that takes a 3.5mm audio jack and provide an excellent sound quality. They will create the best audio when combined with the sound enhancing ability of the Domino Pro.
Is An Internet Connection Required?
The sound is transmitted via radio signals. While an internet connection is not required, the Domino Pro does use the same frequency as wireless broadband communication meaning that you can use your device all over the world. The Domino uses 128-bit digital encryption that makes it virtually impossible to eavesdrop on the sounds your Domino processes, so you can rest assured that your product is both reliable and secure.
Clear Sound without Background Noise
While hearing aids help many people to hear better, they often have a downside of causing the volume of all audio to increase, meaning busy rooms and public places can be too noisy for you to hear what is going on. That's why the Domino specifically works to filter out background noise as well as enhancing speech and human voices, for a clarity of sound that hearing aids can't provide on their own.
Internal Microphone
The Domino features an omnidirectional microphone, meaning that sound is picked up from all around the device and for that reason this microphone is best used indoors and in quieter environments. It works alongside the advanced digital algorithm to ensure that sound from all directions is picked up while only speech and human voices are enhanced. If a green light is showing by the MIC button, then the omnidirectional microphone is selected.
Directional Microphone for Outdoors
The Domino also has the option of using a directional microphone instead of the omnidirectional microphone. The directional microphone is better suited to outdoor, noisy environments as it will only pick up audio from the direction it is pointed in. If the orange light is showing by the MIC button, then the directional microphone is selected.
Transmitter for Distant Listening
The Domino Pro comes with a transmitter that also has directional and omnidirectional microphones. The transmitter can be placed at the other end of a table, at the front of a class or lecture and it can even be worn by a colleague or other individual who you are talking to. The transmitter will pick up on sounds and direct them back to the receiver, helping you hear distant conversation clearly and loudly.
The transmitter picks up what is being said and sends the audio via radio signals to your receiver.
Suitable for Hearing Aids
This device will enhance the quality of audio coming through your hearing aids or cochlear implant. If you want to use the Domino with hearing aids then you can either purchase the Bellman Neck Loop separately here or buy the Domino and the Bellman Neck Loop together here.
Discreet Design
The Domino is a compact device designed to be stored in your pocket to keep it with you without attracting any attention. If you prefer, the Domino is supplied with two neck loops so that you can wear the receiver and have someone wear the transmitter as well.
Tone Adjustment
The Domino Pro Amplifier allows you to adjust the tone on whatever you are listening to by either increasing or decreasing the treble. A higher treble makes the letters S, F and T more pronounced. If you are hard of hearing, then adjusting the tone of what you're listening to can have a significant impact on the clarity of speech, making previously muddy words more distinct.
Highly Customisable
You can personalise your Bellman Domino Pro Amplifier System to have the settings that will work best for you, or if you are prescribing a client the personal amplifier then you can pre-set it with the settings that will be most suited to their specific needs. There are many settings you can adjust, such as:
- Left-right balance
- Basic attenuation
- Stereo or mono audio
- Bass reduction
- Key lock
- Pre-set or disable the tone control
- Reset to factory default
Connect to TV or Radio
Designed for flexibility, the Domino can connect to a variety of audio producing devices such as a TV or radio via a 2.5mm stereo jack. It is also flexible in the ways that it can output audio, either to a hearing aid/cochlear implant via the Bellman Neck Loop or through a 3.5mm audio jack to headphones or earphones.
Portable for On-the-Go Use
It's easy to keep the Domino on your person as it features a clip on the back that allows you to attach it to your clothes or belt and take it with you without having to carry the device. Having the Domino on you while you are out and about means that you can be confident that you will be able to clearly hear whoever you're meeting or wherever you're going.
Huge Battery Life
Not only is the Domino Pro easy to set up but also it is rechargeable, so you don't need to worry about getting new batteries. The built-in rechargeable battery has an extensive battery life of up to 16 hours and charges fully in just 4 hours. Thanks to this impressive battery life you can be confident that your device won't run out on you and, once depleted, that you won't be waiting long before you can use it again.
