What is a personal amplifier?
A personal amplifier is a portable listening device that captures nearby sound, processes it, and delivers it through headphones, earbuds, stetoclips, or a neck loop at a volume you control.
Instead of making the entire room louder, it brings sound directly to the listener. Use it for face-to-face conversations, television, connected audio, or with a remote microphone when the speaker is farther away.
Bellman is immediate. Connect your listening accessory, turn it on, and adjust the volume.

How do they work?
Overview
Overview
From sound to clearer listening.
A Bellman personal amplifier captures nearby sound through a built-in microphone and delivers it through the listener's chosen headphones, earbuds, stetoclips, or neck loop.
Digital processing shapes the sound in real time, helping speech stand out while the listener controls the volume.
Use it for face-to-face conversations, television, or connected audio sources. Depending on the product, external microphones and wireless transmitters can extend listening across greater distances.

Bring a distant speaker closer.
A personal amplifier captures sound near the listener. A listening system adds a wireless microphone that can be placed closer to the person speaking, then sends their voice directly to the listener's receiver.
This can make a meaningful difference across a table, in a meeting, during a class, or anywhere distance and surrounding noise compete with the conversation.
Use the receiver on its own for nearby sound, then add the wireless microphone when you need greater reach.
