When the Melaphone Speech Unit was designed 50 years ago for the booking offices at British Rail stations, nobody could have predicted that half a century later it would suddenly be in such high demand.<\/p>\n
The current Corona Virus Pandemic had created an urgent need for all protective equipment \u2013 both for personal use and in the working environment.\u00a0 This is the reason the Melaphone\u00ae has come into its own again. Its unique design, with its resonating membrane and air-sealed construction, make it the ideal device to install in any situation where face-to-face communication occurs. It not only offers protection from air-borne viruses and pathogens, it also enhances and clarifies the frequently muffled sound when people speak through a screen. Its protective credentials have been certified to ISO 14644-1 Class 5 \u2013 indeed, it has often been specified by architects and designers for use in hospitals, laboratories and cleanrooms or anywhere hygiene is of paramount importance. It is a simple but really ingenious invention which requires no servicing, wiring or electrical supply. And it is very easy to keep clean and safe with an antiseptic wipe.<\/p>\n
The Melaphone\u00ae has now been built into the new Defender Virus Screens produced by the company and numerous doctors\u2019 surgeries, medical centres, clinics and pharmacies in the UK have had these screens installed with considerable success and approval. The screens are individually made and every component is of the highest quality, giving a clean, sleek and professional appearance in any healthcare environment.<\/p>\n
The Melaphone\u00ae is still available as a stand-alone unit for installation into walls, glass or plastic screens, windows or doors. It can easily be retro-fitted into existing structures and requires no special skill to install. The range has been expanded to meet the growing demand for the units. In addition to the original brushed aluminium model there is a stainless steel model, a white powder-coated aluminium model and the newest and highly successful Himacs acrylic-resin model, which is at a very popular price. All of these models are available from stock and can be purchased from Melaphone VisAudio.Even after 50 years, we\u2019re proud to still be able to say \u2018MADE IN THE UK\u2019 at our London production facility.<\/p>\n
