What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

The Maxi Classic is a handheld personal amplifier that picks up nearby sound with its built-in microphone and sends it to headphones or earbuds at up to 60dB of boost. It works best for one-on-one talks or small groups. A 9-step volume control and a tone control let you shape the sound to your hearing, and the noise reduction and feedback manager help keep speech clear. A telecoil mode lets you listen through a loop system where one is installed, and a 2.5 mm input jack lets you plug in an audio source. The big buttons and bright LED display make it easy to read and press, and both headphones and earbuds come in the box, so you can pick whichever is more comfortable.
