Phonak Roger pen (Sterling)

The Roger Pen is a cutting-edge wireless microphone, which enables clients to hear and understand more speech in loud noise and over distance. Its settings automatically adjust to suit its environment based on acoustic scene analysis and its orientation. The Roger Pen is ideal for adults and teenagers.

Designed particularly with discretion in mind, the Roger Pen features adaptive wireless transmission, fully automated settings, wideband audio Bluetooth for mobile phone use, TV connectivity, and an audio input for listening to multimedia. It can also be used alongside other Roger Clip-On Mics and Roger Pens in a microphone network.

Roger is the latest wireless technology from Phonak. Digital processing makes speech significantly clearer – automatically adjusting to enhance understanding and comprehension considerably, even in noisy situations. For more information, click here.

The Roger Pen is used with miniature Roger receivers, which attach directly to hearing aids or cochlear implants. These are sold separately and come in different models. Please click here for more information.

When to use it? The Roger Pen will make a real difference in challenging listening situations, such as:

• in loud noise over distance
• when there are several speakers.

Roger Pen Features:

• Uses the Phonak Roger digital wireless platform
• Sophisticated and discrete design
• Automatic adjustment between different microphone modes, depending on which way up the Pen is and the level of background noise
• Advanced beamforming will improve speech understanding when used in a directional microphone setting (pointed towards a particular speaker) or in noisy conference-style situations
• Bluetooth for mobile phone use - hands free functionality
• Multiple microphones can be used in a network - up to 10 Roger Pens or Roger Clip on Mics can be used together
• Supplied with a docking station which will work as a charger and also to listen to the TV.
• Now with digital optical input facility (Toslink cable required/not included). The 3.5mm audio input socket is now a joint 3.5mm analogue input & digital audio input (choose PCM not Dolby).

The Roger Pen is a flexible, intelligent product. It detects which situation you are in and adapts its microphone settings automatically to provide you with the best speech understanding possible.

There are 3 different automatic microphone options:

• Conference style - Place Roger Pen in the middle of a table to listen to a group of people. The Pen will automatically detect that it is lying down and will set the microphones to an omnidirectional setting. Additionally, a carefully positioned weight will ensure that the microphones are always facing upwards.
• Interview style - Hold Roger Pen in your hand and point it towards the person you want to hear. The Pen microphones will zoom in on the person speaking.
• Around the neck - Use the lanyard (neckloop) to hang Roger Pen around the neck of the speaker you want to hear. The Pen will detect that it is being used vertically and will go into directional microphone mode.

The Pen will also automatically adjust the gain of the receiver when the environmental noise increases. It is possible to manually override the automatic microphone settings if preferred. A special surface treatment reduces the noise caused by rubbing against other surfaces, such as clothing, to an absolute minimum.

The Roger Pen also allows you to connect to Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones and smartphones to make and receive phone calls. The microphone in the Pen will transmit your voice and you can answer or hang up a call using the buttons on the side. When paired with your phone, you will also hear incoming calls ring in your hearing aids.

The Roger Pen docking station is used to both recharge the microphone and transmit audio from a TV or other audio device (such as your TV, tablet or HiFi) to the Roger Pen (and into your hearing aids). Alternatively, you can use the short micro-USB audio cable to connect your multimedia device directly to your Roger Pen.

Connecting a Roger Pen to a Roger receiver is really easy - simply make sure they are all charged up, turned on and within 10cm of each other and then push the Connect button on the Roger Pen. The indicator light will go green and you're ready to go!
