As an industry leader, Edwards Sound Systems is proud to offer Auracast, the next generation of assistive listening technology. This innovative solution, built on the new Bluetooth® Low Energy (LE) Audio standard, is set to transform how people experience audio in public and professional spaces.
What is Auracast? Auracast is a groundbreaking Bluetooth capability that enables an audio source—such as a TV, PA system, or microphone—to broadcast a live audio stream to an unlimited number of compatible devices simultaneously. Unlike traditional Bluetooth, which requires one-to-one pairing, Auracast allows users to simply "tune in" to an audio broadcast, much like connecting to a Wi-Fi network. This technology is a significant step forward from older systems, such as hearing loops, offering a more flexible, scalable, and user-friendly experience.
Inclusive Accessibility: Auracast provides a seamless listening experience for everyone. Users with compatible hearing aids, cochlear implants, wireless earbuds, or headphones can connect directly to the broadcast, ensuring they receive crystal-clear, high-quality audio without background noise or interference.
Enhanced User Experience: Whether you're a sports bar with multiple TVs, a museum offering multilingual tours, a church broadcasting a sermon, or an airport making announcements, Auracast empowers your visitors to choose and listen to the audio they want, at their own volume.
Cost-Effective and Flexible: Auracast systems are easier to install and maintain than many traditional assistive listening technologies. They can often be integrated into existing AV infrastructure, making it a highly cost-effective solution for upgrading your facility to meet modern accessibility standards.
Scalability: From a single meeting room to a large stadium, Auracast is a highly scalable technology that can grow with your needs. A single transmitter can cover a broad area, and multiple streams can be broadcast simultaneously for different purposes, such as different language translations or commentary.
At Edwards Sound Systems, we believe in creating a more accessible and engaging world through superior audio technology. Auracast is not just an upgrade; it's a step toward a truly inclusive and immersive audio environment.
