Auracast Bluetooth Assistive Listening Systems

Auracast: Bluetooth Assistive Hearing and Public Audio

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.

Key Benefits for Your Venue or Business:

• 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.
