Auracast in Venues

Auracast™ is redefining how public spaces deliver audio, turning compliance-driven systems into opportunities for richer audience engagement. From large stadiums and conference centres to gyms, cinemas, sports bars, and houses of worship, Auracast enhances how visitors experience sound.

Practical Applications

• Silent Screens – Airports, gyms, and waiting areas can let visitors tune in to silent TV screens using their own earbuds or hearing devices.

• Guided Tours – Museums, convention centres, and attractions can provide clear, multilingual audio directly to patrons’ devices.

• Multi-Language Streams – Conferences, theatres, and worship centres can deliver simultaneous translations or alternative commentary feeds.

• Assistive Listening – PA systems in airports, lecture halls, cinemas, and stadiums can broadcast audio directly to hearing aids, earbuds, or smartphones, improving accessibility for all.

For venues, the value goes beyond compliance. Auracast enables patrons to personalise their experience—whether choosing a commentary stream at a sports bar, following a tour in their own language, or discreetly connecting to audio with hearing aids. It transforms accessibility into inclusivity, giving every visitor more choice and control.

The End User Perspective: Accessibility with Dignity

For people with hearing loss, Auracast™ delivers a listening experience that is clear, discreet, and user-friendly. Instead of relying on bulky receivers or borrowing equipment, patrons can connect directly with their own hearing aids, cochlear implants, or everyday earbuds.

This shift reduces the stigma sometimes felt when using traditional assistive listening devices and provides higher-quality sound that reduces listening fatigue. Auracast empowers users to participate on equal terms, with the freedom to access audio comfortably and confidently in any environment.

The Installer Perspective: Simpler Integration

For integrators working with venues wishing to implement an assistive listening solution, Auracast offers a smoother path to deployment compared with traditional induction loop systems. Transmitters can be placed in ceilings, racks, or walls and connected with standard Cat cabling, avoiding the structural complexity of loop installations.

Although early hardware costs are higher than infrared or RF systems, the long-term benefits are clear. With easier installation, scalable coverage, and lower maintenance requirements, Auracast provides a practical and future-proof solution that will become increasingly cost-effective as adoption grows.

Importantly, commercial solutions exist to support mass charging and deployment of receivers, as well as for encrypted access to audio streams in environments where privacy is essential—such as courtrooms and secure meeting rooms—ensuring that only authorised users can connect.
