Bettear FORGE Professional Stream Expander for the Caster or Caster X

***Pre-Order Now: Coming End of 2026***

FORGE XD is a professional stream expander for the CASTER — multiplying the number of Auracast™ streams a single transmitter can broadcast, from 2 to 8.

Audio reaches FORGE XD from any Dante®-enabled device on the network, and FORGE XD connects directly to your CASTER or CASTER X transmitter on the other end.

FORGE XD is managed entirely over Ethernet, making it easy to configure and control across the venue.

Suitable for airports, museums, visitor centres, live interpretation, multi-stream-events, and more.
