Auracast™ Broadcast Audio - What Is It?
Auracast™ is a new Bluetooth® capability that enables an audio transmitter to broadcast to an unlimited number of receivers.
And no pairing of devices! Selecting a broadcast is much like choosing a Wi-Fi network, the user simply selects the desired Auracast™ channel to hear that broadcast.
How Auri™ Works
Connect the audio source to an Auri™ transmitter.
The Auri™ transmitter broadcasts the audio.
Access the audio on a dedicated Auri™ receiver or a device capable of receiving an Auracast™ broadcast.
Auri™ Manager Software
Auri™ Manager is Windows® software that simplifies the configuration and management of Auri™ transmitters, docking stations, and receivers across your network. With automatic device discovery, it supports everything from single-device setup to large system programming. Easily create and manage device groups, update firmware, monitor system health, and control all device options, whether you’re adjusting a single receiver or pushing updates network-wide.
Manage Inventory
Easily track and manage inventory while also optimising system health in one convenient place.
Customise Experiences
Configure system parameters to give users the best experience by naming channels, setting audio quality and defining how receivers scan and connect.
Secure Broadcasts
Control which channels are visible and accessible to ensure those who need to listen to your channel can access that securely.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the standard range of the Auri™ broadcast system?
Each Auri™ TX2N transmitter broadcasts over 100 meters (328 ft) in all directions. If more coverage is required, the system can be expanded with additional TX2n transmitters in the repeater mode. Range will vary depending on environmental factors and other receivers such as earbuds or hearing aids may perform differently to the Auri RX1.
If I have Auracast™-enabled hearing aids/cochlear implants, how can I connect to the transmitter?
It depends on the hearing aid/cochlear implant manufacturer, but most will allow you to connect via their designated app. The TX2N transmitter would appear in the Bluetooth® pairing lists so you’d simply have to connect to the desired source
How many receivers can connect to a broadcast?
An unlimited number of receivers can connect to an Auracast™ transmitter.
When can we expect to see hearing aids and other audio technology with Bluetooth® Low Energy capabilities?
Many audio manufacturers are implementing Auracast™ based technology within their devices. Adoption rates will vary, but many are coming to market this year.
How many channels can Auri™ support in the same space?
Each Auri™ TX2N transmitter supports up to two channels but more transmitters can be added to increase channel count. The exact number of channels supported will depend on environment and range requirements.
How are the transmitters powered?
A single ethernet connection supports PoE, network/PC connection. Or a USB-C port is available to accept power from an optional power supply, rounding out the standard connectors.
What are the audio inputs?
A concealed side-panel offers two balanced analog mic/line audio inputs for the two radios. This combination offers an array of routing and configuration options, including single stream mono audio, true stereo audio, and dual mono streams with separate audio (e.g. content or language).
Is there a Dante® version available?
Yes, the standard TX2N does not come equipped with Dante® but they are readily available. An optional version of the transmitter adds a Dante® network audio interface.
Has the latency improved with Auracast™-based products?
Yes, the Auri™ system supports latency as low as 30ms, depending on certain broadcast settings. Latency will vary with other receivers such as earbuds or hearing aids.
