In today’s connected environments, reliable wireless audio coverage is no longer optional; it’s essential. Whether you’re deploying assistive listening systems in theaters, houses of worship, or corporate campuses, success starts with understanding your signal coverage. An innovative RF coverage tool can take the guesswork out of your design process, saving time, avoiding costly mistakes, and ensuring every listener can access clear, uninterrupted audio.
Every venue is unique, from its layout and construction materials to competing wireless traffic. Without a clear picture of how your audio signal will perform, you risk poor coverage, dead zones, or interference. That’s where an RF coverage tool makes a difference. Instead of relying on trial-and-error or post-install troubleshooting, integrators and designers can model environments, simulate signal propagation, and visualize performance before hardware is installed. This proactive approach leads to more confident deployments and satisfied end-users.
The right RF tool isn’t just a map with signal strength bars; it’s a powerful engine that lets you:
This level of insight helps you make informed decisions, like where to mount transmitters, how many are needed, and what orientation the transmitter should be mounted in. It also supports compliance by validating that your assistive listening system will provide equitable access throughout the venue.
Assistive listening deployments come with their own unique challenges, especially in complex environments like multipurpose spaces, theaters, or classrooms. Listeners rely on strong, uninterrupted signal quality, and many use hearing aids or personal receivers with specific needs. An RF coverage tool helps you account for all of this, ensuring that your broadcast audio reaches every corner where it’s needed. You can also simulate worst-case scenarios, plan for future expansion, and troubleshoot remotely without disrupting events or performances. That means faster installs, fewer support calls, and more accessible experiences for everyone.
This is especially important with Auri™, the first complete solution leveraging Auracast™ broadcast audio for assistive listening, plus augmented audio experience for all users.
Auri™ transforms how venues deliver audio by allowing people to connect with their own Auracast™-enabled devices or dedicated receivers. Because Auracast™ uses Bluetooth® LE Audio, proper RF planning ensures coverage is consistent across every seat in a theater, every row in a classroom, or every pew in a house of worship. Listen Technologies and Ampetronic are leading the way with planning and commissioning tools for Auri. A comprehensive planning tool is available for customers, ensuring confidence in the design phase. Auri RX1 includes specially designed commissioning tools to qualify the installation and guarantee performance. Integrators can confidently design Auri™ systems that maximize accessibility and provide inclusive listening experiences from day one.
Whether you’re a seasoned AV integrator or a facility manager planning an upgrade, an RF planning tool helps you speak the language of coverage and performance. It brings credibility when presenting proposals and saves time during walkthroughs. For manufacturers and partners, it streamlines the design phase, giving everyone on the project a shared, visual understanding of what success looks like. When your audience includes people with hearing loss, success means inclusion and independence.
These tools are even more powerful with Auri™, helping you validate Auracast™ coverage, anticipate user density, and design systems that support current and future assistive listening needs.
Smart planning tools improve installations and ensure your systems deliver on their promise of accessibility. If you’re designing or supporting wireless audio, consider incorporating RF modeling into your workflow. The insights you gain upfront can save hours later and create better listening experiences for all.
