Challenge
University of the Arts London in the United Kingdom sought to implement an assistive listening solution to support students and ensure accessibility for those who needed it in their teaching spaces. When a specific request arose, they utilized Ampetronic and Listen Technologies’ diverse portfolio to help evaluate multiple technologies, including Auracast™, Audio over Wi-Fi, Infrared, and Induction Loop. The institution required a system with exceptional audio quality, minimal impact on users, easy installation, and future-proof potential to operate without dedicated receivers.
Solution
Après des tests rigoureux, Auri™ a été retenu comme la meilleure option en raison de sa qualité audio supérieure, de sa facilité d'installation et de sa flexibilité. L'université a installé trois émetteurs AURI™-TX2N-D, deux stations d'accueil AURI™-D4 et quatre récepteurs AURI™-RX1 dans deux salles de classe de 96 places et une salle de classe de 48 places.
Résultat
Using Auracast™ (Bluetooth® LE Audio), Auri™ provided high-quality, stereo, low-latency audio directly to headphones and assistive listening devices. The system not only met immediate accessibility needs but also offered future potential as more Auracast™-compatible receivers become available.
Early impressions confirmed Auri™ as an exceptional solution for students who are deaf or hard of hearing, with additional benefits for neurodiverse individuals.
