At Grace Lutheran Church in Woodstock, Ill., we have been using a new, cost-effective technology called Auracast since the beginning of the year, with excellent results.
The transmitter we chose is a small unit about the size of a Wi-Fi hub, called Auri. At the time, it was the only one available that also offered handheld receivers. It’s not difficult to install, but it helps to have someone familiar with the congregation’s sound system, as we did. For those who must pack up their system after worship, the transmitter can be mounted on a portable tripod. The reception at Grace has been overwhelmingly positive, and the system is used more than our FM radio link.
