Williams AV expands Infinium platform
The Infinium Flex Bundle combines FM, Wi-Fi and Auracast broadcast audio technologies in a single solution, helping venues support more listeners without choosing a single listening platform. By pairing the Infinium controller and FM+ transmitter in a single rack-mounted package, the bundle delivers FM, Wi-Fi and Auracast audio streams that enable assistive listening, language interpretation, audio description and other guest-listening applications. Guests can listen using hearing aids, cochlear implants, smartphones, Auracast-compatible devices or venue-provided receivers.
The Infinium T1 Transmitter with Outdoor Enclosure extends Auracast broadcast audio beyond a building’s walls, enabling delivery of assistive listening, language interpretation, audio description and other audio services in outdoor environments. The package includes an Infinium T1 Transmitter and an IP66-rated enclosure designed to protect against dust and high-pressure water exposure while maintaining the same low-latency audio performance used throughout the Infinium platform. It is suitable for stadiums, outdoor performance venues, transit stations, campuses, theme parks and other large outdoor venues that require accessible audio. The transmitter is also available in black.
The Auracast Headphone Receiver (BA-HR1) provides a simple way for venues to offer Auracast audio to guests without compatible personal devices. Designed to deliver the volume and intelligibility required for assistive listening compliance, it supports inclusive listening for all guests. Unlike many Auracast listening solutions, the receiver connects directly to Auracast broadcasts without requiring a smartphone, app, assistant device or complicated setup process. It automatically discovers nearby channels and allows guests to quickly select and listen to their preferred audio stream, providing a dedicated listening option for venues that supply devices to their guests.
Infinium’s Enhanced Scale & Management (ESM) features expand the platform’s ability to support large and complex Auracast deployments. ESM allows integrators to organise transmitters into arrays, apply settings across multiple transmitters simultaneously and manage deployments through a centralised web-based interface. The system reportedly supports virtually unlimited transmitter expansion across rooms, zones and facilities.
Finally, the TeachLogic SP-5000 is a vertical line speaker array that brings large-venue sound technology into the classroom. Using two speakers where traditional classroom audio installations often require four or more, the SP-5000 is said to deliver clear, intelligible speech and a more uniform sound field throughout the room. Wide horizontal audio dispersion helps ensure every seat receives consistent audio coverage without gaps or hot spots, helping students hear instruction more clearly, regardless of where they sit.
