Listen Technologies Corporation and Ampetronic announced that Auri, the first complete Auracast broadcast audio-based assistive listening solution, is now shipping. Auri lets venues and end users adopt Auracast broadcast audio technology, a new standard for Bluetooth Low Energy Audio, for assistive listening in public spaces. Auri delivers high-quality, low-latency, multi-channel audio to an unlimited number of dedicated receivers and newly emerging Auracast compatible consumer devices.
Auri features network installed transmitters, dedicated receivers, docking stations, Auri Manager software, and a complete line of accessories, including headphones, neck loops and signage.
Here’s a video we shot of it at ISE 2025:
Auri TX2N Transmitter: The Auri TX2N is a professional-grade transmitter that accepts a variety of audio inputs to suit different venues and applications. Audio inputs can be assigned in mono or stereo to one or two channels; venues can add more channels by connecting additional transmitters. Each Auri TX2N transmitter broadcasts over a wide area. If more coverage is needed, the system can be expanded by adding an additional transmitter in the repeater mode. An optional transmitter with Dante® network audio interface is available.
Auri RX1 Receiver: The Auri RX1 receiver meets global accessibility requirements for assistive listening and lets end users choose how they receive a broadcast. They can use their own Auracast™ compatible device or an Auri™ receiver to scan for available broadcasts. Auri™ receivers can be programmed to support both open and encrypted broadcasts. The Auri™ receiver works with integrated neck loop lanyards for users with telecoil-equipped hearing aids.
Auri D4 and D16 Docking Stations: Auri docking stations in 4- and 16-unit models can be used for standalone charging or to manage and configure receiver settings and support firmware updates to docked receivers. A complete receiver configuration can be stored in the docking station and transferred to all docked receivers with the press of a button.
Auri Manager Software: Auri Manager software for Windows® facilitates system set-up and management. Venue operators can configure a single device or manage an extensive system deployed across a site or multiple areas within a venue. They can manage broadcast channel names and settings, apply passwords to protect channel access, and download and install firmware updates.
