Williams AV BA C1-00 – Infinium Auracast Controller

Product Overview

The Williams AV BA C1-00 is the Infinium Auracast controller, the network hub of an Auracast assistive listening system. It manages Bluetooth LE Audio broadcast to Infinium receivers and to Auracast-enabled hearing aids and earbuds, making it the foundation of a modern commercial assistive listening system for auditoriums, houses of worship, and government spaces. The controller is sold without a transmitter and pairs with the BA T1 transmitter to form a complete head end.

Product Description

The BA C1-00 controller provides audio input, system management, and network connectivity for an Infinium Auracast assistive listening system. It works with one or more BA T1 Auracast transmitters to broadcast audio over Bluetooth LE Audio, allowing patrons to listen on Infinium receivers or on their own Auracast-compatible devices. As part of a networked head end, the controller integrates cleanly into commercial AV racks and simplifies deployment compared with legacy FM or infrared head-ends. It is intended for venues standardizing on Auracast for assistive listening and language access. Build a complete system by pairing the controller with a BA T1 transmitter, Infinium receivers, and earphones or neckloops. A network switch is required for connectivity.
