FM+ C is the first transmitter of its kind to offer an FM broadcast and Wi-Fi audio broadcast from a single input source. Whether using the FM+ C for assistive listening, language interpretation, or audio description, this “dual broadcast” technology gives users the option of listening to real-time audio stream on their smartphone or tablet using the free WaveCAST receiver app (iOS and Android) or use an available FM receiver from the venue.
The FM+ C has support for Telnet commands via an Ethernet port enabling AV professionals to control and monitor the FM+ C using third-party room control systems.
The FM+ C integrates professional WaveCAST Wi-Fi audio server technology into a Williams AV FM assistive listening system and integrates with third-party room systems. AV professionals can control third-party room systems with Telnet commands via Ethernet and end users can listen with either an FM receiver or with their own smartphone (via the WaveCAST Receiver App). Along with this flexibility comes exceptional audio quality, as the FM+ C is built on a professional digital audio (DSP) platform.
The FM+ C is designed to support those who want to use their own smartphones and headphones for a more discreet assistive listening experience. Simplicity is also available for those who want a more traditional assistive listening system with a dedicated FM receiver and headset. Venues no longer need to choose between providing FM or Wi-Fi assistive listening systems. FM+ C supports both the new iOS and Android WaveCAST Receiver Apps — in addition to all of the current and legacy Williams Sound FM receivers operating on the 72-76 MHz bandwidth.
Most settings can be changed via the front panel interface, or the hosted web interface. A remote programming guide is available upon request.
The FM+ C uses the WaveCAST app to provide an easy-to-use, intuitive user interface. It is available in iOS or Android. Listeners easily select channel and volume level once their personal device is connected to the Wi-Fi network. The app does not work on FM Broadcasts.
*Note: Firmware is model specific. Firmware updates are currently unable to be completed on Mac computers.

(1) ANT 025 antenna
