Project: University of the Arts London

Product: Auri™
Location: London, United Kingdom

Auri™ was selected as the best Assistive Listening System option for UAL’s inclusive learning spaces.

The Hearing Challenge

University of the Arts London in the United Kingdom sought to implement an assistive listening solution to support students and ensure accessibility for those who needed it in their teaching spaces. When a specific request arose, they utilised Ampetronic and Listen Technologies’ diverse portfolio to help evaluate multiple technologies, including Auracast™, Audio over Wi-Fi, Infrared, and Induction Loop. The institution required a system with exceptional audio quality, minimal impact on users, easy installation, and future-proof potential to operate without dedicated receivers.

The Assistive Listening Solution

After rigorous testing, Auri™ was selected as the best option due to its superior audio quality, ease of installation, and flexibility. The University installed three AURI™-TX2N-D transmitters, two AURI™-D4 docking stations, and four AURI™-RX1 receivers across two 96-person classrooms and one 48-person classroom.

Result

Using Auracast™ (Bluetooth® LE Audio), Auri™ provided high-quality, stereo, low-latency audio directly to headphones and assistive listening devices. The system not only met immediate accessibility needs but also offered future potential as more Auracast™-compatible receivers become available. Early impressions confirmed Auri™ as an exceptional solution for students who are deaf or hard of hearing, with additional benefits for neurodiverse individuals.
