Williams AV Unveils New Infinium System Delivering Real-Time Audio Over Bluetooth Auracast

For nearly 50 years, Williams AV has pioneered audio solutions that enhance audio intelligibility and accessibility. As one of the first companies in this segment to promote a demonstration of a commercial Auracast solution, Williams AV will now unveil its new Infinium solution at ISE 2025, expanding on this legacy and unlocking new possibilities for audio distribution and assistive communication in public spaces.
 
Infinium is the next-generation Auracast broadcast audio solution for public and commercial spaces, designed specifically for AV professionals by Williams AV. Available as a complete system, Infinium empowers AV integrators to design and deploy seamless, high-quality audio experiences across diverse environments. Applications such as streaming TV audio to personal devices in public spaces, providing crystal-clear interpretation audio, enhancing live event experiences with multi-language support, are among the multiple possibilities for this solution, leveraging Bluetooth LE Audio and Auracast technology.

With Infinium, Williams AV will also expand augmented and assistive listening accessibility for those with Auracast-equipped hearing aids and earbuds. With an Infinium System, venues can offer seamless audio to all guests – regardless of their hearing abilities or preferred listening devices. The whole system was designed for quick deployment with minimal cabling, and includes dedicated receivers to enable immediate operation.

“Infinium represents a major leap forward in assistive listening,” says Brad Kautzer, President and CEO of Williams AV. “By leveraging Auracast technology, we are making professional-grade audio more accessible and easier to deploy than ever before. Infinium empowers venues to seamlessly provide intelligible audio to all guests, regardless of their hearing needs, ensuring an inclusive experience across diverse environments.”

Building on its legacy of pioneering commercial audio solutions, Infinium delivers high-quality, low-latency audio to an unlimited number of compatible devices, including hearing aids, cochlear implants, headphones, and dedicated receivers. The whole system was designed with an architecture preferred by system integrators and is an ideal solution for transportation hubs, education facilities, theaters, and fitness centers.  The Infinium Auracast transmitter (pictured above) is a compact unit that can be placed on the ceiling, wall, podiums, or integrated into other office furniture. The low-profile design transmitter combines functionality and aesthetics, blending into any environment. A separate controller with integrated Dante ensures seamless integration into modern AV systems while providing flexible programming and monitoring options. For venues looking to offer guests a listening device, the system includes an ergonomically designed receiver for optimal comfort and usability (pictured below).
Headquartered in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, Williams AV has been a leader in assistive communication technology since 1976. Williams AV’s comprehensive portfolio includes solutions for assistive listening, language interpretation, intercom systems, classroom audio, guided tours, and entertainment. With a global presence spanning over 60 countries, Williams AV collaborates with a trusted network of distributors and integrators.

Williams AV will demonstrate this solution at ISE 2025 in Barcelona, and anticipates shipping in the Summer 2025.
