Eden Prairie, MN – December 19, 2025
Williams AV is proud to announce that Infinium®, its professional Auracast™ broadcast audio solution, has been named Emerging Technology of the Year in the 2025 Sound & Video Contractor (SVC) Innovative Product Awards. The recognition caps a milestone year for Infinium, which was also honored as the Best Assistive Listening Device in the 2025 Commercial Integrator BEST Awards.
Voted on by Sound & Video Contractor readers, this peer-driven honor highlights products that advance Pro AV performance. The SVC editorial team noted: “Readers and subscribers have selected these products as the best of the best. This is certification that both end users and industry experts value these winning entries.”
A Premium Audio Experience for All
Beyond meeting global accessibility mandates, Infinium elevates the audio experience for all listeners. Built on Auracast™, a Bluetooth® technology, the system broadcasts multiple streams of high-intelligibility, low-latency audio to an unlimited number of people.
Whether used for audio description, language interpretation, or overcoming stadium noise, guests can listen via dedicated receivers or their own Auracast™ compatible earbuds, hearing aids, and headphones. This BYOD-friendly approach removes traditional barriers to communication in any large public space.
Purpose-Built for Integrators
The Infinium system is designed for modern AV environments with integrated Dante® connectivity. Built on an architecture preferred by system integrators, its modular design pairs a rack-mounted controller with compact remote transmitters to support flexible venue coverage. A single CAT5 cable delivers audio, power, and control, simplifying installation for both new and retrofit projects. For integrators, this means they can recommend Infinium with confidence — knowing it integrates seamlessly into existing AV ecosystems and scales easily across diverse venue types.
“We are honored by this recognition,” said Brad Kautzer, President and CEO of Williams AV. “Infinium bridges the gap between accessibility compliance and a premium guest experience, all while simplifying installation for integrators. To be chosen by the industry professionals who use this technology daily is the highest compliment.”
See Infinium at ISE 2026
Williams AV will showcase the award-winning Infinium solution at ISE 2026 in Barcelona (February 3–6). Attendees can experience firsthand how Infinum’s Auracast™ broadcast audio is reshaping professional communication and accessibility.
