Infinium R1 Auracast™ Receiver

Auracast™, Assistive Listening

BA R1

The Infinium® R1 is a TAA-compliant Auracast™ receiver designed for the Infinium broadcast audio system (Infinium CT1). Its ergonomic design features the largest OLED display in its class for enhanced visibility, easy-access buttons with tactile feedback, and balance control to adjust audio delivery to each ear based on the user’s hearing needs.

The Infinium R1 supports both secure (private) and open (public) audio modes, giving venues flexibility across a range of applications. Users can listen using headphones or earphones connected via the 3.5 mm stereo jack, or through t-coil-equipped hearing aids via a stereo neck loop connected to the receiver—ensuring accessibility for a wide range of listeners.

The receiver’s rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides reliable, all-day operation and can be charged via USB or a multi-unit charging dock. When deployed as part of a complete Infinium system with receivers, venues can support ADA-compliant assistive listening, creating a more inclusive experience for guests with hearing loss.

Note: Earphones, neck loops, and charging dock sold separately.
