Infinium Flex Bundle | FM, Wi-Fi, & Auracast Broadcast Audio

BA-SYS4

One Flexible Bundle. More Ways to Listen.

The InfiniumĀ® Flex Bundle brings together two proven assistive listening solutions in one convenient package: the FM+ T55C D transmitter and the Infinium CT1 controller and transmitter. Together, they deliver FM, Wi-Fi, and Auracastā„¢ broadcast audio, allowing venues to accommodate guests using venue-provided receivers, smartphones, hearing aids, cochlear implants, earbuds, headphones, and Auracast compatible receivers. Both systems include DanteĀ® connectivity for seamless integration into modern AV environments.

Designed for venues that want to offer more listening choices, the Infinium Flex Bundle helps venues support a broad range of accessibility needs and listening preferences. Both the FM+ T55C D and Infinium CT1 are designed, engineered, and manufactured in the USA and are TAA compliant, making the bundle perfect for government, higher education, transportation, and other public-sector projects.

*Receivers sold separately. The Infinium Flex Bundle is available only in the Americas, where operation in the 72-76 MHz FM band is permitted.

The Infinium Flex Bundle brings together the FM+ T55C D transmitter and Infinium CT1 controller and transmitter in a single package. Together, they deliver FM, Wi-Fi, and Auracast broadcast audio, giving venues more ways to connect guests.

The FM+ T55C D uses dual-broadcast technology to deliver audio over both FM and Wi-Fi. Guests can listen using a venue-provided FM or Wi-Fi receiver, or stream the Wi-Fi audio directly to their smartphone using the free WaveCASTĀ® app. The Infinium CT1 adds Auracast broadcast audio, enabling direct streaming to compatible hearing aids, cochlear implants, earbuds, headphones, smartphones, and Infinium receivers.

This flexible approach allows venues to accommodate a wide range of listening preferences without requiring guests to use a specific device or technology. Whether someone relies on a dedicated receiver or prefers to use their own compatible device, they can access the audio in the way that works best for them.

Both units include Dante networking for integration with modern AV systems. The included dual rack-mount kit provides a clean, professional installation within a single rack unit.

The Infinium Flex Bundle is ideal for theaters, performing arts centers, houses of worship, conference centers, lecture halls, universities, government facilities, transportation hubs, and other public venues seeking a flexible assistive listening solution.
