Mini Auracast Broadcast Point

The Opus Technologies AurOEM with Plastic Case and Power Supply AURA-CA is a compact Auracast™ transmitter designed to add wireless audio broadcasting to compatible installations. Combining the Opus AurOEM electronic module with a plastic enclosure and power supply, it provides a packaged solution for installers and integrators incorporating Auracast technology into existing equipment or new projects.

Opus identifies the AURA-CA as a solution for counter loop retrofits and window intercom applications. This makes it relevant to reception desks and service counters where installers are looking to introduce an additional way for visitors to access audio. Auracast broadcasts audio to compatible receiving devices, helping extend the listening options available within a suitably designed system.

For installations using the Opus HDC20 counter loop amplifier, the manufacturer specifically confirms that adding an AURA-CA enables an upgrade to a hybrid system through the HDC20’s dedicated Auracast output. This allows the installation to retain its induction loop provision while adding Auracast transmission. It offers a practical upgrade route for customers who want to introduce the newer listening technology alongside their existing loop system.

The AURA-CA is built around the AurOEM subsystem, which Opus developed to simplify the integration of Auracast into products and third-party systems. The supplied enclosure and power supply distinguish this package from the standalone AurOEM board, making it a useful option when the project calls for an enclosed transmitter.

When specifying the AURA-CA, confirm the audio connection and installation requirements for the equipment being connected. Listeners require an Auracast-compatible receiving device, and compatibility should be checked as part of the system design. For counter loop upgrades, the existing loop amplifier and associated loop remain separate parts of the installation.
