Opus launches new Aura Bluetooth audio range

There are many benefits to Aura by Opus; for example, the enhanced audio quality. Aura delivers high-fidelity audio, minimising distortion and ensuring clear sound reproduction. This ensures users receive the best possible listening experience with minimal interference.

Aura's advanced algorithms also effectively filter out background noise. This significantly improves speech intelligibility in noisy environments, making it easier for users to understand and engage with the audio content.

Users also have the flexibility to customise their audio settings. They can adjust volume, bass, and treble to their individual preferences, creating a personalised listening experience that is comfortable and enjoyable.

Aura seamlessly integrates with existing infrastructure in various public spaces. This means that implementing Aura doesn't require significant modifications to the existing audio systems or infrastructure.

Key advantages of Opus Aura products include:

• Reduced Installation Disruption: Since Aura can work with existing systems, it minimises the need for extensive modifications or replacements. This reduces disruption to daily operations in the public space, such as a museum or a conference center.
• Increased Efficiency: The compatibility with existing infrastructure streamlines the installation process. This leads to faster deployment and reduced costs associated with major infrastructure upgrades.
• Cost-Effectiveness: By leveraging existing systems, organisations can avoid the high costs associated with completely overhauling their audio infrastructure. This makes Aura a more cost-effective solution for improving accessibility.  

In essence, the seamless integration of Aura makes it easier and more efficient to implement in various settings, ultimately making it more accessible and affordable for organisations to improve hearing accessibility for their audiences.
