Assisted Listening at LOPC
LOPC has recently installed an Auracast™ broadcast audio system in the Sanctuary. Auracast is a new wireless technology built on Bluetooth® LE (Low Energy) Audio that allows a single transmitter to broadcast audio to an unlimited number of nearby receivers simultaneously. Operating much like a localized radio tower or a public Wi-Fi network, Auracast allows us to broadcast high-quality, low-latency audio directly into your hearing aids or via a device with wired earbuds provided by LOPC.
