Williams AV BA CT1 Infinium controller and transmitter

General Description

The Williams AV BA CT1 Infinium is a real-time audio over Auracast system comprising a controller and separate transmitter. 

Auracast is a new standard for Bluetooth Low Energy audio transmission which enables audio sharing to an unlimited number of users. 

The controller integrates smoothly into AV networks, with an analogue input and a Dante® input (supporting two Dante® channels). It supports stereo and mono transmission which can be open (public) or encrypted (private). Users can easily configure, monitor, and troubleshoot via the front panel or web interface.

The audio inputs are microphone/line input via combination XLR/Jack or phoenix connector for channel 1(left), line level via phoenix connector for channel 2 (right) and two channel Dante® via RJ 45. 

The controller can be free-standing or installed into a standard 19” rack. Up to 2 controllers can occupy 1 unit of rack space (optional rack mount kits are available separately).

The low-profile transmitter looks like a Wi-Fi access point and can be free-standing or ceiling/wall mounted using the supplied bracket.

The user can select the audio stream(s) by via their Auracast enabled earphones, headphones, earbuds, hearing aids, etc or a dedicated Auracast receiver such as the Infinium BA R1.
