Listen Technologies, Ampetronics, Show Auri at CFX 2026Listen Technologies, the provider of wireless listening solutions, and Ampetronic, the maker of hearing loop systems, are at Church Facilities Expo (CFX) 2026, September 14-16, in the HWPco booth (501) to demonstrate Auri, the listening assistance device. The show is at the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Center in Birmingham, Alabama. Auri leverages Auracast broadcast audio, a new Bluetooth capability, to deliver high-quality, low-latency audio directly to listeners' compatible hearing aids, earbuds, headphones, cochlear devices, or dedicated receivers. The Auri system includes transmitters, receivers, docking stations, Auri Neck Loops, Auri Manager software, and a line of accessories. When offered with dedicated receivers, signage, and neck loops, Auri is compliant with ADA and global requirements for assistive listening. The product can be used as a stand-alone solution or to complement and extend coverage of an existing assistive listening system. Auri requires no retrofitting or remodeling and can be used in historic and listed buildings. Its transmitters are small units, about the size of a Wi-Fi access point, that can be mounted on ceilings or walls. They are available in black or white to blend seamlessly into a venue's design aesthetic, the company says. The two-channel Auri transmitter connects to the facility's sound system and broadcasts audio to unlimited Auracast-enabled devices within range. Multiple transmitters can be installed to increase channel counts and range. Facility managers can easily manage the system with intuitive Auri Manager software. In houses of worship featuring the Auri system, listeners with Auracast-enabled hearing aids, earbuds, headphones, or other wearables can access the broadcast stream and hear the church audio directly in their ears. If listeners do not have an Auracast-enabled listening device, they can borrow an Auri receiver and listen to venue audio with connected headphones or earbuds. Auri Neck Loops are available for listeners with telecoil-equipped hearing aids and Cochlear devices to hear the broadcast. In addition to individuals with hearing loss or who wear hearing aids or cochlear devices, Auri can help when noise, distance, unfamiliar accents, or acoustics make hearing clearly difficult. It can help listeners focus or hear audio outside the sanctuary (e.g., in a cry room). Multiple channels mean transmitters can broadcast audio for more than just assistive listening, the company says. They can broadcast audio from silent screens or deliver audio description and language interpretation.
