Williams AV has announced the launch of the WAV Pro Wi-Fi Receiver, a second-generation dedicated Wi-Fi audio receiver that uses a new mobile device optimized for dedicated assistive listening applications.
It has a 6.8-inch HD+ Infinity display that’s designed to allow for easier readability for administrators during setup and end-users when using the device. In addition, the WAV Pro Receiver’s 6000 mAh Lithium Polymer battery is stated to deliver up to 40 hours of continuous audio streaming in normal use conditions.
The WAV Pro Wi-Fi Receiver meets ADA hearing compliance for a dedicated assistive listening device, and it is Bluetooth-enabled to stream audio to Bluetooth-enabled headphones, speakers, and hearing aid telecoils when used with a Williams AV neckloop.
“We have a long history of innovation in assistive communications products and a strong connection to our customers,” says Brad Kautzer, president of Williams AV. “Our customers challenged us to develop a receiver with a larger display for readability and easier product management and longer run times. We embraced this challenge, and the WAV Pro Receiver delivers on both requirements using a brand-new mobile device. In addition, this receiver’s robust platform allows us to add functionality for future product enhancements.”
Williams AV debuted the WAV Classic Wi-Fi Receiver for assistive listening in 2016 to accompany its WaveCAST Wi-Fi transmitters. In addition, the company further grew its real-time audio over Wi-Fi product line by adding dual Wi-Fi and FM and Wi-Fi and IR-enabled transmitters.
