Williams AV has launched the second-generation dedicated WiFi audio received for assistive listening, the WAV Pro WiFi Receiver.

The WAV Pro WiFi Receiver uses a new mobile device optimised to be a dedicated assistive listening device. The WAV Pro WiFi Receiver’s large, 6.8” HD+ Infinity display and long runtime make it unique. The large display allows for easier readability for administrators during setup and end-users when using the device.

Additionally, the WAV Pro Receiver’s 6,000mAh Lithium Polymer battery delivers up to 40 hours of continuous audio streaming in normal use conditions, reducing charging frequency.

Williams AV was the first in the industry to launch a dedicated WiFi receiver, the WAV Classic WiFi Receiver, for assistive listening in 2016 to accompany their WaveCAST WiFi transmitters.

“We have a long history of innovation in assistive communications products and a strong connection to our customers,” Williams AV president Brad Kautzer says.

“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.”
