Auri Brings Reliable, Inclusive Audio to Birmingham Hippodrome

Summary

A theatre installation account describes selectable show audio and audio description, plus early selection difficulties.

Key findings

• The case study dates installation to July 2025 and says the system carries touring show feeds for all performances and audio description for selected shows, selectable on loan receivers or compatible personal devices.
• It reports initial difficulties with familiarity and stream selection, addressed through staff training, documentation and careful programme naming.
• It reports fewer complaints and less maintenance time but says formal feedback is still at an early stage.

Limits

Maker account with no listener count, selection-error figures, before-and-after totals or independent testing. No publication date is shown; July 2025 is the installation date. It does not describe the radio subgroup layout or quantify programme capacity.
