Summary
A maker's page for a desk unit that combines a small induction loop and an Auracast transmitter, with its specifications.
Key findings
- Describes AuraLoop as the first hybrid product on the market, combining a magnetic induction loop and an Auracast transmitter in one desk unit, so that a listener at a reception desk receives the audio through a hearing device's T position or through Auracast.
- Lists an induction loop range of 3 m, an Auracast range of 30 m in free field at 3 dBm, a 16 kHz LC3 stream only, connection by QR code or password, automatic gain control, and battery or mains power.
- Claims sound quality "without interference or latency", without giving a latency figure for either path.
- States that 50% of hearing aids will have Auracast by 2026 and estimates 100% by 2030, without a source, and tells buyers: "Don't choose one solution over another, choose both!"
- The linked installation manual, V1.0, gives a magnetic-field range of 1.10 m in the technical specifications on printed p. 10. Printed p. 20 dates that manual to March 2025 and associates it with firmware v1.2.0. It supplies no range-test protocol or field-strength threshold at that distance. The archived French manual is linked at https://aurabyopus.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Manuel-utilisation-Auraloop-V1.pdf.
Limits
The maker's own marketing, with no test data. The maker's user manual (version 1.0, March 2025, firmware 1.2.0) gives the magnetic field range as 1.10 m and states that the unit meets the requirements of EN 60118-4, and it gives the battery life as both 4 and 10 hours; none of this is independently measured. The date is the page's last update (first published 10 July 2024).
