Summary
The SIG's five-step checklist for venues that have installed Auracast: a Standard Quality stream, registration, signage, staff preparation and promotion.
Key findings
- Step 1 asks venues to make a Standard Quality Public Broadcast Audio stream available for all audio they transmit, so that hearing aids, cochlear implants, earbuds and headphones can join.
- Step 2 asks venues to register with the SIG, which gives the right to use the Auracast trademarks and a chance of promotion, and also to register the location on Google Maps so that people searching for locations with Auracast can find it.
- Step 3 asks for clear signage: printing and posting the SIG's Auracast location graphics near entrances, counters, walls and seating areas.
- Step 4 asks venues to have staff try the Auracast receivers so that they can encourage and help visitors, to point staff to the SIG's product listing because many visitors may bring their own receivers, and to give staff "a few simple phrases or a script" to introduce Auracast.
- Step 5 asks venues to mention Auracast on their website, app, social media and event listings.
- The page's text does not ask venues to post the broadcast name, a QR code or a Broadcast Code; its signage step links to the same download as the Public Location Brand Guide.
Limits
Promotional guidance from the trademark owner, with no evidence that the steps raise use. It does not say whether Google Maps has an attribute for Auracast. The page is undated; it was read on 9 October 2026.
