Hearing loop and Auracast in Järvenskolan’s historic Auditorium

Summary

Univox reports a school auditorium using a loop over part of its seating, alongside Auracast and portable receivers.

Key findings

• The linked two-page case study describes a heritage-listed auditorium in Katrineholm, Sweden, used by pupils and the wider community.
• Page 2 says the loop was installed in the rear tiered area, covering approximately 60% of the auditorium’s total seating capacity, because there was no access beneath the front floor. Cable was mounted on vertical riser faces.
• Page 1 describes portable receivers with headphones and neckloops for people without compatible devices; it does not describe a loan or collection procedure.
• Univox reports mounting the Auracast transmitter high on the front wall to stream throughout the space. The equipment list includes portable receivers, headphones, neckloops and a charger.

Limits

Manufacturer coverage claims without occupied-room measurements, device test results or a listener sample. The 30 April 2026 date is on the announcement; the linked PDF is undated. Partial loop coverage must not be presented as coverage of every seat.
