WaveCAST C Wi-Fi Audio System

WF T5C
WaveCAST C is a real-time audio over Wi-Fi platform designed for pro-audio applications where high-quality sound is required. Its integration with third-party room systems allows AV professionals to control and monitor the WaveCAST C using Telnet commands via Ethernet.

Audio is streamed to an app on personal devices or a Wi-Fi receiver, which can be used for assistive listening and other purposes.

WaveCAST C is a Wi-Fi audio platform designed for pro-audio applications where high-quality sound is required. The audio is streamed to an app on personal devices or a Wi-Fi receiver, which can be used for assistive listening and other purposes. WaveCAST C integrates with third-party room systems allowing AV professionals to control with Telnet commands via Ethernet.

It is built on a hardware-based DSP audio system architecture, allowing system optimization to achieve the highest quality experience for the particular audio stream being delivered. Hearing assistance can be optimized for hearing loss, music can be optimized for high-fidelity playback, and voice can be set for maximum speech intelligibility. Custom pre-sets can also be established for specific performance applications.

Professional audio inputs on the WaveCAST C include 1/4” XLR connectors, phantom power, and a line level output jack. In addition to multi-stage gain control inputs, the DSP features include AGC, limiters, high and low pass filter, and adjustable range compressor control. The 16-bit DAC provides a 48Khz sample rate for a smooth digital stream and minimizes digital harshness. WaveCAST C supports both unicast and multicast network configurations. Up to four WaveCAST C systems can be connected to the same Wi-Fi network to provide multiple listening channels — supporting 45 users in unicast mode or 1500+ users in multicast mode.

The WaveCAST C can have most settings changed via the front panel interface or the hosted web interface. A remote programming guide is available upon request.

The new WaveCAST app provides an easy-to-use, intuitive user interface and is available on iOS or Android. Listeners easily select channel and volume level once their personal device is connected to the Wi-Fi network.
