Audio Guide Equipment for Museums

Radio guides, audio guides and digital solutions for museums and tourist routes

The right equipment depends on the type of visit and the visitor profile. A radio guide makes sense for group visits with a human guide. A multimedia audio guide makes sense for exhibitions with video content. A simple audio guide system makes sense for exhibitions with audio content in multiple languages. A webApp by QR code may be enough for a space that provides internet access to its visitors.
We provide a full range of equipment, always integrated with the audio and video content produced by our team. You can purchase the equipment alone or as a package with content.

What is the difference between a radio guide and an audio guide?

A radio guide is for group visits with a human guide: the guide speaks into a transmitter and everyone hears through the receivers. An audio guide is for individual visits without a guide: the visitor accesses pre-recorded content by typing the point of interest number. They are two systems for different situations and can coexist in the same space.

Does the equipment synchronise with exhibition videos?

Yes. The robust and multimedia audio guides support synchronisation with videos via SMPTE timecode. The visitor sees the video on the equipment in sync with the corresponding audio, in the selected language.

What is the battery life per day?

The radio guide lasts up to 19 hours. The simple audio guide up to 25 hours. The robust up to 18 hours. All support a full day of visits without intermediate charging.

Does the equipment have accessibility features?

Yes. The radio guide has an induction loop for visitors with hearing aids. The robust audio guide has a raised key keyboard for visitors with visual impairments and is compatible with induction loops. The multimedia audio guide has a high contrast screen and vibration function.

Does the voice content come pre-loaded on the audio guide equipment?

Yes. When purchasing the audio guide equipment and content package, everything is integrated by our team, ready for the exhibition opening.
