- Use Your Existing Listening Devices – Receive Auracast on a compatible iPhone or Android phone through supported Bluetooth headphones, earbuds or hearing aids, even if the phone and listening device lack built-in Auracast.
- Check Audio Delay Before Buying – Bluetooth headphones and hearing aids add delay after phone playback. Not recommended for live theater, indoor concerts or listening alongside live sound where echo would be distracting.
- Venucast Connect App Required – Find and join available public or password-protected Auracast broadcasts in the app.
- Check Phone & Hearing-Aid Compatibility – USB-C phones must support USB audio. Older Lightning iPhones require a compatible data-and-audio adapter, sold separately. Hearing aids must support audio streaming from your specific phone. Bluetooth app controls alone are not enough.
- Compact & Phone-Powered – Connect to a compatible phone without charging a separate receiver battery.
- An Auracast Broadcast Is Required – Use a compatible Auracast transmitter or an existing broadcast at your location. Aura C receives broadcasts; it does not create them.

Where it fits
Audio-Only Listening
Consider Aura C when some delay is acceptable and you do not hear the same live sound directly.
Interpretation & Commentary
An option when precise timing with the speaker or event is not essential. Test your complete setup first.
TV & Video: Check Delay
Bluetooth listening may cause visible lip-sync delay. Not recommended when synchronized sound is essential.
Live Sound: Not Recommended
Avoid theaters, live music and listening alongside the same live sound if delay or echo would be distracting.

05 · Common questions
Common questions
Will Aura C work with my Bluetooth headphones or hearing aids?
Yes, if they can already play audio from your phone via Bluetooth. Pair them with the phone first. Aura C connects to the phone, not directly to USB-C headphones.
How much audio delay should I expect?
Approximately 80 ms to phone playback in our tests with selected iPhone, Samsung and Pixel models using the low-latency AirCast transmitter. Bluetooth headphones or hearing aids add further delay. Actual latency varies by setup.
Can I use Aura C with an older Lightning iPhone?
Yes, with a compatible Lightning-to-USB-C audio adapter (not included). View a tested example. Data support alone does not guarantee compatibility.
Do I also need an Auracast transmitter?
Yes, unless the venue or location already provides an Auracast broadcast. Aura C only receives broadcasts; it does not create them.
Can one Aura C serve multiple listeners?
One Aura C supports one phone and its selected audio output. For multiple listeners, each person needs their own Aura C setup or another compatible Auracast receiver.
How does Aura C choose the audio output?
Connected Bluetooth headphones or hearing aids are used automatically. If none are connected, sound plays through the phone speaker.
On Android, you can also select the output manually in Aura C settings. On iPhone, output selection is automatic.
