Auracast

Auracast is a new Bluetooth audio transmission technology that enables audio content to be shared wirelessly with multiple nearby devices. This allows, for example, multiple receivers to listen to the same audio stream simultaneously.

  • An Auracast transmitter (BMS mode) starts an Auracast transmission and broadcasts the currently playing Bluetooth audio stream as a broadcast signal. This signal can be received by all compatible Auracast receivers within range without requiring a separate connection for each device.
  • An Auracast receiver (BMR mode) scans for available Auracast transmissions nearby and enables connection to and playback of available audio streams.

  • If there is an active Bluetooth connection, the Auracast broadcast transmitter (BMS) is switched on or off; the LED indicator lights blue (Classic Bluetooth) or light blue (BMS).
  • If no Bluetooth connection is present, the Auracast broadcast receiver (BMR) is activated. The LED flashes purple while searching for available Auracast broadcasts in the surrounding area and lights up continuously purple once a connection has been established.
  • The device searches for available Auracast transmitters (BMS) and connects to an available transmitter.

Long button press (2 seconds)
