Williams Sound WF T5, WaveCAST assistive listening system
The Williams Sound WF T5 (Wave CAST) is a Wi-Fi platform which is designed for pro-audio applications where high-quality sound is required. This Williams Sound WF T5 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 Williams Sound WF T5 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. Also, the Williams Sound WF T5 has 16-bit DAC provides a 48Khz sample rate for a smooth digital stream and minimizes digital harshness. Williams Sound WF T5 supports both unicast and multicast network configurations. Up to four WF T5 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 Williams Sound WF T5 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 Williams Sound WF T5 app provides an easy-to-use, intuitive user interface and is available in iOS or Android. Listeners easily select channel and volume level once their personal device is connected to the Wi-Fi network.
