William AV Launches WF T5C

William AV, a global leader in hearing assistance technology, has launched the latest version of its popular WaveCAST C Wi-Fi audio system, the WF T5C. This device has been designed to help tackle Australia’s growing hearing loss epidemic, which is currently impacting more than 3.6 million Australians, with the number expected to double to 7.8 million by 2060.

Promoting inclusivity and collaboration in any setting, the WF T5C is set to empower people with hearing difficulties to fully participate in any scenario — from boardrooms to classrooms. Featuring advanced integration capabilities with third-party room systems, this system makes it easier than ever to control and monitor audio levels from any Ethernet-connected device. 

The WF T5C is built on a hardware-based digital signal processors (DSP) audio system architecture, letting system optimisation achieve the highest quality experience for the particular audio stream being delivered. It is designed to meet accessibility requirements in any setting where background noise, room acoustics, or distance from the sound source presents a listening challenge.  

With the new WF T5C version, audio professionals can now use Telnet commands to adjust audio input gain, change DSP settings, access the volume unit (VU) meter to verify audio levels, view or update WaveCAST Network settings, and set channel names — all through Ethernet-connected devices. 

Features:

• Real-time audio over Wi-Fi platform 
• Hardware-based DSP audio system architecture for optimised audio stream quality 
• 16-bit digital to analog convertor (DAC) with 48Khz sample rate for smooth digital stream and minimised digital harshness 
• Supports up to four WaveCAST C systems on the same Wi-Fi network for multiple listening channels 
• Supports 45 users in unicast mode and 1,500+ users in multicast mode 
• Custom presets for specific performance applications 
• Hearing assistance optimised for hearing loss, high-fidelity music playback, and maximum speech intelligibility 
• Integrates with third-party room systems 
• Can be controlled with Telnet commands via Ethernet 

Telnet commands include:

• Adjustable audio input gain
• Ability to change DSP settings
• Access to VU meter to verify audio levels
• Ability to view and update WaveCAST Network settings
• View or set channel name

The WF T5C audio system promotes inclusivity and collaboration, empowering people with hearing difficulties to fully participate in social, educational, and professional settings. Whether it’s a business meeting, classroom lecture, or community event, the WF T5C ensures that everyone can hear and be heard.
