A BroadcastVision Entertainment Company
AudioFetch Express 5 is a compact and cost-effective solution that uses WiFi to transmit high-quality, low-latency audio from one or two televisions, set-top boxes, or other audio sources to personal mobile devices like smartphones and tablets. Works with most smartphone-connected hearing aids.
Integrated WiFi can operate in 2.4GHz or 5GHz band and be configured as an Access Point, or can be connected hard-wired or wirelessly into a pre-existing WiFi network, making it a simple installation for fitness clubs, sports bars, movie theaters, waiting rooms, meetings, conventions or wherever users need convenient, wireless access to in-house audio sources.

“Audio quality is really great … it’s a beautiful system … it’s wonderful, it really is, …the price is right”
“My senior-age members love the ease-of-use. The AudioFetch App functions well and is easy to use across all the devices we’ve encountered. I really like that the product is easy to install and maintenance-free. The one time I had a question, the support was very good.”
“We used the tour pack [FetchExpress for Tour Guide application] and it made a world of difference on the training session. Thank you!!”
