Setting the Standard for Audio Tours
Equipped with two standard headphone jacks, it allows all guests to enjoy the tour without interruption, even during peak hours. The compatibility with induction loops ensures that no one misses a word. This versatile audio guide can accommodate multiple tours in various languages, catering to a diverse audience. Our user-friendly Content Management System provides you with the flexibility to make countless adjustments to tours and content with ease. All Orpheo audio tour systems are designed and manufactured in Europe, with dedicated service available in New York.
Auto Triggering & Video Sync
Orpheo audio guides and multimedia players are equipped for automatic triggering and video synchronisation using Infrared technology. This feature allows the devices to play specific audio messages automatically in predefined zones, enabling visitors to explore the tour hands-free and in complete autonomy—ideal for experiences that include light shows, for example. Automatic triggering is also particularly beneficial for visitors with disabilities.
Importantly, the triggered commentary is played in the language selected by the visitor, ensuring a personalised experience. Since all audio content is stored directly on the audio guides, once the signal is received, the playback commentary continues seamlessly without interruption.
Exceptional Battery Life
One of the key advantages of the Orpheo Mikro LX is its impressive battery life, offering over 18 hours of continuous operation.
The charging rack can store and charge up to 24 Mikro LX devices simultaneously, requiring minimal staff intervention. The devices can remain plugged into a wall outlet, staying powered-on, and are fully recharged within 6 hours.
Additionally, the charging rack simplifies content management, with the ability to upload languages or audio tracks to 23 devices at once. This feature makes content transfer and device management both efficient and hassle-free.
