The Humantechnik earisMAX is a compact and lightweight streaming microphone that can easily be attached to clothing. It transmits speech either through classic Bluetooth mode or as an Auracast stream. In Bluetooth mode, audio is received by one device, while Auracast mode allows an unlimited number of compatible receivers to join the stream.
Its 3.5 mm audio input also makes it possible to transmit sound from an external audio source. That makes it useful with a laptop, tablet or other audio device. The built-in rechargeable battery allows freedom of movement during use and charges via USB-C. A USB power adapter is not included.
The sampling rate can be changed with a slide switch. This is useful because some Auracast-compatible playback devices, including certain hearing aids, only support 24 kHz, while 48 kHz provides the best audio quality.

What’s in the box
Simple explanation
This is a small wireless microphone that sends someone’s voice or other audio directly to a hearing aid, receiver or other compatible device. You can clip it onto clothing and carry it easily. Extra useful: with Auracast, multiple listeners can hear the same stream at the same time.
Kleine kanttekening voordat de boel braaf de shop in wandelt: op de bronpagina staat codec “AA” genoemd. Dat oogt een tikje merkwaardig en kan een typfout op de leverancierpagina zijn, dus die zou ik nog even dubbelchecken bij Humantechnik voordat je hem definitief publiceert.
