Frequently Asked Questions

a*Titan is a California-based team of eight building a connectivity ecosystem on top of next-generation wireless communications. We harness Auracast™ and LE Audio over BLE to deliver a dynamic audio experience for both consumer and commercial users. We offer splitR®, a standalone device that transmits, receives, or bridges wired and wireless audio; splitR+™, a hub for whole-property control; and connectR™, an app that unifies Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal, and SoundCloud into one control plane.

Auracast™ is a next-generation Bluetooth® technology that lets one audio source broadcast to an unlimited number of receivers simultaneously. It enables wireless audio to an indefinite set of speakers with no traditional network or wiring—from personal listening in museums and places of worship to ad hoc surround sound in homes, venues, and commercial spaces.

Yes. splitR® works with virtually any speaker system: home stereo, car audio, portable Bluetooth® speakers, and legacy wired setups via 3.5mm aux or RCA. connectR™ runs on iOS and Android and works with major streaming services. You can also chain existing wired installations into an Auracast™ network with splitR® without replacing your current gear.

Auracast™ is a Bluetooth® broadcast feature that lets a single audio source stream to an unlimited number of nearby receivers— headphones, speakers, hearing aids—at the same time, in sync.

Classic Bluetooth® is point-to-point: one source pairs to one sink. Auracast™ is point-to-multipoint: one source broadcasts to unlimited sinks with no pairing handshake per listener. Auracast™ operates on a fraction of power with a higher fidelity sound.

Native support is rolling out across newer Android phones (Samsung Galaxy S24/S25, Pixel 9), select TVs, hearing aids, and earbuds shipping with Bluetooth® 5.2+ and LE Audio firmware. Most existing speakers, headphones, and pre-iPhone-15-era devices do not support Auracast™ natively—splitR bridges them onto the Auracast™ network so you don't have to replace what you already own.

LC3 (Low Complexity Communication Codec) is the mandatory codec for Bluetooth® LE Audio. It supports 48 kHz full-band audio at lower bitrates than SBC, with better quality, lower latency, and significantly reduced power consumption—enabling longer battery life on hearing aids, earbuds, and broadcast transmitters like splitR.

Standard Bluetooth® connects one-to-one. splitR® uses Auracast™ and LE Audio over BLE for one-to-many: you can stream to multiple speakers or headphones at once, or join a broadcast in progress. It can originate Auracast™ broadcasts, receive them, or bridge between wired and wireless audio—at home, in the gym, or in public venues.

splitR® works with virtually any speaker system: home stereo, car audio, portable Bluetooth® speakers, and legacy wired speakers. It supports 3.5mm aux and RCA. A key use case is extending existing wired systems so they can join an Auracast™ network and run in parallel with wireless speakers—no need to replace what you already have.

splitR+™ is our next-generation hub. Like splitR®, it transmits and receives Auracast™. Beyond that, it adds home hub integrations across major ecosystems—smart assistants, streaming services, and physical ports for high-end audio. splitR+™ can act as the control and routing hub for an entire property (residential or commercial) while still participating natively in Auracast™ networks.

Yes. connectR™ can be used without splitR® to access cross-platform music services. We recommend splitR® to get the most out of connectR™—including device configuration and playback across the ecosystem.

Many phones and laptops do not yet support Auracast™ natively, even with Bluetooth® 5.2+. splitR® lets you broadcast or receive Auracast™ audio from any source—including devices that don’t support Auracast™ on their own. Plug splitR® in, and your existing gear joins the future of wireless audio.

splitR® has a range of up to 90 feet (30 meters) in optimal conditions; actual range may vary with obstacles and interference. On a single charge you get up to 12 hours of continuous transmission or 16 hours of reception. Battery life depends on usage. The device recharges via USB-C.

Connect splitR® to your speaker with the right cable, download the connectR™ app, and follow the in-app pairing steps. Setup typically takes under five minutes.

splitR® works with virtually any speaker system: home stereo, car audio, portable Bluetooth® speakers, and legacy wired speakers. It supports 3.5mm aux and RCA. You can chain a wired installation into an Auracast™ network so it runs alongside wireless speakers.

One splitR® can broadcast to multiple listeners at once over Auracast™. The exact number depends on the environment; typical setups support 10+ concurrent listeners.

Three things: splitR+™ broadcasts up to 5 Auracast™ channels at once (splitR® runs one), ships with pro I/O (HDMI ARC, Ethernet, 6.35mm jack, Optical/S/PDIF, Wi-Fi with AirPlay 2), and is built for venue-scale deployments. splitR® is the pocket adapter; splitR+™ is the hub.

Five independent Auracast™ broadcasts stream from a single splitR+™. Any input — TV, mixer, mic, streaming app — can feed any channel. Listeners pick the channel they want on their own phone, earbuds, or hearing aid.

Yes. Put each language on its own Auracast™ channel and attendees tune into the one they need. The same setup replaces dedicated assistive-listening hardware: hard-of-hearing visitors get broadcast audio straight to their hearing aids — no loaner receivers.

HDMI ARC, Ethernet, 6.35mm mono jack, Optical (S/PDIF), and Wi-Fi with AirPlay 2. Any input can be routed to any of the five Auracast™ broadcast channels.

Yes — it's designed for venues. Restaurants, retail, gyms, hotels, transit hubs, museums, and places of worship are the target deployments. Pairs with connectR PRO™ for multi-site scheduling and audit-ready logs.

3-year extended warranty, priority customer support, and access to exclusive firmware updates.

connectR™ unifies Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal, and SoundCloud into one control plane. You can create and share playlists across services, share music with friends on different platforms, and manage device configuration and playback. It also integrates with home hub functionality and splitR+™ for whole-property orchestration.

connectR™ can work with splitR® to create audio broadcasts and mesh your equipment even while offline. Accessing third-party streaming services and playback will require network availability.

Yes. connectR™ can be used without splitR® to access cross-platform music services. We recommend splitR® to fully use connectR™ for device configuration and playback across the ecosystem.
