Our New Sampler Series: Audio on Point

by Stefan Huber on May 08, 2025

Whether at recycling centers, in museums or public places, or in parking garages – targeted audio playback can inform, guide, and surprise/entertain visitors. Our new sampler series brings audio where it's needed – at precisely the right moment.

 

What is a Sampler?

Our samplers are compact audio playback devices with integrated memory. They automatically play pre-stored audio content as soon as a specific event occurs – for example, motion or the application of voltage. The possibilities are almost limitless:


•    Visitor guidance in large buildings and museums
•    Information at recycling centers ("Please separate your waste")
•    Greeting guests in public places, companies, etc.
•    Sound effects or background music in exhibitions
•    Experience worlds – up to "experience restrooms"

 

An Overview of Our Five Sampler Models

 

As soon as the included motion sensor detects activity, the sampler reliably plays the same track – ideal for welcome announcements or clear instructions like "Please follow the yellow line."

 

The PowerPlay automatically starts a playlist as soon as it is powered on – and stops when the power is interrupted. Perfect, for example, for rooms where music should be switched on together with the light. 

 

  • MotionPlay Random – Always New

This model provides variety: when motion is detected, a random track from the memory is played. Ideal for exhibitions where different information or sounds are intended to attract attention.

 

  • MotionPlay Random Solar – Freedom through Solar Energy

For outdoor use without a power supply: This device is solar-powered and plays random content when motion is detected – ideal for parks, pedestrian zones, or nature trails.

 

The complete solution for outdoors: weather-resistant, protected against vandalism, including solar panel, battery, sampler, and motion sensor – all in one housing with pole mounting. Quick to install and immediately ready for use.


From Public Spaces to Experience Restrooms


Our samplers are already part of many exciting projects – from interactive visitor guides to sound installations in rather unexpected places. For example, an experience restroom was equipped with several different samplers to surprise visitors upon entering and leave a lasting impression.

At Cineplex Pfaffenhofen, this technology is used to create an extraordinary audio atmosphere in the "experience restrooms." On the Cineplex Pfaffenhofen reference page, a video is available that impressively illustrates the special soundscape.

Conclusion: Small Devices, Big Impact


Whether as part of an accessible visitor guide, as an information point at the recycling center, or as a highlight in an exhibition – our sampler series opens new ways to use audio specifically and automatically. Curious?
