Today’s visitors are accustomed to a multimedia environment in which programming captures attention with entertainment and then delivers an educational message.

What’s more, nearly everyone who has visited a museum or historic site, zoo or science center has some experience with an audio guide. Many have come to expect one. In addition, audio programs are increasingly used as sales tools for commercial applications. Meeting your visitors’ or clients’ expectations at the door is just a small part of what you can accomplish with Acoustiguide.

With nearly 50 years of experience in the field and in the studio, we can help you:

• Fulfill your educational mission. Research proves that visitors who access Acoustiguide interpretations learn more about exhibitions — and enjoy them more, whether they are looking at paintings in a gallery or motorcycles in a showroom. Our conclusions are based on a series of surveys at client sites.

• Become accessible to new audiences. Acoustiguide helps you reach out to families, those with sight and mobility impairments and visitors of every language, ethnic and economic background. We partner with our clients to expand audiences. Our successful children’s tours and programs for the visually impaired are just the beginning, and we've produced tours in 20 languages.

• Reach those who learn by seeing and hearing. Educators know that there are three ways people learn — by seeing, hearing and writing. Audio programs help you educate the widest possible audience by reaching out to those who need more than visual displays to learn and retain information.

• Create a value-added service. An audio program demonstrates that you’re committed to offering an exceptional experience that goes beyond simply providing information. Visitors will come back for more and will share what they’ve learned with family and friends.

• Manage crowds. Our creative solutions and technical innovations can help move visitors through your space smoothly and efficiently. If you are expecting large crowds during peak periods, we can configure the program to include an engaging orientation, or we can develop shorter programs to accommodate more visitors per day.

• Generate revenue. For many clients, audio programs are valued sources of income. Acoustiguide offers several financing options, including equipment leasing and per-visitor fee structures. When appropriate, we can support your fundraising efforts.
