Vox VDR and MicroGuide: the new standards for guided tour systems

3 September 2024

In a world where the visitor experience is at the heart of cultural institutions' concerns, Vox, a leader in self-contained guided tour systems, offers with the Vox VDR and the MicroGuide an innovative answer combining cutting-edge technology and ergonomic design, for museums, historic monuments and sightseeing tours.

Vox VDR: a new-generation guided tour system

The flagship of group tour systems, the Vox VDR combines a compact design, light weight and technological performance. It is built on new-generation patented technology, ensuring clear, flawless audio transmission.

The Vox VDR operates on the new 1.9 GHz frequency band, recently authorised by the ART (Telecommunications Regulatory Authority). This frequency complies with future European regulations and guarantees interference-free transmission quality, essential in environments often crowded with various signals.

Its digital audio quality allows participants to enjoy their guide's commentary to the full, even at a distance. With a 20-hour battery life, the system covers an entire day without interruption, ideal for extended tours.

Ease of use and freedom of movement

The Vox VDR stands out for its ease of use: the guide chooses a transmission channel from the 99 available, and the group's receivers synchronise automatically in less than 2 seconds. This feature reduces handling and ensures that every member of the group stays connected to the commentary, without interruption or technical complexity.

With a range of 200 metres, visitors move freely around cultural spaces, from vast museums to outdoor sites, while remaining attentive to the guide's explanations.

MicroGuide: compact, lightweight and high-performing

For institutions seeking to maximise visitor comfort while maintaining exceptional audio quality, the MicroGuide stands out as the ideal solution. As high-performing as the Vox VDR, it is distinguished by its ultra-compact design.

Weighing just 29 grams and measuring 5.5 cm x 6.0 cm x 1.6 cm, the MicroGuide redefines compactness in guided tour systems. Its micro-clip guarantees secure, discreet attachment to clothing or a lanyard, with no risk of loss or discomfort.

Like the Vox VDR, the MicroGuide offers a battery life of more than 20 hours. Its smart charging dock makes recharging quick and easy, ensuring the equipment is always ready for use.

The future of guided tours

Specially designed for museums, historic sites and cultural institutions, the Vox VDR and MicroGuide systems guarantee impeccable audio transmission and ease of use suited to all audiences, for temporary exhibitions, regular tours or special events. Audio quality, battery life, range, comfort: these devices set new standards and represent the choice of a modern, high-performing and enjoyable guided tour for everyone.
