Product Overview

The SAG Series Self-guided Audio Guide is a commercial-grade portable audio playback system engineered for museums, heritage sites, exhibition centers, and public visitor tours. Designed to withstand high-frequency public handling, the hardware integrates a high-impact ABS-PC enclosure, multi-trigger synchronization architecture (RF, Infrared, and GPS), and a high-density lithium-polymer power system.

Batch device management, content updates, and firmware flashing are handled centrally via dedicated docking and data-sync racks, processing up to 60 units simultaneously through a single terminal connection.

Product Types / Configuration

Model	Trigger Technology	Memory Capacity	Target Deployment Environment
SAG-RF100	2.4GHz RF Multi-channel	8GB / 16GB Flash	Multi-zone indoor galleries, large museums
SAG-IR200	Directional Infrared (IR)	16GB Flash	Precise exhibit-specific point-to-play spaces
SAG-GPS300	GPS / Beidou Dual-mode	32GB Flash	Open-air heritage sites, botanical gardens, outdoor parks

Key Features

Impact-Resistant Enclosure

Injection-molded from engineering-grade flame-retardant ABS-PC alloy, engineered to survive everyday drop impacts during visitor handling.

Antimicrobial Surface Treatment

Casing compound infused with silver-ion masterbatch additives to inhibit bacterial proliferation across multi-user shifts.

Multi-Language Capacity

Onboard firmware supports up to 32 independent audio channels for simultaneous multi-language deployments.

Low-Power Audio Processing

ARM Cortex-M4 core combined with a high-efficiency audio codec yields up to 18 hours of continuous playback per charge cycle.

Asset Management Integration

Optional integrated RFID tracking tags embedded within the device housing for automated inventory control.

FAQ

Q: What is the typical MOQ for custom OEM branding (logo printing and custom casing colors)?

A: The minimum order quantity for custom logo silk-screening is 100 units. For custom Pantone color matching and customized plastic injection tooling, the MOQ is 1,000 units. Standard stock units without custom branding are available from 50 units.

Q: How many audio guides can be synchronized or charged simultaneously?

A: Our standard matching charging carts and racks are configured in 30-slot and 60-slot modules. Each rack connects to a host system via hub architecture, allowing batch transfer of audio files and firmware updates to all docked units simultaneously in under 8 minutes.

Q: What prevents audio interference between closely positioned exhibits?

A: The system utilizes directional Infrared (IR) narrow-beam transmitters or zoned low-power wireless beacons. The IR signal is strictly confined to line-of-sight within a designated exhibit zone (adjustable from 1 to 4 meters), preventing audio spillover into adjacent galleries.

Q: What is the battery lifespan, and are replacement batteries available?

A: The internal 1200mAh Lithium-Polymer battery retains at least 80% of its initial capacity after 500 full charge-discharge cycles. Batteries are user-serviceable by maintenance staff using standard modular connectors secured with internal fasteners, avoiding the need to discard the entire device.

Q: Does the hardware require proprietary software for content management?

A: No. The audio guide is recognized as an external mass storage device when docked. Content managers can organize audio tracks simply by dragging and dropping numbered audio files into designated folder structures. Optional management software is available for automated playlist generation and multi-language script mapping.

Q: What international compliance standards are met by these devices?

A: All units are built to comply with major international electronic safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and environmental directives required for global commercial deployment, including standard hazardous substance restrictions and regional radio frequency regulations.
