An audio-guide is an electronic system similar to that of a music player that allows custom guided tours.

Its function is based on giving detailed information about the work, object or location you are viewing. Such information can be historical, technique or a dramatisation to acclimate to the visitor.

The audio guides are often available in multiple languages and are offered for rent to enter museums (sometimes included in the value of the entry) and collected by a Manager to his departure from the Museum.

How does it works?

The view of a museum or enclosure that offers this service is marked with numbered signs which, following a logical order, show which parts of the visit have their corresponding explanation in audio.

Thereafter the person can choose the route to follow based on their tastes. Through the audioguide the visitor selects the number of the work on which you want to be informed and the audio guide presents information.

An audioguide can go with earphones or external speaker which is placed next to the ear.

¿Qué aplicaciones tiene?

The audioguide can be found in museums, exhibitions, art galleries, private venues or locations outdoors.

Today, many institutions offer rental of apparatus or the option to download it and can listen to it from your Mp3 player or mobile device. At Fabulor we offer both services.
