The record-breaking moment took place at half time on 29 March, when hundreds of supporters gathered in the stands and across the stadium
connected and played Majority Move WR Bluetooth speakers in unison from a single audio source. It was made possible by Auracast Bluetooth technology, as featured in the Majority Move WR speaker which joins the current range of Majority Move speakers. Auracast allows the broadcast of a sound signal to several speakers or headphones at once. The coordinated playback surpassed the previous world record of 1,000 speakers, held by JBL since 2017, marking a
landmark achievement for both the club and Majority. In preparation for the attempt, attendees were invited to collect a Majority Move WR speaker upon arrival. Families, local schools and members of the Cambridge community joined together for the attempt, each activating their device simultaneously during the half-time break. Participants were able to take the speaker home as a thank-you in helping break the world record.
