Pro Audio Streamers from Sonifex
Published: PRODUCTS
Sonifex's Pro Audio Streamers allow audio to be streamed around a building using IP audio and Cat-5 cabling infrastructure. There are three professional audio IP streamers in the new range providing encoding and decoding in different formats. The PS-Send converts an audio input to an IP stream, the PS-Play reads an IP stream and outputs to balanced and unbalanced audio line levels and the PS-Amp reads an IP stream and outputs audio to stereo speakers. Each unit also has an ethernet web server to allow configuration.
The PS-Send can receive audio from a number of user selectable external sources including balanced and unbalanced analogue audio, as well as AES/EBU and S/PDIF digital. Once an audio source is selected, the unit encodes the audio and sends it to the network. The PS-Send has six GPIs which can be used to trigger the sending of the audio stream and this signal can also trigger an output relay on the PS-Play and PS-Amp.
Once the audio data has been sent to the network, PS-Play and PS-Amp can be used to output audio. For the PS-Play this is through balanced and unbalanced line level analogue outputs and AES and S/PDIF digital outputs. For the PS-Amp, this is as direct speaker drivers via a Class-D audio amplifier.
Each of the playout units have volume and source selection controls via a serial port and Ethernet port and by an infrared remote control unit. There is also a USB socket enabling direct play out via memory stick and there are1U rackmount versions of all of the products.
