Make Connections With AEQ IP Audio Codecs
IP Audio Codecs allow to to create high quality, bi-directional, real-time audio connections over IP data networks.
GET STARTEDIP Audio Codecs...
IP Audio Codecs allows high quality, real-time to way audio communication between two locations via standard IP data networks. This means you can use Audio Codecs within your radio station or to connect to remote locations using standard data links.
Our range of AEQ IP Audio Codecs support multiple protocols to allow you to select the right balance of audio quality and bandwidth to match your situation. In most cases, the OPUS format provides very high quality audio over even modest data links but if you need to connect to older equipment using MP3 format, that is also possible.
AEQ Audio Codecs can connect using RTP for simple use within your own LAN/WAN (with know IP addresses) or SIP protocol for more fluid situations such as outside broadcasts or mobile reporting.
The AEQ Phoenix range offers codecs in a number of different physical configurations to suit all broadcast scenarios.
Applications include:
- Link Remote Studios
- Broadcasting From Home
- Studio To Transmitter Links (STL)
- Outside Broadcasts
- Mobile Reporting & Commentary
- Interfacing With Legacy Equipment (i.e. ISDN on the Stratos)

Phoenix AlioList Item 4
With ALIO, AEQ reinvents the concept of portable IP audio-codec. It has been specifically designed for sports reporting applications, but it has also been optimized to make it easy to use in the most varied scenarios, even musical events.
Its compact design, resistant to pressure, shocks and even splashes of liquids, is optimized for outdoor use, where optimal handling is not always guaranteed.
It can connect to other codecs from most manufacturers thanks to the SIP communications protocol, according to N/ACIP Tech 3326 EBU standard. But when connecting to another AEQ codec, users can take advantage of an exclusive set of tools that makes the establishment of communication and the control of the unit a simple task.
Phoenix ALIO audiocodecs in combination with the ControlPhoenix MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE will put you in the position that you in control.
Phoenix Management Software
The AEQ PHOENIX Family of IP AudioCodecs provides what you would expect from any IP communications platform. CONTROL!
Weather it's a single peer-to-peer connection or a multi-code network operation for a large network, with any of the PHOENIX Family audiocodecs in combination with the ControlPhoenix MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE will put you in full control.
The ControlPhoenix software allows the control and management of Phoenix Studio, Phoenix Mercury and Phoenix Venus audiocodecs through IP. The equipment can either be part of the same local area network as the PC or workstation that controls them or belong to remote networks. Local equipment are automatically discovered when the application is launched. In order to control the remote units, first of all, they need to be reachable and then the user needs to identify them by their IP address.
In order to control a Phoenix Studio audiocodec operating in ISDN, it is necessary to additionally provide an IP connection that is reachable from the PC where the software is installed.
Subject to a fee that depends on the of user licenses, this application can be installed and run on several computers simultaneously. Up to four different users or application sessions can concurrently control one AudioCodec.
