The new
Inter-M AOE212N is an
audio-over-IP (also known as AoIP) distribution system which allows for long distance transmission of voice, background music and audio messaging/advertising via standard TCP/IP LAN or WAN ethernet networks.
The
AOE212N is a bi-directional device meaning that this same device can be used as either transmitter or receiver.
This
Audio-over-Ethernet solution fits into a distributed audio system by connecting up to 2 audio sources (eg CD player, MP3 player, paging microphone or audio media streamer) to an
AOE212N configured as the 'Transmitter'. This is connected to a standard network via Cat5e/6/6e cabling, transmitting both high quality audio
and data (for device switching and RS-232) to up to
60 'remote' amplifier zones/sites over LAN or 20 over WAN. At each remote zone an
AOE212N is configured as the receiver and is connected to a standard 100v line or low impedance amplifier.
When used in conjunction with an
Inter-M PMU Series amplifiers, or
RFA102 AoIP Receiver, the AOE212N is only required as a transmitter device. The PMU amplifiers feature on-board AoIP connectivity and act as both amplifier and audio-over-ethernet receiver.
Audio-over-IP distribution not only benefits from the ability to use existing ethernet cable infrastructure, but also allows for long distance and multi-site audio signal transmission and control.
Data-over-Ethernet Transmission
As well as transmitting audio signals, the AOE212N system also simultaneously sends 8 channels of data either for contact-closure control and/or RS-422/RS-232 control integration.
AC/DC powered
The Inter-M
AOE212N is powered via either AC or DC power allowing for uninterrupted signal broadcast using battery back-up, as well as supporting 'portable' or temporary audio systems in applications such as large-scale, live outdoor events.
Browser-based Configuration
An AOE-212N Audio-over-Ethernet PA or Background Music System can be easily and quickly set-up, monitored and controlled using a browser-based user interface.
