What can I do with AUDIOBOX Controller?

The only limit is you

AUDIOBOX allows you to configure email alerts for any event that you want to control, for example, if there is silence in any of the audio inputs, silence in the streaming channel, silence in the internal audio player or simply silence in the audio output

email de alertas AudioBox Controller

Of course the alarms are configurable to any other function of the equipment

And if there is a silence apart from sending us an alert, what can we do?

All the events that occur, such as silence, can be associated with the actions we want, that is, in the event of silence on channel 1, you send me an alert by email and switch to channel 2 with a 3-second fade, and if on the channel 2 there was no audio, we started a streaming playback of the news channel…

We can chain events and actions without any limitation

all monitored from the mobile app

Of course we can take manual action from our mobile

AUDIOBOX allows you to control the 4 audio inputs of the matrix/mixer manually and automatically, we can make them fully automatic

… by timer, by detection of a GPIO status, by a TCP order, by the closing of a chain relay and a long etc.

or manually from the front buttons or by software from any device, computer or mobile, outside or inside the station

AUDIOBOX allows you to connect with any external streaming source and use it as an internal player controlled manually or automatically, with fades, silence control and network cuts. In this way we can consider streaming as a source of the Chain, as an internal source or simply as an emergency

Not only can we play external streaming sources, but we can also store audio files of any format in the internal storage unit that we can play manually or automatically

Of course, by configuring the AUDIOBOX we can receive orders from any radio chain, by contact detection, by satellite relay, by TCP/IP, by timer, etc.

Any of these functions or a combination of them is possible in a simple and intuitive way

Through the mobile application we can act remotely wherever we are, on any function of the equipment:

Audio channel change, file playback, streaming playback, start or end of any action, it will no longer be necessary to go to the station to change the sound source

Also see at all times the status of the station, active channel, if there is presence of audio in inputs or outputs, status of the chain, etc.

Through the mobile app we can use our phone to record an interview or event and once finished send it to the AudioBox and play it remotely from the mobile to be broadcast immediately on the air or we can schedule it to be done automatically later

Then we can return to automatic or manual mode as appropriate and everything from the mobile
