AM SiteStreamer+™

Share on Facebook Share on Twitter

The SOFIA 567 provides analog, AES3-digital and AoIP-streaming audio outputs. The Web Interface enables remote tuning, streamed audio, station switching, alarms, and more.

Multiple stations can be sequentially monitored using the programmable StationRotation™ feature. The SOFIA 567 includes a built-in BandScanner™, a real-time clock and full SNMP functionality.

The elite SiteStreamer+™ (‘Plus’) series offers advanced features for the most critical monitoring situations.

The SiteStreamer+™ also delivers important RF and audio signal measurements and dispatches email or text-message alarms for out-of-limits conditions and other reception errors.

The SOFIA SiteStreamer+ does everything the SiteStreamer does "PLUS" so much more...

Features


  • Fulltime off-air program audio is available simultaneously as L/R-analog, AES3-digital and Dante®-based AES67 AoIP streaming, all with adjustable levels, plus a multi-listener Internet IP stream and front-panel headphone jack.

  • Install the SiteStreamer+ within the reception contour of your station and monitor off-air analog FM via the Web from anywhere in the world.

  • The SOFIA 567 Internet-listening stream supports up to 10 listeners at once.

  • Front-panel alarms and/or rear-panel ‘tallies’ indicate Audio Loss, Low Signal, and AM Reception Loss.

  • Easy front-panel setup uses jog-wheel menu navigation and the front-panel readout. The corresponding Web interface offers a detailed presentation and additional options.

  • Enhanced alarm logging includes the duration of each alarm, and there is virtually no limit to the number of alarms that can be logged.

  • Real-Time Clock has battery backup.

  • GPOs may be user-assigned to specific alarm functions.

  • The half-rack package features an OLED hi-res graphic display, wide-range LED level meters and individual alarm LEDs with rear-panel tallies.

  • SNMP utility is fully supported.

  • The built-in BandScanner displays a spectrum plot of the entire AM band (or a user-selected portion).
