Barix Exstreamer 500 

Professional Mulitprotocol IP Audio de-/encoder with I/O, balanced audio. Support of Internet Radio and VoIP (SIP, RTP) codecs and protocols make the products the ideal choice for broadcast, professional and VoIP applications.

Audio over IP encoder/decoder with balanced inputs and outputs, contact closures (input and output) and USB flash interface. Reliable architecture, low power requirements and MP3/PCM/Ethersound support. The Exstreamer 500 is a professional IP Audio codec that provides balanced analog audio interfaces (stereo input and stereo output) and contact closures. A USB flash interface allows use of external memory to store audio files. The device ,the low power, reliable architecture makes the device an ideal choice for STL applications, professional audio endpoints (with IP or Ethersound protocol) and generic audio routing applications.
