Inovonics 610 - Internet Radio Monitor

The Inovonics 610 is a dedicated hardware solution for uninterrupted monitoring of streaming online radio quality and performance. Much more than a consumer-grade Internet Radio, the 610 provides balanced analog and AES-digital outputs, self-logging alarms that constantly check for audio loss, stream loss and Internet loss, and an easyto- use tuner that decodes audio and displays live metadata for MP3, Ogg Vorbis and AAC formats. Rear-panel alarm tallies provide local alarms, and online notifications alert personnel with e-mail or text messages when any of the three alarms occurs. The front panel displays left and right audio metering, local LED alarms and an OLED screen with jog wheel for advanced control and editing of all tuning and monitoring parameters. The 610's Web interface allows complete setup and control of the unit from your PC, tablet or smartphone, and reliable 2-way connectivity is ensured with a built-in Dynamic DNS utility.
