Audio over IP
What is it?
Audio over IP (AoIP) is a technology that enables the transmission and reception of audio over a network. Instead of using traditional analog or digital audio cables, AoIP uses network equipment such as routers, switches, and Ethernet cables to transport audio data in digital form. This technology is becoming increasingly popular due to the flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness it offers.

Usage
Audio over IP (AoIP) is used in various sectors, especially where high-quality audio transmission over long distances is required. For example, in radio stations, AoIP allows for the transmission of audio streams from studios to transmitters and vice versa, without quality loss. It also simplifies the organization of remote broadcasts. At live events, where audio often needs to be sent over long distances, such as from the stage to the mixing console, AoIP provides a reliable solution.
Installation
Installing an Audio over IP system requires planning and knowledge of both audio technology and network infrastructure. Network preparation is a key consideration. The appropriate equipment must then be selected, such as transmitters, receivers, and mixers that support protocols like Dante, which ensures a stable and reliable network. Devices must also be configured, and it's important to establish a stable clock and synchronization structure. Testing the audio quality is essential to ensure it meets the application's requirements. Finally, regular maintenance of the network and devices is necessary to prevent issues. This approach helps to set up a reliable and efficient Audio over IP system that meets the needs of modern audio transmission.
