IPAT-22 - IP Audio Transceiver (Streamer and Receiver)
The IPAT-22 is a professional-grade, full-duplex IP audio streamer and receiver designed for seamless two-way audio transmission over the Internet. With both microphone and stereo line inputs and a stereo audio output, the IPAT-22 can operate simultaneously as both a streamer and receiver, offering unmatched flexibility for live broadcasting, studio links, and remote audio applications.
It supports Shoutcast and Icecast protocols and features a built-in Icecast-compatible audio server, enabling audio to be sent or received from any compatible system. The IPAT-22 can grab audio directly from a URL and output it, making it ideal for internet radio stations or remote audio monitoring.
Thanks to its built-in signal generator, it can also produce sine and sawtooth waveforms (1 kHz–10 kHz), allowing it to function as an audio testing tool. Additionally, the IPAT-22 can play MP3 files locally stored on the device, and automatically switch to these files during network interruptions—ensuring uninterrupted broadcasting.
This unit is fully compatible with the ONAIR IPAR-18 IP audio receiver for complete end-to-end audio streaming solutions.
