AEQ Phoenix Alio – Portable Audio Codec

AEQ PHOENIX ALIO – PORTABLE AUDIO CODEC
The compact design of AEQ’s ALIO, resistant to pressure, shocks and even spilled liquids, has been optimized for outdoor use, where perfect handling is not always possible.
It can connect with other codecs from most manufacturers, thanks to the SIP communication protocol, in accordance with the N/ACIP Tech 3326 EBU standard. However, when connected to another AEQ codec, it allows users to benefit from a set of exclusive tools that make establishing the connection and controlling ALIO a very simple task.
AEQ PHOENIX ALIO – PORTABLE AUDIO CODEC: in combination with the ControlPhoenix management software, it will put you in the position you deserve: in full control.

RESOURCES

• 4 microphone inputs, on XLR connectors, with switchable phantom source;
• 2 line-level inputs, on XLR connectors, nominal level 0dBu, maximum 20dBu;
• 2 line-level outputs, on XLR connectors, nominal level 0dbU, maximum 20dBu;
• 2 headphone outputs, on 1/4″ TRS jacks (P10), with volume control and TX/RX balance adjustment;
• Ethernet port for IP interface, with RJ 45 connector;
• Two independent links can be established by the same interface (when the 2nd channel option is purchased);
• An external satellite interface can be connected to the IP interface;
• A 3G or 4G modem can be connected to the IP interface, as can a “wireless bridge”, a WiMax antenna or WiFi.

CODING ALGORITHMS

• OPUS: 48kHz sampling, mono & stereo – with 3 mono presets and 4 stereo presets. Bitrates between 12 and 256kbps. Audio bandwidth: from 6 to 20kHz;
• G711: A-law, u-law, 64kbps, low delay, audio bandwidth: 3kHz;
• G722: 64kbps, low delay, 7kHz audio bandwidth;
• AEQ-LD: sampling at 16, 32 or 48kHz, mono or stereo. Bitrates available from 64 to 284kbps, audio bandwidth: from 7 to 19kHz;
• MPEG 1 & 2 – LII: 16 to 48 kHz sampling, mono, stereo, two-channel and joint-stereo. Binary bit rate between 64 and 384kbps. Audio bandwidth: from 10.5 to 16.5 kHz;
• PCM (Linear): very low delay, transparent quality. 48kHz or 32kHz sampling, with a choice of 12, 16, 20 or 24 bits per sample, mono or stereo. Bitrates from 576 to 2304kbps. Audio bandwidth: from 16 to 20kHz.

To simplify operation, AEQ Phoenix ALIO provides a way of establishing connections automatically called Smart RTP.
AEQ also offers all Phoenix ALIO users free registration and services from AEQ’s SIP server.
