AEQ Phoenix Mercury

The AEQ PHOENIX MERCURY full duplex IP audio codec offers connections in Stereo, Dual or Mono. It's exclusively controlled through a simple PC interface, allowing for remote or local management of one or a series of audio codecs. Despite its compact design (two units can fit in a 1RU tray), it's a fully professional codec that's compatible with most audio codecs from other manufacturers. MERCURY is ideal for STL applications, radio broadcast networks, outside broadcast contributions or as digital hybrids for IP Telephony.

MERCURY supports SIP signaling and the most common encoding algorithms, including the proprietary AEQ LD and optionally AAC encoding modes. It sports balanced analog audio I/O through XLR connectors, as well as digital audio AES/EBU I/O. And it's pre-registered to quickly use the services of AEQ's SIP Server, simplifying connection establishment.
