02 February, 2023

ESP: AEQ has unveiled its new Phoenix Venus 4 audiocodec. This new dual stationary audiocodec for point-to-point links stands out for having IP connectivity and two simultaneous bidirectional stereo transmissions with different formats and qualities. It also features SIP protocol and EBU N/ACIP standard, as well as OPUS algorithms (configuration support and remote control tools).

AEQ Phoenix Venus 4 is available in two hardware versions: one with a front panel control and a more basic version with network and communications status indicators. Both versions have balanced analogue inputs and outputs on XLR connectors and dedicated AES/EBU digital I/O connectors. Triple network port, dual RS232 auxiliary data link and redundant power supply. Available version with 48 volt DC power supplies and optional DANTE / AES 67 IP local audio inputs and outputs.

It can be controlled via the Phoenix Control application.

There is a user-friendly graphical window for configuration and another for operation that allows us to work with it as if we were in front of a front control panel, choosing encoding modes, connection modes and establishing or terminating calls.
