Broadcast Quality Audio Encoder

The Escape PCM STL Radio Link Encoder is a professional-grade audio solution designed for reliable transmission of one stereo audio signal (Left/Right) to a dedicated receiver. Built for broadcast environments, it ensures high-quality audio delivery 24/7/365 from your studio to the transmitter site.

Applications

This encoder is ideal for continuous studio-to-transmitter links (STL) required by radio stations. It can also be used for live audio transmissions, offering near real-time performance with minimal latency to guarantee clear and uninterrupted sound.

Key Features

  • Supports uncompressed PCM stereo audio at 44.1 kHz / 48.0 kHz sample rates.
  • Automatic reconnection and seamless streaming for 24/7 operation.
  • Last used settings are saved on exit and restored at the next startup.
  • Option to start streaming automatically when the software launches.
  • Runs in the system tray for continuous background operation.
  • Selectable audio input device, destination IP address, and port configuration.
  • Visual audio level monitoring with Left/Right VU meters.

Challenge & Solution

Radio broadcasters require stable, high-quality audio transport from their studio to transmission sites, often located in remote areas. Traditional STL methods can be costly or unreliable. The Escape PCM Encoder provides a robust IP-based solution that is simple to configure, reliable in operation, and capable of running continuously without interruption.

License

The software is licensed for a single activation on one computer only. In case of hardware change or migration to a new system, a new license is required.
