Review on Instreamer - Efficient IP Audio Encoder for High-Quality Streaming by Joe Jordan

If you know what it is, you know why you're buying it. It's simply the best audio encoder for sending audio to Shoutcast V1 and V2 servers as well as Icecast. It takes RCA inputs and encodes them to the server you set up in the web interface. If you want balanced sound, get the Barix Exstreamer 500. I use over 12 different Barix units in Broadcast FM and none of them have died or failed for any reason. The support is helpful and friendly. They are built like a tank and have a great interface.
