The Inovonics 611 is our second generation dedicated hardware solution for uninterrupted monitoring of network streaming audio, such as online Internet radio and other streaming applications..

The world of streaming has progressed over the years and the new 611 is designed to meet the technological challenges of today with greater processing power and advanced functionality.

Like its predecessor, the 611 Streaming Monitor provides balanced analog and AES-digital outputs, self-logging alarms that constantly check for audio loss, stream loss and Internet loss. If the stream is lost for whatever reason, the 611 continuously strives to reconnect. Online alarm notifications alert personnel with e-mail or text messages.
