Overview
APT IP Silver Audio Encoder
The APT IP ENCODER Silver and IP DECODER Silver combine to enable affordable yet professional delivery of audio content over IP networks. Low on cost but rich in features, these units are perfect for standard broadcast applications such as STLs.
Despite being one of the lowest cost solutions in the market, they feature the renowned aptX Enhanced coding as well as linear audio as standard. The APT IP Silver devices also support SureStream for increased reliability.
A complete system requires one Encoder and one Decoder
