BRIC-Link III can be used for a wide range of applications. From STLs, to home studios, to voice-over, BRIC-Link III provides a reliable connection to make sure your audio is delivered in high quality. 

Audio Coding

For users concerned about delay and coding artifacts, BRIC-Link III offers a robust stereo or mono linear mode that does not compress audio. BRIC-Link III is also the only real-time audio codec to offer FLAC lossless compression. Additionally, BRIC-Link III offers AAC/HE-AAC modes as standard, along with Opus, and VoIP standards G.722 and G.711.

User Interface

BRIC-Link III’s HTML-5 based user interface makes it easy to configure your codec, manage connections and adjust settings from a browser. The page displays connection status, extensive network diagnostics, and audio level meters for remote monitoring. From any location, users are able to configure profiles for various connections with point-and-click connection commands.

Streaming Server Mode

BRIC-Link III can function as a streaming server, delivering multiple streams to computer based media players that support HE-AAC – up to 40 streams over a T1 Internet connection at once. BRIC-Link III also offers the ability to act as a source feed for both SHOUTcast and Icecast servers – with a single BRIC-Link III, you can expand your radio presence to the Internet without the need for a dedicated PC.
