It usually went down once in about two weeks for some reason. So it needed to be restarted manually and then it started streaming again. When it finally died, that was a reason for us to replace it with a new reliable device. After many hours of researching for a device to meet our needs, I landed on the Barix’s site. After reading what it can do and contacting their customer service, they suggested this Instreamer. Although it is far expensive for our purpose, we had no choice since we needed a standalone device that can stream audio directly from an amplifier output without having a computer in between. So we took the chance and purchased it. Here is our simple setup... Amplifier output is connected to Barix Instreamer which is then connected to the Internet via an Ethernet cable attached to the router. As for audio hosting, we are using an Icecast provider. It can also be used with Shoutcast hosting. The device's configuration and instructions are somewhat easy to understand. You can contact their customer service if you have any questions by email. They did get back to me, although within one to two days. The output quality is very good, but the quality is mostly based on the $$ service you sign-up with the hosting provider. We signed-up with 64kbps which is good enough for most audio streaming. We didn't need HD quality either. If you want to listen to our broadcast to get an idea, it is being broadcasted at [...]. But this device has been the most reliable device. It has worked for over six months and has NOT gone down even once to my knowledge. I haven't received a phone call or heard from any of our members stating that audio is not working. I highly recommend this Barix Instreamer if your setup cannot have a dedicated computer in between for audio streaming. Review: Neat little box - This is the only product we could find on the market for a "decent" price that allows encoding of audio streaming without using a computer. Since we stream live events we run an audio chord straight from our soundboard to the streamer, then to the internet to our streaming host. We do not have to use any type of computer program such as Sam Broadcaster. The new, upgraded Barix Instreamer has greatly improved the original product. The biggest improvement is the auto reset. The instreamer saves your settings so if your stream is interrupted due to power failure, once the power is restored, the box automatically begins streaming again. The instreamer is fairly easy to set up, but it may take some time to get the settings correct under the "audio" tab. We found that although we set the rate to 32kbps we were actually streaming at 59kbps which caused a conflict with our host computer and kept getting our stream shut down and also made the audio extremely garbled. After adjusting the settings lower the problems were solved. Instreamer ## Features - Encode Analog Audio to MP3 up to 192/320kbps.

I would suggest setting the device to MPEG1 48khz, VBR, quality 7. You can also choose MPEG1 48khz, CBR, 320kbps, but then make sure to set the bit reservoir mode to "used" instead of "kept empty".There are some who refuse to use anything except uncompressed PCM at 48khz, but then you will use a TON of bandwidth. definitely not something I'd do over the internet unless you have a big pipe. **Q: Can I use this product in pairs with Barix Extremeer 100?** A: Thanks for the question. The answer is yes. The Exstreamer 100 decoder will pair up with the Instreamer encoder. They are stereo units. Hope this helps. ProSoundUniverse has Barix in stock for immediate shipment. Ric G ProSoundUniverse, Apex, NC. USA **Q: What decoder devices do i need at the client sites, where i have normal pa systems with analog inputs?** A: A barix Exstreamer is the easiest solution.

When I turn it on will it automatically connect to my shoutcast hosting and start streaming?** A: It would depend on whether you are sending a signal to Shoutcast (use an Instreamer $195) or if you are receiving a signal from Shoutcast in which case you would want to use an Exstreamer 100 ($195) or 110 ($249) (has an LCD display) decoder at your end. We have both in stock.RIcky G ProSoundUniverse Apex, NC USA ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Reliable Device for Audio Streaming - No Regrets *by K***A on April 15, 2013* We originally had a Panasonic audio streamer for few years, which is no longer manufactured by them.

Instreamer ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Barix is the best for encoding and decoding audio streams. *by W***R on May 1, 2016* If you know what it is then you know why you buy it. Its simply the best audio encoder for sending audio to Shoutcast V1 and V2 servers as well as Icecast. It takes RCA inputs and encodes it to the server that you have setup in the web gui. If you need balanced audio then get the Barix Exstreamer 500. I use over 12 different Barix units in Broadcast FM and never has one died or failed for any reason. Support is helpful and friendly. They are built like a tank and have a great intereface. ## Frequently Bought Together - Instreamer - IP Audio Encoder - Barix Exstreamer 100 IP Audio Stream Decoder-by-Barix - Seismic Audio Speakers 3 Foot XLR Dual Male Patch Cable, 2 XLR To 2 RCA Audio Cords --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/24721248-instreamer-ip-audio-encoder](https://www.desertcart.be/products/24721248-instreamer-ip-audio-encoder) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
