We use the Barix Instreamer/Exstreamer with the EnGenius Wireless Bridge to link our studio to our antenna site (about 200 metres at a nearby theatre) and it is rock solid. We also use the same system with an extra pair of Barix boxes to send OB back from the theatre to the studio for control since the wireless bridge is bi-directional. Now we have all of the devices integrated into our network so we can dial up configurations on each box without having to leave the studio - so saves a trip 200 metres down the road, up 3 flights of stairs etc. Very pleased with the Barix devices - we\'ve now got 7, using one as a dedicated output to Icecast, 2 for OB across the internet and the other 4 as STL bidirectional.

This is the second unit we\'ve bought, this one is to replace a much more expensive unit that has failed one to many times. A Great item.

Configuration is easy, and well laid out. Once configured, just plug in the audio and it works.Been using these devices for a number of years and they are very reliable.

This is a superb way to get audio from one place to another in real time. We\'ve used them via broadband and via the wireless link which is almost as good (our sites are about 4km apart).

We were able to purchase this item at an offer price to replace a laptop which was being used for streaming. It was easy to install and has been working reliably 24/7 for some months now. I would certainly recommend it. Tony Clark, New Forest Hospital Radio

These are great products. It is also possible to upgrade their firmware to do extra things - like fallback to a playlist on a USB stick, or even uncompressed PCM audio. Their website is a bit cryptic/teccie, but there is a good Yahoo forum to get advice, and Brendan at BW is always helpful. Why 4 stars not 5? We have found that they are slightly temperature sensitive, so at the remote TX site we have had audio problems when temperature drops to around freezing. We now have heat management and that problem has gone away!

The Barix Instreamer is a great product. It maintains a steady signal when streaming to a server. I have used it for two weeks straight and I have had no sync losses or stream breaks. I have used software based encoders like Oddcast/edcast, RadioBOSS,... I have to say that they are not in the same league as the instreamer. For anyone who is serious about streaming audio over the internet then the Barix Instreamer is the only way to go.

I use a Barix Instreamer as an Audio Encoder for my SHOUTcast server. I used to use a PC to do this; however, this unit provides a much more reliable, robust and easier to set up solution.
