From September 12 to 15, Amsterdam will once again become the epicenter of the broadcast industry with a new edition of IBC, and this year AEQ is attending (booth 8C55) with a very special highlight: SOLARIS, its most versatile audio gateway multicodec to date.

In an industry where every link matters, where reliability and audio quality are critical, SOLARIS stands out as a solution capable of adapting to the needs of any project. Designed to grow with you, it allows you to start with 8 bidirectional channels and expand, in increments of 8, up to 64. All of this in an impressively compact format, making the most out of each rack unit and optimizing space in control rooms and technical facilities.

But SOLARIS’s real value lies not only in its scalability, but in how it manages every transmission. With advanced IP connectivity compatible with AES67/Dante, multiple network ports to separate audio and control traffic, and full redundancy to ensure uninterrupted operation, it offers a solid foundation for even the most demanding environments. In other words: your audio always gets through—and it always gets through right.

User experience is another of its strengths. Through a clear and intuitive web interface, you can configure, monitor, and control each channel with ease—either on site or remotely. Contact lists, presets, and compatibility with applications such as Phoenix make daily operation straightforward, while the open API enables easy integration into third-party systems.

When it comes to audio quality, SOLARIS makes no compromises. It is compatible with the industry’s leading professional codecs—OPUS, G.711, G.722, PCM, and optionally AAC or apt-X—allowing you to choose the best option for each scenario, from STL links to contribution chains or international connections. And for environments where silence is key, its natural convection cooling eliminates fan noise while maintaining stable and reliable performance.

With SOLARIS, AEQ reaffirms its commitment to developing solutions that combine innovation, flexibility, and the robustness that has long defined the brand.

If you want to see it in action, the AEQ team will be waiting for you at IBC 2025, in Hall 8, booth 8C55. There you can experience first-hand how SOLARIS can transform the way you work with audio and take your productions to the next level.
