AES67 Monitor
A cross-platform Audio-over-IP monitoring application for AES67, RAVENNA, and ST2110-30 streams in live sound, studio, and broadcast.
What is AES67 Monitor?
AES67 Stream Monitor is a cross-platform desktop application for real-time monitoring and analysis of Audio-over-IP streams. It supports industry standards like AES67, RAVENNA, and ST2110-30, allowing users to discover, filter, and listen to audio streams on IP networks. It solves the problem of needing a dedicated, flexible tool to verify and manage professional audio streams in live, studio, and broadcast environments.
Audio engineers, broadcast technicians, and studio professionals working with Audio-over-IP networks who need to monitor and troubleshoot AES67, RAVENNA, or ST2110-30 compliant streams.
Developers choose AES67 Stream Monitor for its comprehensive support of professional audio standards, cross-platform availability, and features like automatic stream discovery and selective channel listening, which are tailored for real-world audio production workflows.
Overview
Real-time monitoring of audio-over-IP streams, supporting AES67, RAVENNA, and ST2110-30 standards for live sound, studio, and broadcast applications.
Use Cases
Best For
- Monitoring AES67 audio streams in live sound reinforcement setups
- Verifying RAVENNA network audio in studio recording environments
- Analyzing ST2110-30 streams in broadcast production facilities
- Troubleshooting Audio-over-IP network issues with automatic stream discovery
- Listening to specific channels from multi-channel audio streams for quality control
- Testing audio stream compatibility across different hardware and software sources
Not Ideal For
- Projects requiring audio recording, editing, or mixing capabilities
- Environments using proprietary or non-standard Audio-over-IP protocols not covered by AES67, RAVENNA, or ST2110-30
- Teams needing built-in audio routing, logging, or export features for compliance or archiving
Pros & Cons
Pros
Supports uncompressed L16 and L24 PCM audio up to 64 channels with various sampling rates and packet times as defined by AES67, RAVENNA, and ST2110-30, ensuring broad compatibility with professional hardware.
Detects AES67 streams automatically via SAP and allows manual addition with raw SDP data, simplifying network monitoring in live environments.
Enables listening to specific channels, supporting both stereo pairs and mono channels, which is essential for quality control in multi-channel audio setups.
Provides ready-to-use binaries for MacOS, Windows, and Linux, making it accessible across different operating systems without platform lock-in.
Cons
Release binaries are not signed, which may trigger security warnings and complicate installation for enterprise or cautious users.
Only supports AES67, RAVENNA, and ST2110-30 standards, missing native support for other Audio-over-IP protocols like Dante or Livewire, limiting use in mixed ecosystems.
Building from source may require compiling the Audify audio backend, which can be challenging for users without development expertise or specific system dependencies.
