Make and receive SIP calls for remote radio shows, media tours and podcast interviews, with this simple desktop touchscreen IP codec. Just connect to an audio mixer with mix-minus configured, or connect an XLR mic* and a pair of headphones.
The XLR SIP Codec from In:Quality connects to your existing internet connection and allows you to call to/from radio stations in full studio quality, thanks to its use of the Opus codec. It can be shipped pre-configured with your own unique sip.audio address, and quick-dial buttons for your regular destinations. It also functions as a phone hybrid, without needing a physical phone line.
Use the on-screen controls to adjust input and output levels, and to mute the mic for privacy, or to cough. Includes on-screen digital clock.
* Note: The input may not be suitable for some dynamic or low-sensitivity microphones, or for high performance applications.

FAQs
| Which radio stations can I connect with? |
|---|
| Find SIP enabled radio stations on our SIP Studio Map. An easy way for radio stations to call SIP codecs is to dial the SIP address from the dial pad in ipDTL. Any station with a Comrex IP codec or similar, can receive SIP calls, once the unit has been configured with a SIP account. |
| Can I dial phone numbers from this device? |
|---|
| Yes, and you can create quick-dial buttons to dial with one touch of the screen. You’ll need to upgrade your sip.audio subscription to allow phone calls. |
| Can I receive inbound phone calls? |
|---|
| Yes, you can add a phone number to your sip.audio subscription. A package including a Tel subscription is also required for phone calling. |
| Can I control the device without using the touchscreen? |
|---|
| Yes. You can access it through its IP address from a nearby computer. |
| Can I connect the XLR SIP Codec to the internet using wifi? |
|---|
| Wi-Fi or mobile broadband are the most common causes of radio interviews dropping off. To ensure reliability, our SIP Codecs connect to your broadband router using a physical cable. Most wifi routers have ethernet sockets on the back. You can use an extra long ethernet cable, or ‘Powerline’ adaptors where cable routing is not an option. If you still want to use wifi, please get in touch to discuss viability. |
