Inovonics 272 NOVIA FM Stereo Processor/FM Broadcast

With particular stress on ease of installation and use, the NOVIA 272 incorporates intuitive, multi-language menu-driven setup, as well as an IP/browser interface compatible with any PC or mobile device. Multiple factory and user-defined processing presets streamline the setup process. IP connectivity also provides local and email failure alarms, plus support for SNMP operation.

The NOVIA 272 accepts both program line and streaming inputs and allows remote IP audio monitoring.
The 272’s Web interface will allow complete setup and control of the unit from your PC, tablet or smartphone.
