The Audiofusion system is 100% software based and runs only on Apple products (but we’re looking into versions for Windows and Android too). Here’s a brief introduction to each part of the system.
SoundCaster is the name of the main software program. It is the heart of our system and runs on a Mac. It receives the raw audio from any digital source just like a DAW and broadcasts it over Wi-Fi. Minimum system requirement is MacOS 10.12 or newer. For best sound quality, connect the Mac running SoundCaster directly to your Wi-Fi Router with an ethernet cable.
We recommend you use a dedicated Wi-Fi router for Audiofusion. Specifically, a dual band router with a 5GHz band using the latest 802.11ac standard.
Our top three router recommendations are:
Linksys AC5400
ASUS RT-AC5300
For a good value when connecting 8 devices or less:
Linksys AC2600
AmpliFi HD WiFi Router by Ubiquiti Labs (without the additional mesh points)
Performer is the app each musician uses on their iPhone to receive the audio over Wi-Fi. We support iPhone 6 or newer.
Director is the optional app for your iPad which allows you to remote control the audio input levels on SoundCaster, hear and control the mix each musician is hearing on Performer, and re-assign instrument labels instead of having to re-type labels for each instrument signal. It also allows you manage SoundCaster while on the go so you’re not tied down to your laptop or sound booth.
