DB90-TX How to: Can the DB90-TX be used as a multicast sender?
The DB90-TX IP Audio Encoder can send audio to a number of clients simultaneously, provided that a multicast address is being entered as a client address. The IP Multicast Group address should be specified in the RTP senders' settings.
DB90-TX How to: I have forgotten my password for the WEB Interface. What should I do?
If due to any reason you have forgotten your WEB Interface password, in order for a new password to be assigned to the device, the unit should be returned to its factory defaults.
The procedure is performed via the reset button placed on the rear panel of the device. To ensure that the procedure has been properly completed, please follow the instructions below:
- Unplug the device from the power supply;
- Press and hold the reset button;
- While pressing the button, connect the device to the power supply again;
- Wait for a few seconds, until the Power LED starts blinking;
- Release the reset button;
- The device should be returned to its factory defaults.
DB90-TX How to: How can the encoder be set to act as a Streaming Audio Server?
If due to any reason you have forgotten both passwords - the one for the front panel and the one for the WEB Interface, please contact us at support@devabroadcast.com
Prior to implementing the below written adjustments, the following requirements should be fulfilled:
- DB9000-TX/DB90-TX must have a static IP address;
- If the device is placed behind a router, you will have to make sure that the Port and Stream Server are properly NAT forwarded;
- DB9000-RX/DB90-RX may have a dynamic IP address;
- DB9000-RX/DB90-RX should have access to DB9000-TX/DB90-TX over the network (Internet or LAN).
In order for the DB9000-TX/DB90-TX to be used as a Streaming Audio Server the following settings should be applied, via the WEB Interface:
- Go to Configuration > IP Audio;
- Audio Settings section - Choose the preferred audio signal input. Assign Encoder +Sample rate and the desired signal quality. The combination of these parameters will define the required minimum bandwidth of your network connection;
- Stream Settings section - Specify the Port to be used and the maximum supported connections. Preferably change the name of the stream to identify you server easily.
DB90-TX How to: How the encoder can be used as an Icecast Source Client?
Prior to implementing the below written adjustments, the following conditions should be fulfilled:
- DB9000-TX/DB90-TX should be connected to a Network (Internet or Local connection);
- DB9000-RX/DB90-RX configured as Icecast Source Server with static IP or an Icecast distribution server with static IP. For further information on how the DB9000-RX/90-RX could be set to work as an Icecast Server refer to DB9000-90-RX_Icecast Source Server;
- DB9000-TX/DB90-TX could be set with dynamic IP.
In order for the DB9000-TX/DB90-TX to act as an Icecast Source Client, the following settings should be applied, via the WEB Interface:
- Go to Configuration > IP Audio;
- Audio Settings section - Choose the preferred audio signal input. Assign Encoder +Sample rate and the desired signal quality. The combination of these parameters will define the required minimum bandwidth of your network connection;
- Icecast Settings section – Specify the URL or IP Address, and Port of the Icecast Source Server to be used. In order for the server to accept the audio feed, the username and password (preliminary assigned to the server) should be written in the relevant fields. If an Icecast Distribution server is used, the mount point should also be specified.
DB90-TX How to: How the encoder can be used as an RTP Sender?
Prior to implementing the below written adjustments, the following conditions should be fulfilled:
- DB9000-TX/DB90-TX should be connected to a Network (Internet or LAN);
- An RTP receiver with static IP and properly configured static IP;
- DB9000-TX/DB90-TX could be set with dynamic IP.
In order for the DB9000-TX/DB90-TX to act as an RTP Sender, the following settings should be applied, via the WEB Interface:
- Go to Configuration > IP Audio;
- Audio Settings section - Choose the preferred audio signal input. Assign Encoder + Sample Rate and the desired signal quality. The combination of these parameters will define the required minimum bandwidth of your network connection;
- RTP Settings section – Specify the URL or IP Address, and Port of the RTP Receiver to be used.
DB90-TX How to: DB9000-TX/DB90-TX cannot be assigned with static IP. How can I configure it?
For further information on the variants of usage when DB9000-TX/DB90-TX cannot be set with static IP, refer to question:
"How DB9000-TX/DB90-TX can be used as an Icecast Source Client, feeding with audio DB9000-RX/DB90-RX, working as an Icecast Source Server, or an Icecast Distribution Server?"

DB90-TX How to: Can the DB90-TX/DB9000-TX be used as an audio source for Shoutcast system?
The DB90-TX/DB9000-TX can be used as an Icecast Source client, but not as Shoutcast Source. Shoutctast/Icecast in the product specifications refers to the built-in Icecast/Shoutcast compatible stream server, i.e. clients as Winamp, for example, can connect to DB90-TX/DB9000-TX and play the audio.
DB90-TX How to: What should be the buffer level? How can I apply the needed settings?
The Buffer is used to supply an audio at the output when disconnection or a problem with the connection is present. The higher the buffer level is the longer the protection time will be. Though, the audio delay will be increased. The level at which the buffer will be set depends on your preferences and expected results as it comes to the quality of the connection. If a connection loss is not expected, the buffer level could be decreased. If the connection is unstable (such as 3G Network), we recommend a higher buffer level to be set.
The buffer level is set in bytes, thus, the audio delay depends on the bit-rate of the audio stream. For example - audio with higher bit-rate will have a lower delay compared to audio with the lowest bit-rate at the same level of the buffer.
The buffer level is the received amount of audio data at which the RX will start playing the audio. In the DB90/9000-TX settings should be set the pre-buffering level, which is the initial amount of data that is sent to the RX in order for the buffer to be filled rapidly i.e. the connection to be built quickly. We recommend the same values to both units to be set.
All needed settings are applied via the WEB Interface.
- For DB90/9000-RX go to Configuration > IP Audio > IP Audio Client subsection and set the pre-buffer level;
- For DB90/9000-TX go to Configuration > IP Audio > Stream Settings subsection and select the pre-buffer level from the drop-down menu.
