Davicom is excited to introduce the AXON-4AUD, a powerful new tool for AM/FM broadcast engineers seeking real-time audio monitoring, silence detection, and automated response capabilities.
When every second of on-air silence matters, the AXON-4AUD ensures immediate detection and action, giving broadcasters peace of mind and reducing costly downtime.

AXON-4AUD – Compact & Precision Audio Monitoring for Broadcasters

 

Silence Detection & Smart Automation

• Detect unexpected audio loss instantly with precise monitoring from -35 dBu (minimum sensitivity) to +20 dBu (saturation ceiling).
• Set conditional delays, counters, and schedulers to mute alarms when silence is expected (e.g., scheduled program breaks or overnight sign-offs).
• Trigger automatic responses by integrating with other Davicom devices to take corrective actions, such as switching to a backup audio source or alerting engineers.

 Seamless Integration & Control

• Standalone Operation – The AXON-4AUD can send email alerts and SNMP TRAPs (v1/v2/v3) when an audio event is detected.
• Works with Davicom CORTEX Series RTUs – Convert the AXON-4AUD to a Modbus slave for centralized site management within a Davicom system.
• Compact & Powerful – The AXON-4AUD is a small footprint device that packs high-performance audio monitoring and automation into an efficient, space-saving design.

The AXON Series – Scalable Monitoring for Broadcasters

 

The AXON family provides cost-effective, SNMP-compatible monitoring solutions tailored for radio and television engineers. In addition to the AXON-4AUD, the series includes:
AXON-8A – 8 Analog Inputs for transmitter voltages, modulation levels, and telemetry.
AXON-8D – 8 Digital Inputs for detecting contact closures, tower lights, door alarms, and RF switching.
AXON-5R – 5 Relay Outputs for remote control of transmitters, generators, and auxiliary equipment.

What is NEURO? The Most Flexible Remote I/O Platform

 

The NEURO Series is Davicom’s modular, rack-mounted GPIO-based remote telemetry platform. Unlike the AXON, which is a compact, standalone unit with fixed I/O configurations, NEURO is fully customizable with swappable I/O cards.
With five independent slots, users can configure the NEURO to precisely match their monitoring needs using NIO expansion cards, including:
  • Analog Inputs (NIO-8A) – Voltage monitoring, sensors, telemetry.
  • Digital Inputs (NIO-8D) – Contact closures, alarms, status detection.
  • Relay Outputs (NIO-5R) – Remote control of external devices.
  • Audio Inputs (NIO-4AUD) – NEW!
The NIO-4AUD: Adding Audio Monitoring to NEURO
With the new NIO-4AUD expansion card, NEURO can now monitor audio signals just like the AXON-4AUD. But with NEURO’s modular flexibility, users can now mix audio, analog, digital, and relay I/O in a single chassis, creating a fully customized remote monitoring solution for their unique site requirements –OR– Deploy up to 5 NIO-4AUDs in one NEURO for an astounding 20 audio monitoring inputs!
Same Powerful Operating System & GUI as AXON – Since NEURO and AXON share the same Davicom-designed OS and web-based interface, users benefit from a seamless, intuitive experience across devices. Whether configuring an AXON-4AUD or expanding a NEURO with multiple I/O types, operators enjoy a consistent workflow and remote management capabilities.

 

Why Broadcasters Choose AXON-4AUD & NEURO?
