Barix AG, a pioneer in IP-based audio, intercom and monitoring, announces that SneakerRadio of Wilmington, Delaware, has standardized on Barix IP audio decoders to make its IP in-store media program available in New Balance retail outlets throughout the U.S. The SneakerRadio project is the latest in a series of in-store media wins for Barix in the U.S. and internationally, as the cost-efficiency and reliability of IP for in-store audio delivery receives more attention. Barix will exhibit its in-store media platform technology at the In-Store Marketing Media show in Chicago (September 26-27, Booth #351), and the NAB Radio show in Charlotte, North Carolina (Charlotte Convention Center, September 26-28, Booth #113).
SneakerRadio is an in-store radio station featuring promotional advertising messages custom made for New Balance retail stores. Store owners who purchase the program receive a self-install kit in the mail featuring a Barix Exstreamer 100 IP audio decoder. The Barix device uses the store’s existing Internet connection to receive and decode the audio, and connects to a standard audio amplifier, or PA speaker system for playback. The result for retailers and customers is a real-time streaming solution that sounds like a live radio station at the playback location and doesn’t require much overhead or maintenance.
