AXIS Audio Manager

Scalable IP audio management — from 200 to 5,000 speakers, across unlimited zones and sites. Schedule content, broadcast live, and monitor system health remotely.

Complete Audio Control — from One Site to Thousands The AXIS Audio Manager range scales from small and mid-sized sites with up to 200 speakers across 20 zones (Edge), through to large enterprise deployments supporting up to 5,000 speakers across 100 zones (Pro) — all managed from a single, intuitive web-based interface.
Right Content, Right Zone, Right Time Schedule and mix background music, pre-recorded announcements, and live paging across independent audio zones — with automatic content prioritisation ensuring emergency announcements and live voice messages always cut through instantly.
Multi-Site Management with Remote Health Monitoring AXIS Audio Manager Center extends control across multiple locations from one platform, while built-in remote speaker testing and a live system dashboard mean you can verify your entire audio system is operational without a single site visit.

Scalable Network Audio Management for Every Site Size

The AXIS Audio Manager family offers three software tiers designed to grow with your needs. AXIS Audio Manager Edge is embedded directly on Axis network speakers at no additional cost, supporting up to 200 speakers across up to 20 zones — ideal for small to medium sites — with drag-and-drop zone configuration, weekly content scheduling, and built-in remote speaker testing. For larger and more complex installations, AXIS Audio Manager Pro is a one-time licensed, server-based solution supporting up to 5,000 speakers across up to 100 zones, installable on hardware of your choice or a virtual machine, with real-time zone reconfiguration independent of physical cabling and full health monitoring via a web browser. Across both tiers, content prioritisation ensures live voice messages and emergency announcements always override scheduled content instantly. For organisations operating across multiple locations, AXIS Audio Manager Center provides centralised multi-site coordination and is available in a free standard version or a fully featured subscription-based premium version, with support for the AXIS Audio Manager mobile app. Together, the three products deliver a unified, scalable audio management ecosystem — from a single retail store to a nationwide network of sites — all manageable remotely without the need for on-site visits.
