Are the bitrates the global bandwidth for all stations, or are they mentioned per-station?
The allowed maximum bitrates are per each radio station/audio feed that you have with C-Servers, for any given plan. For example, on the StreamVoice 96 Kbps plan, which allows up to two station, each station can have up to 96 Kbps to broadcast.
Is the disk space on the description shown for all radio stations, or is it counted per station?
Disk space is shown on a per-station model. This means that the total disk space available is 2GB for StreamVoice, 15GB for StreamSounds, 250GB for StreamQuality and 1000GB (1TB, per SI/Linux notation) for StreamLossless. This is guaranteed disk space.
Which EQ processors are supported at this radio streaming offer?
Currently, we support the open-source Klaus Schuermann's "Master Me" plugin, which is German-based; and the closed-source (and widely used) Stereo Tool, from Thimeo. The Stereo Tool provisioning is a unique advantage to C-Servers' radio streaming package - no other company provides this DSP plugin.
Why do you say the StreamVoice 96 Kbps are directed at mono voice-only content? Can they be used for music as well?
C-Servers does no control over the usage of each customer for any given plan. Our original idea was to create radio/audio streaming plans that focused on a higher-quality allowance of different streams/stations, and 96 Kbps is widely understood as giving a far-from-transparent quality on music broadcasts (depending on the format); however, within the allowed bitrates, you can configure your stations as you wish.
I want to have 4 stations at the StreamVoice 96 Kbps plan. Can the plans be stacked? And therefore can I have four stations?
Yes, absolutely, you can stack them as you wish. In your specific use case, purchase two StreamVoice plans.
Are these services suitable for professional broadcasters as well?
Absolutely. We also guarantee server management and uptime for these.
Are the listeners really unlimited on every plan?
Yes, absolutely. No one wants to have the burden to have a transmission cutting up simply because there weren't enough listeners paid for and, truth is, no radio station/audio streamer knows or is capable to predict at any given moment how many listeners will it have - also no one wants to have a unusually successful stream cut off simply because the number of listeners allowed has been reached. It's 2025, and it's absolutely unacceptable to proceed that way when radio bitrates aren't that big and we live in a Gigabit world. It doesn't make any sense anymore, we believe.
Can I go over the bitrate limit or the space limit for a given plan?
No. Overages are not allowed. Either a readjustment or, if it happens multiple times, a (temporary or permanent) suspension may apply if a bitrate is incorrectly set.
What is your system for AutoDJ services?
Our system is based on LiquidSoap.
Can I connect directly on the AutoDJ port to start a live transmission?
Yes, absolutely.
How does geoblocking work?
Geoblocking works by banning countries other than the ones you retain rights to broadcast to. This is managed at the panel level on your end.
Does purchasing this service grant me the rights to broadcast music?
No, C-Servers is a provider and as such it works only as a neutral carrier. You are the only responsible for licensing questions and/or to comply with licensing questions in any given country.
What is the line speed on your plans?
The technical line speed on these plans is provided by default at 1 Gbps; however, we will upgrade to 2.5 Gbps or higher whenever necessary and we'll grow with you and your listeners, so don't worry.
