AXIS Audio Manager Pro - What’s new

For a full description of what is contained in each release, see AXIS Audio Manager Pro release notes

June, 2025

• A new web-based paging interface that allows you to send live or pre-recorded audio messages to your audio site. This feature enables real-time communication and ensures important announcements reach the intended audience efficiently. The interface also supports two-way communication, allowing direct calls to individual devices for interactive conversations.

• 

• The system now supports visual signaling through text displays and strobes to reinforce audio messages. Using Visual Profiles, you can configure how text displays and strobe lights behave during announcements and paging. Global display settings—such as clock format—can also be configured centrally to reduce per-device setup.

• 
• 

• Scheduling is now more flexible with the addition of templates. A template defines a single day’s playback plan and can be reused across multiple days, saving time and ensuring consistency. Templates simplify the process of creating and managing complex schedules.

• 
• 

• New diagnostic tools help identify and troubleshoot network-related issues. The Network Diagnostics feature evaluates device communication status across your site and detects issues such as multicast availability, network latency, and packet loss—ensuring stable audio streaming and overall system health.

• A detailed event and audit log has been added, providing a comprehensive record of system activity. This helps administrators track changes, monitor behavior, and troubleshoot issues more effectively.

• 

• Added a built-in tool that assists in building API requests. This tool simplifies the process of crafting the required JSON by helping you select the correct IDs and avoiding common errors such as typos, missing parentheses, or incorrect syntax.

• New language supported: Romanian.

• Wider range of file and streaming formats supported. AAC, HLS, M3U8 as well as Opus support for SIP is now supported.

• Added support for more devices, including:

• • AXIS C1710 Network Display Speaker

  • AXIS D4200 Network Strobe Speaker

December, 2024

• User management is now available, which integrates with your local Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Active Directory (AD) systems. Use it to assign users to specific groups and roles, such as administrator, content manager, and content operator, in order to streamline permissions and access control.

• Important

  The root user has been removed. When you log in for the first time, use the local Windows administrator username and password. After that you can add and give access to users and groups.

• 

• Update notifications appear when a new version of AXIS Audio Manager Pro is available. Initiate the update from the system tray on the server.

• 

• Added support for pre- and post-announcement tones. Default or customized tones can be configured for each SIP extension to draw attention before making a public address or page.

• 

• Added support for AXIS C6110 Network Paging Console. You can now view and manage all added paging devices in a list.

• Enhanced playback and error information is now available on the dashboard, with more details about disabled sources and destinations. It also alerts you if no data is received in a stream.

• Contact person information has been added. As an admin, you can add contact details to the system owners, and make it accessible to all users.

• Improvements have been made to the diagnostics package, which is used for debugging.

• It’s now possible to set a minimum TLS version for SIP servers.

• Searching and filtering lists is now more efficient.

This version requires devices to run AXIS OS version 11.11 or later (or AXIS OS version 10.12 for older devices with no 11-track available).
