SAM Cast audio encoder with processing and listener statistics
SAM Cast is streaming encoder software from Spacial for live internet audio broadcasting. It is designed to capture sound card, microphone, or line input and send encoded audio streams online. The product page lists multiple encoder formats and bitrates from one interface, including AAC variants, MP3, Ogg, and Windows Media. It also includes metadata handling, event logging, VU metering, and an audio processor with EQ, AGC, stereo expansion, multiband processing, and clipper stages. Spacial also presents listener statistics and reporting as part of the workflow. For radio operators, the software fits encoder deployments that need built-in processing and multiple output formats from one Windows application.
