Live radio streaming server

Live radio streaming server, hosted in Australia.

A streaming server built for live broadcasts: low-latency Shoutcast and Icecast, multiple concurrent presenters, scheduled handovers and AutoDJ fallback — all on Australian infrastructure.

What's included

Everything you need to broadcast.

Low-latency streaming

Sub-second latency for live presenters broadcasting to Australian listeners.

Concurrent presenters

Multiple presenters connected with their own credentials and broadcast slots.

Smooth handovers

Schedule presenter changeovers, or hand over live mid-show without dropping the stream.

AutoDJ fallback

If a live presenter drops, AutoDJ takes over instantly so the stream never goes silent.

Encoder compatibility

BUTT, Mixxx, RadioBOSS, SAM Broadcaster, mAirList, OBS, hardware encoders.

Live listener stats

Watch listener numbers in real time as a live show goes out.

Who it's for

Designed around real stations.

Live-first stations

Stations whose schedule is mostly live presenters, with AutoDJ as a backup.

Talk and news radio

Talk-format stations where the live broadcast is the product.

Event and outside broadcast

Stations covering live events, sports, festivals or church services.

Multi-presenter shows

Shows with co-hosts and guests connecting from different locations.

Why Australian hosting

Local hosting, local support.

Local infrastructure

Servers in Australian data centres mean lower latency for Australian listeners and faster encoder handshakes for presenters at home.

Australian support team

Speak to people who understand radio — not generic overseas hosting support reading from a script.

Real engineers

Backed by NOX Cloud, with the same network and platform engineers running the rest of our managed services.

Data stays local

Listener metrics and station data are processed and stored in Australia, with no third-party tracking pixels in the stack.

AutoDJ and live presenters

A workflow that stays on air.

  1. 01

    We provision the streaming server and dashboard.

  2. 02

    Issue presenter credentials and configure encoders.

  3. 03

    Schedule live slots and AutoDJ fallback for gaps.

  4. 04

    Broadcast live — AutoDJ catches any drop automatically.

Supported encoders

Connect with the tools your station already uses.

NOX Radio is Shoutcast and Icecast compatible. Point your encoder at our server, paste in your credentials, and you're live — no proprietary clients required.

Live streaming that stays live

The hardest moment in live radio is the second a presenter's encoder drops. NOX Radio's streaming server is designed around that moment: AutoDJ picks up instantly, the stream stays connected for every listener, and the presenter can reconnect and resume mid-show. Multiple presenters can be authenticated concurrently. Handovers between shows happen on the schedule, or live by mutual handover when a co-host joins. The platform takes care of the join logic so presenters don't need to coordinate stream URLs.

Low latency, in Australia

Latency matters most for live broadcasts — interviews, callers, sports calling and event coverage. NOX Radio runs streaming nodes in Australian data centres so live audio reaches Australian listeners in under a second over normal residential broadband. For live overseas events, we run a regional CDN tier that can be enabled on Professional plans. Talk to us if your live broadcasts need international low-latency delivery.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Sub-second to a few seconds depending on player and listener network. Within Australia, typical end-to-end latency is well under two seconds.
