Sonoros is a Mac and iOS application that consolidates your show's audio and RF data into a single place, and makes all of it available to anyone on your network. Instead of walking back to the rack to check a receiver, or relying on a separate monitoring setup for audio, Sonoros pulls everything together and puts it in front of you, wherever you are in the building.

Where it sits

Sonoros lives on your network between your RF and audio gear and the people who need to see it. It talks directly to your wireless receivers, ingests audio from your system, and streams both out to any connected client in real time.

The Sonoros server

One Mac runs Sonoros as the server for your show. This is the instance that holds your show file and licence, communicates with your RF receivers over the network, and ingests audio via Core Audio devices, whether that's a Dante Virtual Soundcard, a MADIface, or any other macOS-compatible audio interface.

Everything flows through this machine: RF data, audio, warnings, routing. It's the hub.

Clients

Mac and iOS clients can connect to the server and get full visibility of the show, channel data, live audio monitoring, warnings, chat, as if they were sitting at the server themselves. Clients discover the server automatically on your network, with no manual configuration needed.

A sound number two can monitor audio from front of house. A RF tech can watch receiver data from the pit. A show caller can see warnings from the production desk.

Routing

For shows using DirectOut hardware, Sonoros also manages your system routing directly, giving you a virtual patchbay, macro support, and backup and spare management alongside your monitoring. More on this in the routing articles.
