Cast Cloud Live is built for stations that already produce live audio -- whether from a professional broadcast console, a hardware encoder, or encoding software on a PC. Your encoder connects to our Icecast server and delivers your signal to listeners worldwide in real time.
The workflow is straightforward: your station produces audio, your encoder compresses it to MP3, AAC+, or OGG, and sends the stream directly to your Cast Cloud Live Icecast server. No intermediate steps, no re-encoding on our end -- your audio arrives exactly as you send it.
Hardware encoders like the Barix Instreamer connect directly to your audio console's output and require no PC at all -- ideal for unmanned transmitter sites or studios where simplicity and reliability are essential. Software encoders run on any Windows or Mac computer and give you full control over bitrate, format, and metadata.
When you sign up, we provide your Icecast server hostname, port number, mount point, and password. Enter these into your encoder and you are live within minutes.
A dedicated hardware device that connects directly to any analog or AES audio source and streams to Icecast over a standard network connection. No PC required -- ideal for AM/FM transmitter sites and always-on reliability.

A lightweight, cross-platform encoder for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Simple to set up, reliable in operation, and widely used by community stations and DJs broadcasting from home or on location.
A full-featured radio automation and encoding suite for Windows. SAM Broadcaster handles playout, encoding, and Icecast streaming in one application -- a popular choice for stations running both live and automated programming.
Professional DJ software for Windows, Mac, and Linux with built-in Icecast broadcasting. Mixxx lets DJs mix and broadcast live simultaneously, making it a favourite for music stations and online DJ sets.
Virtual DJ, Nicecast (Mac), and any other Icecast-compatible encoder will work with your Cast Cloud Live server. If your software can stream to an Icecast server, it is compatible -- no special configuration required.
From sign-up to your first live broadcast, we handle the technical side so you can focus on your content and your audience.
Pick the listener count and bitrate that fits your station. No long-term contracts -- scale up any time.
Your Centova Cast control panel is provisioned automatically the moment your payment is confirmed.
