“You only need a browser and a microphone.” – this is how Annelie Beer, Co-Founder of streaMonkey presents the innovative streaming platform.
StreaMonkey gives audio publishers full control over streaming, monetisation, content production, analysis and data. The special thing about this: It´s all united in one system.
It`s a radio station without a physical location which also provides a library and many useful functions. Furthermore, it gives an overview over ads. The only things you need are a microphone and access to the internet.
Annelie Beer emphasizes that the sound quality is on the same level as the one of streaming platforms like Spotify. According to her, it is constantly adjusted for the best listening experience, and there is no higher cost for better quality. They even build specific connections if needed: “You need a specific connection? We build this connection”, she promises.
The platform knows the exact location of the person who is streaming. Of course, data protection is taken seriously.
So could this lead us into the future of audio production? The medium of radio is constantly evolving and developing. Not needing a physical radio station could provide possibilities to create audio content for a vast amount of people.
In the end, a browser and a microphone are enough to make best quality radio.
