Introduction

SourceCon™ internet audio player module

The IMP40 is a professional internet radio player featuring SourceCon™ modular 
technology. This unique technology guarantees true plug & play implementation to any 
compatible device. When inserted to a supporting slot, the module is instantly installed, 
discovered and ready for operation without requiring any additional internal wiring or 
complex configuration.

The IMP40 features the unique Linum™ technology which eleminates any unwanted 
behaviour such as sudden channel hopping or music stops. When the connection is 
interrupted, automatic switching to inserted media carriers (USB drives) avoids unpleasant 
silences in background music applications. The audio stream will be automatically and 
seamlessly restored afterwards.

It synchronizes with the vTuner database which contains over 30.000 channels, allowing 
selection on different criteria such as genre, location, language, ... while custom streams 
can also be added to a preference list up to 100 entries.

The input connection is implemented by an RJ45 type connector with indicator LED’s on 
its panel, allowing connection to any ethernet network. The balanced stereo line output 
is connected through two 3-pin terminal block connections.
