Stereo BRIC
IP Audio Codec
ACCESS 2USB
The Comrex ACCESS Stereo BRIC IP Audio codec has set the standard for reliable
remote broadcast. The new ACCESS 2USB redefines that standard. Now with two USB
ports and support for select 4G Wireless cellular data service modems, ACCESS 2USB
provides even more flexibility to meet the demands of on-the-go broadcasters. AC-
CESS codecs now ship with AAC Coding Algorithms, BRUTE (BRIC UDP Transmission
Enhancement) technology, and network bonding capabilities to provide users with a
complete complement of tools to help get your remote broadcast on the air.

IP Audio Codec
AAC (Advance Audio Coding)

ACCESS 2USB includes AAC modes as standard. For broadcasts that require the highest
audio quality available, AAC delivers. AAC, AAC-LD (low delay), HE-AAC (high efficiency),
HE-AACv2 and AAC-ELD (enhanced low delay) can accommodate nearly any bandwidth,
latency or audio quality requirement. In particular, the AAC-ELD mode provides the
perfect balance of low bit rate, low delay, and high quality audio to get the best out of
remote broadcasts.
(For users who prefer our HQ1/HQ2 encoders or other encoders that are no longer supported,
ACCESS 2USB can be “downgraded” to an older firmware version. Instructions can be found
on our website: http://www.comrex.com/support/access-2usb-and-rackmount/#firmware
Portable
ACCESS 2USB is the most portable and versatile professional IP audio codec
on the market. With its 7-hour Lithium Ion battery, integrated mixer, easy-to-
navigate touch screen and handheld form factor, ACCESS can go just about
anywhere...and has! Wherever there is breaking news, a major sporting event
or large outdoor festival, you’re likely to see an ACCESS Portable. The ACCESS
Portable is the “go-to” remote broadcast tool for broadcasters worldwide.
Optional Mixer
ACCESS 2USB provides a single MIC/Line input on XLR plus stereo
line level inputs and outputs and a headphone output. It’s perfect
for reporters running after a story or simple remotes. For situations
that require more mics and headphones, the optional ACCESS Mixer
easily docks onto the side of the ACCESS 2USB to provide a total of
six switchable MIC/Line XLR inputs and six headphone outputs.
Rack
While the ACCESS 2USB has been optimized to provide complete mobility and solid
reliability, the ACCESS Rack has been designed as its perfect studio counterpart. The 1U
19” rack mount ACCESS features balanced stereo XLR inputs and outputs, AES I/O on
XLR, Ethernet port, POTS modem, multiple USB ports, serial and contact closure ports.
ACCESS Rack can be directly controlled with a keyboard/video/mouse, a USB Touch
screen monitor or driven with a standard web browser with Adobe Flash Player installed.
Connect and Control
ACCESS codecs offer several ways to be configured, controlled and managed. Comrex
Device Manager is a free Windows app that allows for easy IP configuration of ACCESS
codecs as well as firmware and license updates. Comrex Switchboard Traversal Server,
managed by Comrex, provides a simple way for ACCESS codecs to “see” each other from
behind Firewalls and private LANs.
