FetchExpress is a low-cost, easy-to-install, maintenance-free portable PA system package, allowing you to bring sound to any location! FetchExpress can be used with an existing wireless network, or through its built-in WiFi, turning you into a walking hotspot. Broadcast your voice to listeners with a directly connected microphone, or a wireless mic system. For a single audio source, your listeners only see a single channel on the app, making it simple and intuitive to connect to the audio. For more channels, FetchExpress can be paired with multiple FetchExpress models (we recommend up to 8 on a network, or our AudioFetch Signature platform).

This product is no longer available following the release of the All-new AudioFetch Express 5 – our Dual Band, Dual Channel Next-generation audio streaming solution.

Cooperative Mode number of AudioFetch Express devices | Current version is factory configurable for up to 4 AudioFetch Express devices operating together (on same network) |
Access Point Mode with Internet Access | AudioFetch Express operates simultaneously in Access Point Mode and connected to a pre-existing WiFi network (with Internet Access) in client mode |
NETWORK BANDWIDTH | |
Bandwidth consumed by each audio stream (stereo) | 50 UDP packets per second averaging 201 bytes each (includes the IP header but not physical layer header)Therefore, UDP (+ IP header) bandwidth is: 10050 bytes/sec (average) for each audio stream (~80Kbps)Discovery and keep-alive control traffic is negligible compared to this |
Bandwidth consumed by each audio stream (mono) | 50 UDP packets per second averaging 121 bytes each (includes the IP header but not physical layer header)Therefore, UDP (+ IP header) bandwidth is: 6050 bytes/sec (average) for each audio stream (~48Kbps)Discovery and keep-alive control traffic is negligible |
