## Deployment Overview A server on site (a Mini Server, or a laptop running the Audio Router app) combined with an audio interface, takes the audio feed from your sound desk and sends it over the internet to DeepL's cloud for translation. Attendees listen to or read translations on their phones, or follow along on large screens. Streaming depends on WiFi or cellular coverage at the venue. ## Choose Your Setup | | Mini Server | Laptop | |---|---|---| | What it is | A compact box that runs the DeepL server, plus an audio interface | A MacBook running the Audio Router app, plus an audio interface | | Audio feed | XLR or ¼" cable from your sound desk into the audio interface | XLR or ¼" cable from your sound desk into the audio interface | | Network | Ethernet cable | Wired Ethernet through a USB-C adapter | | Power | PoE through the network cable, or a power adapter | MacBook charger | ## Setup Videos ### Mini Server

### Laptop

## Requirements ### Physical Requirements * Live audio feed routed directly to DeepL via a ¼" or XLR cable. * Electrical outlet providing single-phase 120V-240V. If your network connection provides PoE, the Mini Server doesn't need a separate power adapter. * Wired network connection with a minimum uplink/downlink speed of 10 Mbps or better. A hardline connection is required, not WiFi. ### Physical Footprint Both setups are small enough to sit on a tabletop or equipment shelf: a compact Mini Server and audio interface, or a MacBook and audio interface. The setup videos above show how everything connects. ### Internet Uplink Requirements * Minimum 10 Mbps upload/download speed for the DeepL server, depending on the number of streams. A DeepL stream will rarely exceed 1 Mbps upload. ### DeepL requires ~1 Mbps per input stream ### For latency and jitter requirements, detailed technical specifications, and advanced configuration guidance, see our DeepL Wireless Networking Requirements ## Provide Your Own Audio Interface Any class-compliant USB audio interface with an XLR or ¼" input will work.
