Introducing AXIS Audio Manager Edge: Local Audio Management Made Simple and Scalable

Posted by Donald Peters on Jul 2nd 2025

Whether you're running a boutique retail store, a mid-sized school campus, or a small office complex, managing your audio system shouldn’t be complicated. That’s exactly why AXIS Audio Manager Edge exists—a powerful, onboard software application that gives you complete control over your local audio network, right from your browser or smartphone.

Let’s take a look at what makes this solution ideal for efficient, flexible, and scalable site-wide audio management.

What is AXIS Audio Manager Edge?

AXIS Audio Manager Edge is Axis Communications' purpose-built software for managing audio systems at local sites. Whether you're broadcasting live or scheduled announcements, background music, or advertisements, the system allows you to configure up to 20 audio zones—each with its own dedicated content stream.

Control, schedule, and monitor audio distribution from a single leader device—no server or cloud dependency required (unless you want it). It’s optimized for local control, but remote management is possible via AXIS Audio Manager Center for multi-site scalability.

Why Use AXIS Audio Manager Edge?

✅ Simple Setup

With just a browser and your audio devices connected to a network, you can configure your entire system in minutes. Define zones, upload content, and schedule broadcasts with an intuitive interface. Use AXIS Device Manager to streamline device onboarding.

✅ Zone-Based Audio Control

Group your devices into "physical zones" (like departments or rooms). Each zone can have unique music, messages, or ads. You can also target specific devices within those zones for granular control—ideal for paging or announcements.

✅ Flexible Content Scheduling

Plan background music for store hours, play advertisements on loop, or schedule safety announcements:

  • Schedule content by day and time

  • Tie schedules to opening hours

  • Offset events (e.g., "15 minutes before closing")

✅ Live & Pre-recorded Paging

Whether you're using a SIP mic, VoIP phone, or AXIS mobile app, paging is seamless. Support for live one-way, two-way, or media clip playback gives you freedom to design the communication style that fits your needs.

✅ Mobile-Friendly Control

Adjust volumes, switch music sources, and send pages directly from your phone with the AXIS Audio Manager mobile app (available on iOS and Android). Great for on-the-fly changes by in-store staff.

✅ Built-In System Monitoring

The dashboard shows you which devices are online, what content is playing, and alerts you to any audio disruptions. Health monitoring means you stay one step ahead of technical issues.

Advanced Features You’ll Appreciate

  • Content Priority Management: Decide whether a paging call should interrupt music, or if ads can override announcements.

  • Sound Calibration: Adjust audio gain and normalize volume across devices and zones for consistent listening levels.

Integrated Accessories & Tools

  • SD Card Support: Store media locally on the leader device for robust offline operation.

  • Export/Import Configurations: Easily migrate or back up site setups.

Getting Started is Easy
