What SonicPanel Brings to Your Station.
Most radio panels treat your station as being in one of two states. Either the automation is playing your library, or you are live and the automation is switched off. That works, but it makes a thirty second announcement into a production.
SonicPanel is built around the idea that those two states should overlap. You can drop a jingle or your own voice into the stream while the AutoDJ keeps playing, and hand back to the automation after a live show. If your station is mostly automated but you want to sound present, that is the whole reason this panel exists.

Everything Included.
Every SonicPanel plan comes packed with premium features.
AutoDJ With Scheduling
Free SSL Streaming
Listener Statistics
HTML5 Web Player
DJ Manager
Playlist Intervals
What You Can Do in SonicPanel.
The features of the SonicPanel radio panel you log in to, grouped by what you will use them for.
AutoDJ and scheduling
AutoDJ for SHOUTcast v1, v2.5, v2.6 and Icecast. Schedule playlists at intervals, in hourly slots or by day, and fire jingles, news or ads at exact minutes.
Uploads and music library
Drag-and-drop uploads in the browser, or FTP. Folders you upload become playlists, and library tracks drag straight into a playlist.
Listener statistics
Live listeners every 5 seconds, a world map by country and device, and reports you can export as TXT, PDF or Excel, including SoundExchange-ready formats.
DJs and live shows
Separate DJ accounts with their own permissions. DJs stream live, start or stop the station, and their photo shows on the player while they are on air.
Players and widgets
Full-page and single players with your choice of effects and backgrounds, plus a widget that shows when a DJ is live.
Your brand, your language
Your own logo and favicon, with SonicPanel names and copyright notices removed, in 10 languages, with free SSL renewed automatically.
Your Existing Broadcast Software Still Works.
Worth saying plainly, because it is the first thing people ask about a panel they have not used. Underneath, this is standard SHOUTcast or Icecast. Your encoder connects with a server address, a port and a password, exactly as it always has.
Nothing needs replacing, and the live features are handled in the panel rather than requiring special software at your end.
The Features That Matter Most.
Practical live radio tooling built to make routine station tasks faster and smoother.
Your Voice, Without Stopping the Music
Insert your own voice from the microphone like a jingle while the AutoDJ keeps running. A weather update, a shout out or a station identification takes seconds rather than a switch to a live show.
Jingles and Announcements on Demand
Trigger a jingle, a sting or a prerecorded announcement live over the automation. Announcements can also be turned from text into speech, useful for routine items nobody wants to record again and again.
A Player for Your Website
Pick one of the public player widgets and embed it on your site, with no web developer needed.
On Air in Three Steps.
Getting your station broadcast-ready takes just three straightforward steps.
Bitrate & Listener Count
Pick the bitrate for your audio stream and the listener capacity for your audience.
Upload & Schedule
Load your library, build playlists and set the schedule. Add presenter logins for anyone going live.
Go Live Whenever
Connect your encoder for full shows, or drop in jingles and voice inserts for short live moments.
Live Hand-overs Without Dead Air.
Each presenter gets their own DJ account with the permissions you set. When they connect for a show, the AutoDJ steps aside, and it resumes when they disconnect. For short moments, they can drop their voice in like a jingle instead.
For a station running mostly on automation with volunteers dropping in for an hour here and there, this is the difference between sounding scheduled and sounding staffed.
Who SonicPanel Is Built For.
SonicPanel scales to support any broadcasting need, from passionate hobbyists to large organizations.
Community Stations With Volunteers
Presenters come and go, each with their own slot and their own login, and the automation covers everything in between without anyone managing the handover.
Talk and Interactive Stations
Frequent live announcements, listener interaction and time sensitive content over a music bed. Live jingles and voice inserts are built for this.
Stations Without a Web Developer
The public player widgets give you an embeddable player without hiring anybody.
Stations That Want to Sound Bigger
Mostly automated, but with regular live presence so listeners hear a person rather than a playlist.
Why Run SonicPanel With Ucartz.
Stable, feature-rich audio streaming infrastructure designed to keep your station on the air without interruptions.
Free Basic Managed Support
Quick help with panel access, stream and port checks, encoder connections and DNS pointing is included on every plan.
Support Around the Clock
Open a ticket at any hour. Once a ticket is open, you can follow up by live chat or WhatsApp with the ticket number.
99.9 Percent Uptime
Our service level agreement commits to 99.9 percent uptime each month, with credits if we miss it.
DDoS Protection on Request
SonicPanel plans have no location choice at checkout. Ask us before you order if DDoS protection matters to your station.
Station Moves on Request
Our engineers can move your library, playlists and settings as on-demand work, from $8 per 15 minutes or $28 per hour.
Listener Limits You Can See
Each plan states its listener limit, from 160 to unlimited, and AutoDJ space is unlimited on every plan.
When CentovaCast Is the Better Choice.
Worth saying, because the wrong panel is a frustrating thing to discover later. If your station runs almost entirely on automation and you rarely go live, the live tooling here is capacity you will not use, and CentovaCast may suit you better.
If you want to host stations for other people, the reseller plans are the right shape. If your station has grown beyond what shared hosting comfortably carries, a dedicated server is the next step.
CentovaCast Hosting
Prefer CentovaCast's AutoDJ scheduler and listener reports? Same prices, same listener limits.

Want a built-in browser-based Web DJ instead of connecting an external encoder? AzuraCast has one built in.

What Every Station Asks First.
The questions broadcasters ask most, answered plainly before you pick a plan.
How much bandwidth do I need?
Bitrate times listeners. 100 listeners at 128 kbps need 12.8 Mbps, and each listener uses about 57.6 MB an hour. At 128 kbps, 1 GB of AutoDJ space holds about 260 four-minute songs.
Does my stream need HTTPS?
Yes, if your website uses HTTPS. Browsers block a plain http stream on a secure page, so the player stays silent. Our radio panels serve streams over HTTPS.
How do I go live?
Connect free tools such as BUTT or Mixxx with the details in your panel. AutoDJ steps aside while you are live and takes over again when you leave.
Do I need a music licence?
Hosting gives you the server; music licences are the broadcaster's responsibility, for example PPL and PRS in the UK, SoundExchange in the US, or PPL India and IPRS in India. This is general information, not legal advice.
Is the panel kept up to date?
Yes. Our panels run their latest releases: every server is checked for updates daily and audited monthly, and Icecast and the other streaming parts update with the panel.
Can you move my station from another panel?
Yes, as paid Hire an Expert work, for example from Centova Cast to AzuraCast with your music, playlists and settings. It is not part of free managed support, so ask us for a quote first.

Your station, your look
Station name, logo, player and public pages carry your branding.
