Audoo Audio Meters are secure, GDPR compliant and easy to install, making them an ideal scalable solution for our PRO & CMO partners. Rolling out Audio Meters provides partners with a new age of public performance insights from real-world data feeds across the globe.
Multi-Patented Technology
Our circular microphone array and cutting-edge signal processing techniques allow us to cut through the noise of busy environments to accurately recognise the music being played.

Automated Reporting
The data collected by our Audio Meters is distributed directly and securely to our PRO & CMO partners, eliminating the need for manual sampling.

Premises
The Audio Meter consumes low levels of power (less than half of a USB phone charger’s power consumption) and should not increase your electricity bill by any noticeable level.
No, the music reports generated from the Audio Meter are used to accurately distribute the licence fees you are already paying. Your existing licence agreement allows you to play as much music as you like.
The Audio Meter does not need access to your internet/Wi-Fi. It has its own on-board connectivity and delivers global coverage straight out of the box. This means that once plugged in, the Audio Meter is connected, recognising music and uploading to the cloud in real-time, using its own connection.
Privacy & Security
No thanks, that's your business! Unlike other smart devices, our Audio Meters strip out foreground and environmental noise (like speech) to focus on the background music playing. There is also no on-board language processing, meaning they can't recognise any conversations or speech within a premises. Additionally, Audio Meters have been designed to never store or transmit any audio, which provides an additional layer of security.
The public performance data captured by our Audio Meters is sent safely and securely to Performing Rights Organisations (PRO) and Collective Management Organisation (CMO) partners only. This is so our partners can distribute public performance royalties with improved accuracy, based on real-world data.
Yes, our Audio Meter is fully GDPR compliant. No sensitive information is used in any of our processing and no audio is ever stored on device, or transmitted from it. For more details, check out our privacy policy.
