Chapter 1: Logging In – Your First Step

Your journey with SonicPanel begins with a simple login. As an Online Audience client, you’ll receive your unique SonicPanel credentials via email immediately after activation.

• Locate Your Credentials: Check your welcome email from Online Audience.
• Navigate to the URL: Open your browser and enter the specific SonicPanel host address provided.

Chapter 2: The SonicPanel Dashboard

The SonicPanel dashboard is your command center. At Online Audience, we prioritize clarity, and the SonicPanel layout provides exactly that.

Key areas to watch include Server Status (ensure it’s green!), Listener Count (watch your Online Audience grow!), and the AutoDJ Status.

Chapter 3: Setting Up Your AutoDJ

AutoDJ allows your station to broadcast 24/7. This ensures your Online Audience always has something to listen to, even when you aren’t at the microphone.

1. Navigate to AutoDJ in the SonicPanel menu.
2. Upload your MP3 files via the File Manager shown above.
3. Create a playlist and add your tracks.
4. Click “Start AutoDJ”.

Chapter 4: The Power of SSL Streaming

Modern web security is non-negotiable. To reach your Online Audience on Chrome, Safari, or mobile devices, you must use an SSL link. SonicPanel makes this easy by providing a dedicated HTTPS stream URL.

Always use the SSL link when embedding players on your website to ensure 100% compatibility for your Online Audience.
