Artist Connection / Streamsoft Inc.

What Artist Connection / Streamsoft Inc. does

Streamsoft Inc. (dba Artist Connection) is a Sonoma County, California-based software company that operates a cloud-native streaming platform purpose-built for uncompressed multichannel immersive audio (Sony 360 Reality Audio, AURO-3D, Apple Spatial Audio/Atmos, MPEG-H, MQA) paired with high-resolution video. The platform is delivered through iOS and Android mobile apps, an Android TV app (NVIDIA SHIELD), browser-based Studio and Consumer portals, and an OEM/embedded surface area via the AC Connect REST API and an iOS Mobile SDK that is licensed into third-party apps such as MQA, Sony, TIDAL, PeerTracks, nugs.net, and WOWOW. Core platform capabilities include an Artist Approval workflow for remote immersive-mix sign-off, built-in e-commerce (ticket sales, subscriptions, QR codes), white-label configuration, and custom DSP and specialized media libraries developed in-house.

The company organizes its go-to-market around four vertical segments: music venues (e.g., Sweetwater Music Hall, Kiyosato Moeginomura Museum), audio manufacturers (KORG, NVIDIA, GOER DYNAMICS, StreamUnlimited), music labels, and artists/producers (msm-studios, Coast Mastering, Design w Sound). Revenue is generated through three subscription tiers (Essential $15/mo, Pro $65/mo, Enterprise $300/mo), usage-based bandwidth overage ($0.15/GB), content and ticket transaction fees via the e-commerce layer, white-label managed-services contracts, and SDK licensing to media-tech and streaming clients. Distribution is primarily digital, supplemented by direct enterprise sales for custom implementations and industry-event presence at NAMM, CES, AES, and High End Munich.

Streamsoft is privately held, founder-led by Jon Reichbach (CEO), and operates with a 7-person team as of the input snapshot. The company has no disclosed institutional funding or M&A history; the sub-brand Pure Audio Streaming represents its move into direct-to-consumer audiophile distribution, with an Early Adopter Program launched at High End Munich 2025 ahead of a mid-summer 2025 GA.
