Description
The Sound 4 Pcie Impact FM/HD 6 Band Processor is a processor built for stations and studios that want a consistent, competitive on-air sound. Sound4 engineered it to deliver polished, consistent audio, day in and day out.
Key Features
- <p><span style=”color:#000000″>A common problem users report is related to loudness variation between old and new titles
- In some cases, the auditor may even decide to switch the radio station during sequences of old and recent titles
- This is a concern for many program managers because a changing sound leads to loss of identity, and the auditor does not recognize their radio.</span></p>
- The 2-band AGC is based on the signal strength and no longer on the electrical average values
- It automatically detects differences in loudness to smooth out variations in sound perception
- Its structure ensures perfect stability and enhanced vocals combined with a good bass presence.</span></p>
- These changes affect the tone (loss of treble) but also the overall level of sound perception, so the sound “goes up and down” in addition to a “changing sound”.</span></p>
Specifications & Details
Therefore, in moving reception, when the FM receiver switches from stereo to mono and back to stereo, the sound variations and changes in level are reduced by over 90%. In the SOUND4 IMPACT processing chain, the stereo expander can then be used substantially without any limitations.</span></p> There is an easy answer as to why only 3 bands are used. This is due to the fact that the outputs of the limiter are added and they then feed the final limiter. The sum of the signals on three bands induces less variation in levels than in the case of 6 bands. The final limiter job is then more stable and therefore less subject to distortion when the processor is used for an important parameter such as loudness.</span></p> The structure of the final limiter consists of 3 limiters – one for basses, one for FM and one for the MPX. This is guaranteed to meet the expectations of the most demanding programs managers.</span></p> This option is called SOUND4 IP Connect, and can transmit a signal to up to 32 destinations.</span></p> It has six fully configurable encoders supporting MP3, AAC andHE-AAC v1 and v2. This option is compatible with the most popular servers (Icecast, Shoutcast, Flash, Wowza).</span></p> HE-ACC 24kbps). In this case, a compensation algorithm corrects the codec in real time in order to make sure that quality loss is minimal.</span></p> Due to the capacity of its hard disk to store audio files, it is the first processor that guarantees continuity of the on-air program, solving the problem of radio silence.</span></p> Share</span></p> This is a Telnet-like protocol that makes integration easier. All parameters are externally accessible and it is even possible to create scripts that will be sent by the broadcast automaton to change a PS, an input in mix mode, an IP route or an audio Preset. The SOUND4 IMPACT offers a large number of possibilities for the top performance that customers need.</span></p>
