Sound4 FM4 is the biggest product in the FM/HD range. You’ve got it - it’s THE market heavyweights’ competitor.
It’s based on our revolutionary algorithm concept: “HQ Sound”. In short this unique process doesn’t need a lot of bands to offer perfect sound stability. That’s why 4 band HQ Sound can easily surpass 5 or 6 traditional bands.
The flexibility of Sound4 FM4 is unique so it can be used for all types of programme:
- Demanding commercial radio will appreciate the power of the sound
- Dance, hip/hop, R&B radio… will finally discover real bass
- Rock radio will revere the precision of the guitars
- Jazz radio will be delighted with the contrast and depth of the instruments
- Talk or news radio will like the warm, precise voices with no distortion
- Classic radio will take pleasure in broadcasting works without destroying the different levels…
It’s the most complete solution: Sound4 FM4 can be used as an audio broadcaster thanks to the PCI entry driver, as a processor thanks to the processing functions, as an audio streamer thanks to the output audio driver and as a RDS coder…
Sound4FM4 has been especially developed for the new radio markets. Outputs can therefore be used simultaneously for FM and for HD, DAB, DRM and of course web radio.
The HQSound algorithm engine integrates the problems of output reduction at its heart, which is why it rejects nearly 80% of the audio artefacts generated by the output reduction encoders.
Much more than a mere processor, the Sound4FM4 card has Audio Backup functionalities. The only limit will then be the capacity of the hard disk to store audio files. It is thus the first processor that guarantees continuity of the On the Air program!
The Sound4FM4 integrates in option the basic RDS coder co-designed by SOUND4 and AUDEMAT, (Audemat is the undisputed world leader in this field).
The Sound4FM4 is 100% respectful of the various radio broadcast standards worldwide. It thus meets the following criteria:
- Excursion in frequency: once the level of output is fixed at 75Khz, it will never go beyond this maximum limit
- Multiplex power: present mainly in Europe, the ITU-R 412 recommendation can be applied perfectly in accordance with the requirements of the radio broadcasting authorities.
Since V2 upgrade, all HD/FM product range integrates in option functions of Audio IP transport.
The Audio IP range offer innovative functionalities expected by many users… mong them, it is possible to synchronize flows, switch IP flows with local insertion without re-coding (Pass trough). With Sequencer Light, it is also be possible to diffuse “sounds” locally from Sound4 cards “to fill” flow switch-over and hang-up....
On processing side, V2 integrates the optimization algorithms to guarantee maximum quality without the artifacts related to audio encodings.
