Behind The Sound - Omnia VOLT Audio Processing Brings "Clarity and Punch" to Livewire Ecosystem
Behind The Sound - Clarity and Flexibility with Telos Alliance Livewire Ecosystem
Our guest for this episode is Tom Van Gorkom. Tom has been in his role as broadcast engineer for Radio Esperanza (Hope Radio) for the last 8 years. He was recently tasked with upgrading all the equipment. When he got to the studio consoles, he reviewed options, talked to users, and eventually chose Telos-Axia. He continued to remodel their studios, one at a time, and outfit them with Axia equipment. Then came the point a few years ago when he got tired of messing with a Windows streaming computer for their webplayer and phone app, so they went with Z/IPStream R/1 so they could feed it with Livewire and have control over the audio routing to it.
More recently their audio processors randomly locked up at transmitter sites, so they decided to try out Omnia VOLT. Tom was impressed with the interface, flexibility, and clarity. Tom then implemented Omnia MPX Nodes to clear up STL distortion and overshoots, which allowed them to install the VOLT at the studio. Sure enough, it worked well, allowing them to send the processed audio to two FM stations from one VOLT fed by Livewire.
In March, they replaced a 30 year old AM transmitter and tried VOLT there, as well. This combination has led to their AM station sounding the best and loudest ever.
