BW Broadcast DSPXtra Audio Processor

When you don’t want to pay the high price of many “high-end” FM or HD processors, yet can’t afford anything less than the best for your digital broadcast services, the DSPXtra-FM or DSPXtra-HD are your best choice.

No other FM or HD processor, at any price, has both a BW Broadcast six-band look-ahead limiter and an integrated Ariane RMS leveller. The DSPXtra-FM and DSPXtra-HD  processors gives you a competitive edge—and builds listenership and revenue—by enabling you to achieve the tailored sound and loudness needed to make your station distinctive.
 
The DSPXtra-FM & DSPXtra-HD harnesses 22 DSPs to keep your station’s sound consistently loud and artefact free. In addition to multi-band limiting and the Ariane leveller, the processing core includes parametric and shelf bass enhancement, along with composite clipping with pilot protection.
 
Dual processing paths make the DSPX-FM effectively two processors in one, feeding both your analogue transmitter and a digital service, such as HD Radio, DAB, DRM or an Internet stream. The FM analogue path has a multi-band distortion-controlled clipper, while the second path, tapped via analogue and AES/EBU digital output connectors, incorporates a bit rate optimized, look-ahead limiter.
 
BW Broadcast’s proven presets, as well as intuitive local and remote interfaces help you get your DSPXtra-FM on air fast. Whether you are a processing novice or expert, you’ll easily achieve a signature sound for your station’s format. And as you have come to expect from BW Broadcast, the compact DSPXtra-FM & DSPXtra-HD are designed for unsurpassed reliability and trouble-free operation in the world’s most challenging installations.
 
Front panel LED audio metering and front panel USB interface aid setup and operation. As with all BW Broadcast FM & HD processors, the DSPXtra-FM & DSPXtra-HD has BW Broadcasts’ world-class stereo encoder, a real-time clock for preset scheduling, preset A/B switching, graphic LCD display, plus serial and TCP/IP remote control interfaces, and both analogue and AES/EBU digital inputs with configurable silence switching.
 
The BW Broadcast DSPXtra Series presents a carefully developed series of processors, with a version designed to exactly meet your needs and budget. For additional processing power and even greater loudness, consider the ultimate broadcast processor, the BW Broadcast DSPXtreme-FM. On a tight budget? Look no further than consider the DSPX and DSPXmini whether for FM, AM or HD, BW Broadcast has a processor to suit you.
 
Custom processing at off-the-shelf prices, the DSPXtra Series offers exceptional value in listener-building processing power.
