Jump start your station’s audio with the most flexible broadcast processor on the planet. With its flexible hardware and firmware, you can select between optimized processing for FM, AM, and digital radio, including internet radio streams, DAB and HD radio. The multi-band AGC corrects and equalizes a wide range of input audio levels,while the peak limiters ensure your broadcast has tightly controlled peak levels. A stereo encoder, and RDS encoder, Shoutcast client and server for streaming in and out of the box, Plan-B audio backup switching and a sophisticated actions and triggers monitoring system complete the package.

Not only does it allow processing of FM and AM, it also will simultaneously process the audio independently for internet radio streams or digital radio services like DAB & HD radio.
The DSPXtra contains so much in one box; The award winning Ariane AGC, a six band limiter, a stereo encoder, an RDS encoder, Shoutcast capability for streaming in and out of the box,
Plan-B audio backup switching and a sophisticated actions and triggers monitoring system.

A tri-mode broadcast processor for FM, AM and digital radio. Maximum flexibility and at a great price.
Dozens of expertly created factory presets enable radio stations to sound great right out of the box. Experts can tweak hundreds of parameters as much as they desire.
Wide-ranging RMS levelling pulls up low level and tames hot signals effortlessly, ensuring a consistent sonic signature, no matter what audio you feed it.
Stereo (MPX) generation & peak limiting offer low distortion audio and compliant bandwidth through advanced anti-aliased protection technology.

INTELLIGENT BACKUP AND MONITORING
With PlanB silence detection and source switching as standard, DSPXmini Encore can automatically revert to auxiliary sources or onboard flash memory if the signal problems arise, keeping you on-air at all times. Our latest remote control and monitoring software allows you to interact with your processor from anywhere in the world and even listen in over an IP connection in real-time.

FLEXIBLE AND ALERT
Our all new intuitive alarms and events system allows you to assign intelligent actions to any rear panel (digital or analog) GPIO event.
Take complete control over each event by mapping it to a set of do this when and do this now actions for the most versatile and customizable alert configuration possible.

REMOTE CONTROL
HTML5, FTP, Telnet, SNMP & RS232 Remote Control with IP streaming allows you to monitor and control your processor from anywhere in the world. Even listen in over an IP connection.

BEAUTY AND BRAINS
The front panel is machined from a single block of aluminum with a high contrast OLED displaying the menu system and tri-coloured LED blocks providing clear, real-time metering.
The 3 silicone soft keys work dynamically with the display to control the most significant functions and the electronics are all wrapped up into our lightweight brushed aluminum chassis.
