30 days "commercial free" would be a nice benefit for on air use.it takes my ears sometime to decide what presets i like most . I like a few days in between setting to see if i like whats dialed up..Web site is groovy…
PCM (16bit @ 8 or 24 kHz) with the Instreamer 100.Um, maybe that stream would be ok on dedicated IP less than 1000 ft.wish it was at least 32 or 44.1 Appreciate all your input.Will check on that software an eng friend wrote.He guards it closely;-)
Audio processing is more my gig.I have owned and used the 6EXI and the 8500 and this BBP software is just darn amazing…sold those high end boxes.
Thanks Yorkie.Just looking a different solutions.i know there are quite a few out there.Have you seen the new Digigram pyko in/pyco out boxes? Barix came out with the barix 500 model.I just refuse to do STL(classic Hits) with MP3 so,i would not use the Barix 100 series.could use the old trusty 950 stl,one is available,for live broadcast would probably be better,An eng friend actually built his own software and it works great.what 5 ghz ip links are you using? That nanostation m5 is hot around here.for $79.00 it’s a bargain…Thanks again.
Man,what a hassle.Now you’re talking 50 euro for this program.My 279.00 is a deal for state side buyers,which is the point of my posting.I will say this card is amazing.Sold 2 ,one left.
Some of you guys can be asked what time is it, and you tell them how to build a swiss watch.come on guys,lighten up….200 euro plus the 40 euro shipping to U>S> via dhl would be about $315.00 US,sweetie.so 279.00 is a good deal.Post was meant for state side users having problems procurring this card.thanks for your concern,though.Do you know those folks in CA?;-)
200e would be 265.00 US….have you ever had math?[edit]
be nice kiddos 😉

[/edit]I’ll just get the scope and set the modded m_audio card i have.(Have an extra one if someone is interested).Latest asio release is very good and dam clean.Any date for the hardware box yet?
Wish that card was easier to procure in the U>S>..Poor distribution or poor demand for it in the U>S(one of the 2)…there’s bound to be a another card with straight DC output.
I agree,camclone.This design is aged way back to the 8400.Orban does not having the marketing prowess that Omnia does.Might help explain why omnia out sells them by a huge margin.The clear winner will be the omnia 11.
Hope the 8600 is more than a rehashed 8500.This O 11 is a killer and will sell like mink coats on dollar days..
will check it out.Actually i was looking at STL solutions with limited band width,i found the aac 128 or FLAC from uncompressed sources to sound the best.have not experimented with the later stuff, but would not use it for Broadcast FM.
I’ll take 128 AAC over anything AAC+…2nd choice would be FLAC..
In my opinion, the best bitrate/quality compromise for HE-AAC=AAC+=aacPlus is 48 kbps. Lower than that the artifacts are more pronounced, higher than that and the artifacts don’t get significantly less reduced. Sometimes (for mobile streaming, for example) you need to go to 32 kbps, but IMO 48 kbps is the ideal bitrate for HE-ACC.
However, although HE-AAC at 48 kbps sounds best of all other codecs, that does not mean it sounds excellent. Again, it’s the best codec for very low bitrates, but the sound quality is a compromise. It does have wide frequency response at the expense of metallic and gritty high-end, due to the artificial nature of SBR technology.
At 96 kbps, AAC outperforms it by a mile! In HE-AAC only the low band is coded with AAC, while the high band is synthesized, whereas in AAC the whole spectrum is codec with AAC. That does not work so well at very low bitrates (64 kbps stereo and below), but at higher bitrates (96 kbps and higher) it works much better than the AAC plus SBR synthesized high band combination. At 128 kbps, AAC was found to be transparent in EBU testing and it indeed sounds excellent (for final transmission coding; as always keep your sources uncompressed!).
To summarize, for streaming I would advise:
<= 64 kbps —> HE-AAC (v1 seems to be just as good as v2, despite marketing claims)
>= 96 kbps —> AACNot familiar with your xmtr,does it have a jumper in it where you can choose high or low impedence? 10k into a 50 ohm mpx input is an obvious problem.You might contact your xmtr manufacturer…50 ohm mpx out into 50 ohm mpx in is perfect.Also most exciters with 10k input require 3.5 ppv for 100 per cent modulation.
