what’s new! / telos / TELOS VX: THE CONVERGENCE OF IP-AUDIO AND STUDIO TELEPHONE SYSTEMS Telos VX is the world's first multi-studio VoIP phone system for broadcast. It's scalable to provide its advanced phone interface capabilities to facilities with a few studios or dozens. VX uses Ethernet as its network backbone, a powerful yet simple way to share phone lines among studios and connect system components.
what’s new! / telos / VX ENGINE The VX Engine is the heart of the system. This is where all hybrids are housed, call control and audio processing occurs. Since VX is an IP-based system, I/O is only limited by network bandwidth and throughput resulting in an unprecedented capacity of up to 80 available incoming lines, each with its own third-generation Telos Adaptive Digital Hybrid featuring Advanced Echo Cancellation developed by Fraunhofer.
what’s new! / telos / VX PRODUCER Windows™-based VX Producer software streamlines call screening, recording and editing with its intuitive, user friendly interface. VX Producer gives talk show producers all the information they need, including caller status, screener's comments, Caller ID and time per call for up to 12 lines.

Live calls or pre-recorded, interviews or audience participation, one thing's certain: phone segments are an integral part of today's fast-paced radio. But up to now, the phone system was separate from the on-air console; audio was shared, but little else.

YOU CAN’T USE JUST ANY PROCESSOR TO DO THE JOB OF AN OMNIA. A question was posed to Frank Foti, a few years ago, by an editor of the trade press. The proverbial, “where does Omnia go from here?” Frank’s reply was simple, “Our next offering must restore quality back into the on-air signal, while maintaining competitive texture.” Easier said than done. Yet once again, he and his team have delivered! Omnia.11 is not just the next step forward from our prior offerings.
New Ultra LoIMD Distortion Controlled Clipper System Audio processing for conventional broadcast (FM and AM) has reached extreme levels. Various methods are available today capable of creating LOUD competitive signals, but at the expense of perceptible quality.
what’s new! /omnia / FEATURE PACKED FUTURE (cont) MPX Tool… a very cool tool developed by Leif Claesson. This embedded application displays the FM multiplex (MPX) signal, peak modulation, pilot level, as well as a preview of the deviated FM carrier.
FINDING THE ACHILLES HEEL The path to find the next frontier in processing began with a simple, but somewhat frightening, exercise: careful and extremely critical listening of the status quo. As a developer it requires leaving your own ego at the door and being prepared to face some harsh realities. Suffice it to say, we were about to embark upon a humbling experience. THE PAIN Modern music mastering practices generate content that is noticeably rich in deep bass, presence, and treble.
what’s new! /omnia / The challenging problems stated here are not based upon clipping functions of singular frequencies. Modern clipping methods, with distortion management, reduce clipping side effects over a preset range and only up to a specified level. It appears modern recording techniques either overload the present distortion mechanisms, or they cannot process this content aggressively without generating this frying/sizzling-like distortion.
UNDER THE MICROSCOPE Performing an IMD test on a clipping system is quite easy. Two audio frequencies are mixed together, then passed through the system under test and the output is observed on a scope and spectrum analyzer. In this instance, the clipping systems all employed the required 15 kHz low pass filtering and zero-overshoot control mechanisms found in broadcast processors. Figure-4, Clipper Induced IMD: 100 Hz & 5 kHz Figure-5, Clipper Induced IMD: 100 Hz & 7.
what’s new! /omnia / THE ANSWER IS... … not in the number of bands. Anyone who thinks adding more bands of clipping and filtering to the system is wasting DSP cycles, or computer MIPS, along with wasting your time with a lot of marketing rhetoric. The answer lies in understanding the range of frequencies that generate both harmonic and intermodulation distortion, then applying various masking means to suppress both simultaneously as they are generated.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This is dedicated to the loving memories of Jim Somich and Mathew Connor. Two passionate, dedicated, driven, and innovative engineers who understood great sounding radio, how to get there, and the advantages of “dial-dominance!” You both are truly missed.

what’s new! /axia / POWERSTATION, THE ADVANCED, INTEGRATED CONSOLE ENGINE THAT’S BUILT LIKE A TANK UNPACK IT, INSTALL IT… FORGET IT. Meet PowerStation: the latest console advancement from Axia, the company that invented IP-Audio.
THE NETWORK We designed PowerStation to be the world’s first networked broadcast console that doesn’t need a network. It’s completely self-contained: it works flawlessly as part of a large network, but if you unplug its network cable, it’s completely unaffected. Think of it as an “island of reliability.” Not only does PowerStation make it easy to build stand-alone, independent studios, it also makes it easier than ever to network them together.
what’s new! /axia / powerstation / mixing consoles ELEMENT 2.0 POWERSTATION WORKS WITH THE AXIA ELEMENT BROADCAST MIXING CONSOLE With more than 1,500 consoles already on the air, Element is a huge hit. And now, thanks to suggestions from our clients, it’s better than ever. Element 2.
what’s new! /axia / NOW HEAR THIS If you can hear it, you should be able to record it, edit it, or get it on the air. If you can talk to it, you should be able to cue it and feed it mix-minus or IFB. Anything else is tin cans on a string. IP-Intercom puts no barriers between your broadcast audio and your communications channels. Unlimited full-bandwidth access to any studio, news or sports venue, office, hallway, broom closet or latrine — if that’s what you’re into.
INTERCOMS EVERYWHERE Axia SoftCom software allows anyone with a networked computer to have a virtual intercom station. Just think: you'll never again lose track of who's where when you need them to get on-air or get you coffee. WHERE THERE’S A WIRE The advantages of IP and Ethernet – low cost, easy installation and maintenance, efficient infrastructure – are a given. IP links everything, and now this includes your intercom system. Installation is a simple single-click connection.
what’s new! /axia / THE AXIA AUDIO NETWORK. REPLACE THE ROUTER Networking revolutionized computing. Now it’s doing the same for broadcasting! Before the network, building a complex facility with lots of I/O to send to multiple destinations required a router, a big, complex piece of proprietary machinery. But now there’s no need for an expensive router — Axia makes it simple and economical to design a routing switcher custom-tailored to your specific needs.
PathfinderPC and PathfinderPRO Router Control Software enable creation of sophisticated custom routing applications — from simple point-to-point routes to multi-point scene changes that can reconfigure an entire facility manually, at a specified time, or in response to an event trigger. Pathfinder automatically scans the network, gathering information about audio sources and destinations. Administrators can then “point and click” to send audio from one place to another.
REPLACE THE ROUTER network what’s new! /axia / THE AXIA AUDIO NETWORK. NEW 8-Button OLED SoftSwitch provides high-visibility Router Control from any studio turret or equipment rack. Its eight bright, sharp OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) readouts can display anything from simple text to color photos, and can be seen from nearly any angle — across the table, or across the room. Use PathfinderPC to program custom routing commands you can invoke instantly with the touch of a button.
