Thank you for your purchase of the DSPXmini-HD digital audio broadcast processor.

Over the last decade the staff at BW Broadcast have observed broadcast processors from afar with fascination

and intrigue and shared a keen interest in digital audio processing. In January 2002 we decided on a whim that it

was time to have a go at designing our own digital audio processor. We knew that if we were going to design an

audio processor we had to do it the BW way and make the processor the most cost effective fully featured all-in-

one broadcast processor on the planet. The one aim, to make an audio processor that offered all of the features

found in the other more costly processors but at a fraction of the price. That processor was the DSPX!

Why DSPX? Like most products the concept is conceived nameless. The name DSPX came about for several

reasons. Firstly, the BW team couldn't decide on a name we liked so the concept became DSP processor X. As

the project developed it soon became clear that the processor was to be a processor for all seasons and so in

true algebraic fashion X represents many things. DSPX was born.

The DSPX became very popular but we were getting a lot of inquires for a more cost-effective solution. And so,

the DSPXmini was born as a scaled down version of DSPX with some reduced features like no LED metering,

no analog and headphones outputs.

The DSPXmini-HD before you is a processor designed specifically with digital audio broadcasting in mind. This

includes over-the-air digital broadcasting systems such as DAB, DAB+, HD Radio™ (IBOC) AM or FM, DRM,

DRM+, FMeXtra™ as well as Internet based broadcasting (streaming). By incorporating proven 4-band AGC, 4-

band limiter, linear filters for maximum transparency and precision low IMD codec-aware look-ahead limiting that

reduces coding artifacts, DSPXmini-HD offers consistency, cleanliness and adjustability never before seen in a

small processor like this.

Once again, thank you for your purchase; we hope you enjoy the DSPXmini-HD!
