BW Broadcast DSPXtreme-FM/HD

FM/HD Audio Processor

The DSPXtreme-FM/HD is for stations using digital radio services, such as HD Radio, DAB, DRM or Internet streaming. Effectively two processors in one, the digital services second path incorporates a bit rate optimized, look-ahead limiter and is tapped via analogue and AES/EBU digital output connectors. An adjustable 14 second delay allows for synchronisation of the FM and HD outputs for full compatibly with all HD radio transmission setups.

Behind the elegant front panel with its touch-screen control are 24 DSPs to keep your station’s sound loud, clean and consistent. With the DSPXtreme-FM, you can achieve the most open and fatigue-free sound with deep bass and transient punch.

Dual front panel touch screen LCD screens aid setup and operation. As with all BW Broadcast FM processors, the DSPXtreme-FM has BW Broadcasts’ world-class stereo encoder, a real-time clock for preset scheduling, preset A/B switching, plus serial and TCP/IP remote control interfaces and both analogue and AES/EBU digital inputs with configurable silence switching.
