Radio All In One - Digiplexer 246 with audio backup and FM transmitter option
This “all-in-one” product is an evolution from years of Audemat expertise in this field. Actually, Audemat developed their first “all-in-one” products several years ago: the Digiplexer FMX series (FMX480 and FMX410) those units included an RDS and stereo encoder as well as a digital clipper. Last year Audemat launched at IBC 2007 a new generation of Digiplexer: the Digiplexer 214. This unit includes now a cutting-edge digital audio processor, 2 or 4 band. This year Audemat is showcasing their new addition to the line, the Digiplexer 246: a 3U unit with front panel touch screen for easy configuration. The Digiplexer 246 includes a world-class digital audio processor (2/4 band), RDS and stereo generators, transmitter remote control capabilities, backup audio over IP capabilities and an optional built-in FM exciter (1, 20 or 100W).
This unit is the first one in its class available on the market. The 4 band version features 2.8 Giga flops of processing power which allows a sampling frequency of 192 kHz for incoming audio and a 1.5 MHz sampling frequency for the final composite/MPX clipper. The Digiplexer series provides an analog feel to the sound with the accuracy you would expect from a digital processor. “The DSPs in the Audemat Digiplexer 246 feature one of the highest calculation rates available to date, 4 giga-flops.” states Nicolas Boulay, Vice President of Research and development for Audemat.
