Features:

Gated and "windowed" AGC gain
Unique, adjustable "syllabic leveling".
3 dynamic compression bands with selectable crossovers
4 sections of parametric EQ plus an effective 'Bass Punch' function.
Independent adjustments of 'Density' and 'Smooth/Loud'.
GPIO, Web/email/SNMP for controls and alarms
Built-in real-time clock and headphone jack
Analog, AES-digital, streaming in/out (no MPX)
Selectable 20kHz broadband processing and FM specification
A great 'utility' processor; ideal before STL/codecs
Full-featured "responsive" web interface works on desktop and mobile devices

Specifications:

Frequency response (bypassed processing)

Analog flat mode (I/O): 50Hz - 20kHz, ±0.25dB
Flat mode (Digital I/O): 20Hz - 20kHz, ±0.05dB
FM mode: 50Hz - 15kHz, ±0.25dB; 75μs/50μs

Distortion (bypassed processing)

Analog I/O: <0.02% THD (Ref: +24dBu I/O)
AES Digital I/O: <0.002% THD (ref: 0dBFS I/O)

Signal-to-noise (bypassed processing)

Analog I/O: >105dB (Ref: +24dBu I/O)
AES Digital I/O: 120dB (Ref: 0dBFS I/O)

Separation

Analog I/O: >100dB, 20Hz - 20kHz
AES Digital I/O: >140dB, 20Hz - 20kHz

Programming line inputs

Analog: balanced active (XLR) accepts line levels from -15dBu to +15dBu; +24dBu clipping
AES Digital: (XLR) accepts line levels between -30dBFS and 0dBFS at sample rates from 32kHz to 96kHz
IP Streaming: accepts all Icecast/SHOUTcast MP3, Ogg and AAC streams

Program line outputs

Analog: Active balance (XLR) provides -12dBu to +18dBu for 100% modulation; +24dBu clipping, 200Ω source
AES Digital: balanced (XLR) provides -30dBFS to 0dBFS with 100% modulation; selectable sample rates of 32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz
Feature: Outputs can be set for flat response or preset in FM mode.

Program Signal Latency (delay)

1.5ms bypass, 3ms analog I/O, 3.5ms digital I/O (typical)

Network port

TCP/IP (RJ45) network connection for remote setup/operation and audio streaming in/out; full support for SNMP control

GPIO Ports

3 GPI, 3 GPOs with assignable functions and logical polarity

Headphone jack

Front panel (TRS) 3.5 mm

Internal test tone generator

20Hz - 20kHz; variable frequency and level

Alarms

Local closures (GPIO), browser interface, SNMP and SMS/email alarms for analog, digital and streaming audio loss; maintains daily, weekly, monthly records

Scheduler

Dayparting or "signature" processing (e.g. the talent's microphone) is simplified with a real-time clock on board and setup-preset programming.

Audio processing

AGC: capture interval ±15dB; gated with dual-speed "window" operation
Leveling: variable "syllabic" compression 2:1
EQ: 4 parametric equalization sections
Punch' Bass: variable bass boost
Compression: 3 bands with selectable crossover, variable master controls and single band drive, plus r.m.s./peak "density" adjustment
Final peak control: no-clip feed-forward broadband limitation with independent high-frequency protection for FM mode
