NOVIA 272 INOVONICS

NOVIA 272 FM STEREO PROCESSOR

The NOVIA 272 FM Stereo Processor is a halfrack digital audio processor with Stereo-Gen and RDS for FM radio transmission.

With a focus on ease of installation and use, the NOVIA 272 incorporates intuitive, menu-driven multilingual configuration and an IP/browser interface compatible with any PC or mobile device. Multiple factory and user-defined processing presets simplify the configuration process. IP connectivity also provides local fault alarms and email, as well as support for SNMP operation.

The NOVIA 272 accepts both program line and streaming inputs and allows remote IP audio monitoring.
