Radio.co launches one click audio processor

Radio.co has launched EDGE Audio Processor for online radio stations.

The cloud based software is designed to monitor and shape a station’s output, with one click activation from the Radio.co dashboard for scheduled and live broadcasts.

EDGE uses tools including Automatic Gain Control, EQ, limiting and multiband compression to balance levels across music, speech and other station content.

Radio.co says the processor can help online stations achieve a more consistent and polished sound without requiring external equipment or detailed audio engineering knowledge.

The company says EDGE has an ultra low latency rate of 7.8 milliseconds, designed to keep delay below the point where listeners would notice it.

Stations can choose from 16 mastered presets, tuned by audio engineers, including CHR Power for Top 40 formats, Talk Radio Focus for speech, Club Dance for electronic music and Smooth Jazz for a more refined output.

Radio.co CEO and Founder James Mulvany said: “Audio processing is often the missing piece for an online station to compete with FM stations.”

James added: “EDGE Audio Processor helps level the playing field, making this technology more accessible to those stations that don’t have huge budgets.”

The processor is available as a free demo for any radio stream. For Radio.co customers, it is offered as an add on for Lite, Standard and Plus plans, and included with the company’s highest plan.
