More on the technology behind DAER Radio.

Now, doesn't this kid's radio station sound terrific?! And what a great playlist! So what were you doing when you were 15?! (Yeah, me too.) Well, before getting depressed, just bookmark it...

The full technology story, from Telos Systems (apparently private), is the subject of the next post.

OMNIA.NET DELIVERS THE SOUND QUALITY OF BROADCAST AUDIO TO INTERNET RADIO

SEATTLE, WA, October 14, 1998— The Cutting Edge Omnia.net made waves this year for Internet webcasters interested in improving the quality of their on-air sound. Recently, the Omnia.net was added to Internet Radio DAER (www.daer.com), receiving immediate response from audio consultants and fans alike.

"The Omnia.net provides us with consistent loudness and spectral balance," said Dan Anstandig, CEO of DAER Radio. Daniel added that, "within two hours of installing the Omnia.net our e-mail box started to fill up with compliments about our new sound."

"The Omnia.net digital audio processor enhances Internet audio quality by carefully controlling audio dynamics in multiple frequency bands," said Frank Foti, president of Cutting Edge. "It also has the ability to pre-condition the audio to minimize the effects of the data rate reduction that's needed for webcasting," he continued. "The system is configured by selecting processing presets that are based upon the transmission bitrate employed. It delivers a digital audio signal that is tailored for the requirements of transmission over the Internet and improves the listener experience with a sound that is identifiable and unique."

"Omnia.net provides webcasters with an essential tool," said Kevinn Tam, director of marketing and sales for Cutting Edge. "Just as a radio broadcaster wouldn't transmit on-air without audio processing, doing the same for webcasting is just as indispensable," he continued. The Omnia.net has already been operating continuously in webcasts by Superadio (http://www.superadio.com) and WFBQ (http://www.wfbq.com).

Cutting Edge's sister company, Telos Systems, offers the Audioactive Internet Audio Suite, a professional hardware and software system that provides both realtime and stored audio streams over the Internet. The powerful encoding tools utilize world standard MPEG Layer 3 audio coding for the highest-possible audio fidelity. Both a Realtime Internet Audio Encoder and Audioactive MP3 Software Encoder are available. These products are compatible with the Microsoft Windows Media Player and offer the ultimate in Internet audio distribution. This unique mixture of products can be experienced on DAER Internet Radio (http://www.daer.com.)

Very nice article B. A., thanks for posting it. Very refreshing, imagine that a 15 year old with some direction in life. Where's the front page headlines and the day after day of special coverage of this kid's accomplishments... I know buried on the news rack in some niche mag.

cheers,]
