Some programmers and engineers call the DSPXtra-AM the ultimate AM radio processor. They could be right. After all, no other AM processor, at any price, has both a BW Broadcast six-band limiter and an integrated Ariane RMS leveler. The DSPXtra-AM gives you a competitive edge-and builds listenership and revenue-by enabling you to achieve the tailored sound and loudness needed to make your station distinctive.

Though priced lower than most "high-end" AM processors, the DSPXtra-AM harnesses the power of 20 DSPs to keep your station's sound consistently loud and artifact free. In addition to multi-band limiting and the Ariane leveler, the processing core includes parametric bass enhancement, asymmetrical clipping, tilt EQ and AM low-pass filtering.

Dual processing paths make the DSPXtra-AM effectively two processors in one, feeding both your analog transmitter and a digital service, such as HD Radio, DAB, DRM or an Internet stream. The AM analog path has a multi-band distortion-controlled clipper, while the second path, tapped via analog and AES/EBU digital output connectors, incorporates a bit rate optimized, look-ahead limiter.

BW Broadcast's proven presets, as well as intuitive local and remote interfaces help you get your DSPXtra-AM on air fast. Whether you are a processing novice or expert, you'll easily achieve a signature sound for your station's format. And as you have come to expect from BW Broadcast, the compact DSPXtra-AM is designed for unsurpassed reliability and trouble-free operation in the world's most challenging installations.

Front panel LED audio metering and front panel USB interface aid setup and operation. As with all BW Broadcast AM processors, the DSPXtra-AM has a real-time clock for preset scheduling, preset A/B switching, graphic LCD display, plus serial and TCP/IP remote control interfaces, and both analog and AES/EBU digital inputs with configurable silence switching.

The BW Broadcast DSPX Series presents a carefully developed series of processors, with a version designed to exactly meet your needs and budget. For stations with less intensive processing requirements or tighter budgets, consider the BW Broadcast DSPX-AM and DSPXmini-AM.

Custom processing at off-the-shelf prices, the DSPX Series offers exceptional value in listener-building processing power.
