The Falcon D7 from AxelTech is an all-in-one digital broadcast audio processor with a 5-band architecture for TV & HD radio stations designed to offer loudness control, automatic gain control, an advanced audio changeover / silence detector, and a wide variety of processing options to customize the sound, including EQ, dual-band automatic gain control (AGC), stereo enhancement, speech detection, and limiting. Front-panel controls with a full-color TFT display are provided, and the unit also offers a built-in webserver for set up and operation via LAN. This version features stereo analog inputs, stereo analog outputs, two stereo digital inputs, and two stereo digital outputs.
Features
- All-in-one, 5-band audio processor with loudness control and changeover / silence detector.
- 15 Hz to 20 kHz processing allows Falcon D7 to feed TV or digital audio broadcasting networks such as DAB, HD Radio, Sirius XM, and web-based radio stations.
- Fully customizable top-class audio processing tools with 5-band compression control, adjustable drive and threshold, dual AGC, 3-band equalization (low, mid, and high frequencies), stereo enhancer, voice detector, and brightness control.
- Mono sound phase control gives a more natural and pleasant sound to human voices. The final limiter enhances the sound presence.
- More than 240 factory presets + 20 user presets allow you to tailor your channel for optimal results.
- Loudness control: EBU R 128 and ITU-R BS.1770-4 recommendations for digital and analog audio outputs.
- Fully configurable audio changeover / silence detector to switch over four out of the analog, digital, MPX, IP, AoIP, and built-in player inputs.
- The hardware bypass circuit guarantees audio presence and program continuity.
- Full range of outputs: one analog, two digital audio (over XLR connectors), and one IP stream.
- Falcon D7 can integrate with existing infrastructure via Ethernet port, two RS-232 serial ports, two USB ports, and six GPI ports with optical coupler and four relays.
- The LAN port and built-in webserver allows you to control and configure the processor from any device and tune audio from anywhere also using the IP streams I/O.
- Falcon D7 logs every second on the external microSD card the value/status of 8 out of 88 internal parameters for 1 year (at the end of the period oldest data will be overwritten); the user can choose the 8 parameters to be logged and can select a time lapse among the logging to export the data on a CSV file for any analysis.
- Falcon processors are equipped with a universal 90 to 260 VAC power supply, working at 50 or 60 Hz, ready to be used in every country around the world; thanks to the low power consumption (max 15W) Falcon is also a green piece of equipment.
- Robust, 1 RU design is constructed from steel and aluminum; Falcon appliances are immune to strong electromagnetic fields and are well suited for installation in extreme climate environments.
