The original, Award-Winning
Ariane Stereo Audio Leveler

Designed to offer the competitive broadcaster a new tool in the arsenal of audio processing, the Ariane Stereo Audio Leveler is a powerful multiband RMS processor operating in the sum and difference mode.
There is no other processor like it in the world!

 

The incoming audio is passed through a sum and difference matrix to produce two new signals: the combination of the left and right (L+R) and the difference between the left and right (L-R). These two signals are independently multiband processed to simultaneously control loudness and stereo content.

When the Ariane is placed in front of existing processors,
the combination produces very powerful advantages to FM broadcasters.

bullet Matrix sum & difference control circuits maximize the FM transmission medium with
sum-referenced control on the difference signal. This yields a more consistent stereo stage than independent control for better loudness density than typical ganged left and right control.

bulletAdjustable multiband crossover points designed to place equal energy in all bands.

bulletUser determined 'Instantaneous Dynamic Range' (IDR) control allows more natural dynamics; the original feel of the audio is maintained. If the source audio has less dynamic range than the IDR setting there will be no modification of the original audio dynamics.

bulletRemoval of low frequency components from the difference (L-R) signal. This reduces intermodulation products that translate into better control of the FM stereo sub carrier for improved multipath performance.

bullet Exclusive resonant high-pass "Bass Humper" circuitry for incredible low frequency response.

bullet Decibel accurate parameter setting switches (not potentiometers) for repeatable consistent adjustments.

bulletRMS detection for control that mimics human hearing audio power sensitivities.

bulletGentle single pole (6db per octave) phase coherent subtractive filters for a smoother more natural sound.

bulletExtremely wide acceptance range utilizing feed-forward topology for over 30db of input range.
The Ariane can handle raw audio right out of the console without the need for single band pre-processing that other multiband designs require.

bullet Front panel multicolor metering displays the gain and control status of each band with 1db accurate resolution.


Now on the air on nearly two hundred FM and AM radio stations in America and Europe!

The Ariane is a
proud winner of
Radio World's 2001
Cool Stuff Award
