Suono Telecom ASP4 audio processor with RDS Encoder combines FM audio processing, stereo generation and integrated RDS coding in a single compact unit, giving broadcasters clean, consistent on-air sound with full RDS services.
€1,225.00
The Suono Telecom ASP4 Audio Processor with RDS Encoder is designed as an all-in-one FM processing platform that handles program audio shaping, stereo generation and RDS coding in a single rackmount chassis. Its processing chain has been tuned to provide a clean on-air sound while respecting FM modulation specifications, so stations can achieve competitive loudness without listener fatigue or regulatory issues. With simple front-panel controls and intuitive setup, the Suono Telecom ASP4 Audio Processor with RDS Encoder suits broadcasters who want reliable, repeatable results without complex configuration.
The ASP4 processing architecture typically includes wideband AGC, multiband compression and limiting stages that stabilise input level and maintain consistent program loudness across music and speech content. Final limiting and deviation control are designed to keep the FM multiplex within permitted modulation limits, protecting against over-deviation and adjacent-channel interference while maintaining strong coverage in noisy reception areas. Integrated stereo generation and tight control of pilot and subcarrier levels further help maintain clean RF performance when feeding the FM exciter or STL link.
Suono Telecom ASP4 Audio Processor with RDS Encoder accepts balanced analog program inputs and provides processed MPX or stereo outputs ready to drive an FM exciter, with sound character ranging from clean and open to more aggressive, depending on preset and user adjustments. The built-in RDS section allows configuration of key parameters such as PI, PS, PTY, TP/TA and radiotext, so stations can brand their service and deliver useful program and traffic information without a separate external encoder. Typical applications include small and medium FM stations needing a cost-effective all-in-one processor and RDS solution, backup processing chains at transmitter sites and rapid deployment packages where a single device must handle both audio processing and RDS coding.
Broadcasters considering different processing philosophies or deeper control can also evaluate multi-band audio processors from other vendors that offer optional integrated or external RDS encoders, such as four-band FM processors with built-in RDS options.
For projects that require separate specialist units, a dedicated FM audio processor combined with stand-alone RDS encoders like Audessence PRO-4 can provide more granular control at the cost of additional rack space and complexity.
Engineers planning a broader upgrade of audio processing can explore the wider Audio Processors range and related accessories to compare with the Suono telecom ASP4 with complementary RDS solutions across multiple transmitter sites.
