- New

After almost a year dealing with contributions from the homes of radio broadcasters and collaborators, with the technical complexity that this entails, AEQ now launches a tool that will simplify this task by making the sound of the interventions almost indistinguishable from that generated in the studio.
AEQ's new proposal transmits high-quality audio, with OPUS encoding, from a microphone to the studio console, and returns to the headphones.
The equipment has other complementary features of the maximum utility such as the possibility of adding a stereophonic signal to the microphone from an external connector and a high-quality Bluetooth connection, which allows broadcasting and commenting on concerts, sports or other events, or playing lists audio from a phone or PC and present them.
AEQ TalentIf the Bluetooth connection is made with a telephone, telephone interviews can be carried out, either with a conventional call, or if we want more quality, through applications such as Skype, WhatsApp, Zoom and others. Calls can be incorporated into the program that is sent to the station.
To send the audio to the station, you can use a home internet connection, for
ADSL or fiber, or a wireless 3G / 4G / 5G data connection through a simple router / modem with SIM card.
And in situations where there is no IP connection, through the same Bluetooth channel and the smartphone, it is possible to reach the studio PC in high definition voice quality (HD voice) to introduce the audio into the program.
Talent has a desktop format and is light and small, about 600 grams and a front of about 20 x 13 cm. less than half a sheet of A4 paper.
It has a simple front control panel with microphone and headphone level regulation, call / off-hook button, hang-up button, outgoing and incoming signal level indicators and other basic indicators of the status of the equipment and communication.
And also the "Help" button will attract the attention of the station operator. Because the equipment does not need to be operated by the announcer, since all the controls on the front panel are available in two applications: one local for smartphone, Talent Pilot, which in addition to controlling the equipment, also allows configuring it and establishing the connection, if required. person who is at the controls has knowledge for it; and another remote one, Control Phoenix, which allows to configure and operate remotely, a fleet of Talent audio codecs and other AEQ stationary and portable ones, so that the user only speaks and does not need to touch any button.
Also note that Talent can be delivered to the user pre-configured and ready for use, or it can be configured and controlled locally or remotely.
Headphones and microphones can be freely chosen. In the case of headphones, low or high impedance and dynamic and condenser microphones can be used, since it has a phantom power supply.
The equipment can be powered directly from the USB output of a PC, or from a voltage source between 5 and 12 volts, for example, the battery socket of a vehicle, or a powerbank. In addition, it is supplied with a power supply for the conventional alternating network.
The user can voluntarily listen to the audio coming from the station, their own audio without delay, or a mix of both, and can output these returns in an independent and simultaneous mix through a line-out and a stereo Bluetooth connection.
Finally, if there are two or three people working in the same location, each one can have their Talent, connecting them in a cascade and thus contributing their voice-overs and telephone interviews through the same connection to the station.
