StereoToolBox
Louder. Cleaner. Affordabler.
Thanks for the correction, Karen.
Audio processing used to be fun. Remember those tuning sessions sitting in your car with the PD? Remember those tiny adjustments until you found the sweet spot? Your listeners could hear your craft and dedication. Your competitors could hear you playing their obituary.
Then processors, at least the good ones, decided they should be priced like cars. When you balked, the processor companies came up with a solution. Lower prices? Well, no; lower standards. They had to make the budget boxes do less to protect their expensive boxes from getting cannibalized. They figure if you’ve got a small budget, you’ll settle. And if your dreams are bigger, you’ll find the money for their good stuff.
We never liked that attitude. So we took a good long look at processing and wondered: what if we could build a flagship that could compete with the other guys’ $10k boxes, but somehow get it to land at the same price as their stripped down models? A pretty audacious idea, sure, but we knew how to get there.
You see, when Catfish and Corny were at Telos, they met Hans van Zutphen, the creator of StereoTool. The Omnia.9 and Omnia.11 contained licensed software written by Hans. We figured, let’s get Hans to help us build this. Hans loved the idea. And the processing dream team got busy.
When you put StereoToolBox into your airchain, here’s what’s going to happen. Your phones light up with listeners loving your amazing new sound. Your advertisers call to say you’re suddenly louder than everyone else. And your competition calls to accuse you of overmodulating.
Ridiculously Well Equipped
Overengineered
Well, it is Angry Audio hardware.
Perfect Declipper
Reverses that awful mastering smash.
Rulebreaker Clipper
The battle between loud vs clean is over. You win.
FM and HD outputs
Both at the same time. Really.
Advanced Dynamics
Adaptive and effortless multiband compression.
RDS included
Bet you're starting to see the pattern.
StereoToolBox only costs $4k, but it hangs with the most expensive processors. Check out what you get:
FM + HD1 + Streaming. Their $4k box does FM. Or HD. Or your stream. Pick one. Want all three at once? That’s their $10k box. And then they’ll sell you a license to turn it on. StereoToolBox does all three at the same time, right out of the box. Hey look – you just saved thousands.
Sound Like An Outlaw. You want to dominate your dial. The RuleBreaker Clipper gives you extreme loudness (up to 140% audio level at 100% FM modulation) without the usual distortion tradeoffs. Clean, consistent dial presence with punch and so much power, your call letters might just show up on a wanted poster.
Advanced Dynamics. No two program elements sound the same. Our integrated level control and compression section automatically adapts to the content, so you don’t need eleventy-billion AGC and multiband stages. It’s more consistent. Sounds more open. And it’s easy to drive. Fun, too.
Perfect Declipper. They call it ‘brickwall mastering’ for a reason – the music sounds like it just drove into one. The Perfect Declipper puts back what the mastering engineers chopped off. Hans created this and it’s the same one you’ll find only in processors thrice the price. Hear it in action.
Fix That $#!%. With a suite of repair tools, StereoToolBox fixes problem audio before it becomes your problem. Like Delossifier restoration for compressed audio sources. Dehummer and noise gate to clean up older recordings. Phase repair for those oldies that make your ears twitch. Plus lots more.
RDS Yes. Put your billboard on the listeners’ dashboards! StereoToolBox comes with a complete RDS/RDS2 metadata encoding toolkit, with UECP and ASCII remote control. Makes your station look just as good as it sounds.
Easy Setup. Comes with a ton of presets handcrafted by some of the best in the biz. Pick one and go. Or, tune to your heart’s content. Connect with your browser and tweak it from anywhere. Couch. Car. Cleveland?
MicroMPX / MicroMPX+. Did you know Hans also invented MicroMPX? Some make you pay extra for it; standard in StereoToolBox. Streams the full composite signal, with pilot & RDS, to transmitter sites over IP. Because line-of-sight is so last century.
Spend a fortune, or settle. Those used to be your choices. Now you’ve got a third option: StereoToolBox. Sound like you spent $10,000. Don’t.
What’s that ringing in your ears? Oh, probably your competition calling. Looking for work.
