A tamper-proof solution designed to solve audio level problems - completely! Digital, cost-effective and flexible, ALPS-1 provides control of perceived audio loudness (volume), dynamic range and peak level (modulation). This broadcast audio processor is suitable for all situations where some combination of these three must be powerfully yet unobtrusively controlled. A truly versatile audio leveller / leveler, ideal for radio studios, codec protection, STL protection, satellite feeds, transmitter protection, web streaming and remote broadcast site operations.
