In this episode of Behind the Sound, we get to speak with Tony Bono. Tony has had a hand in just about every aspect of radio over the past 52 years from producer, to DJ, to program director, general manager, owner, and beyond. In 2018, Tony decided to upgrade his audio processing to none other than Omnia VOLT. In this interview, Tony shares everything he loves about our Omnia VOLT, as well as explains the difference it made for his station’s sound with version 2.0.

In our recent Behind The Sound interview, we got a chance to speak with Tom Van Gorkom. Tom has been in his role as broadcast engineer for Radio Esperanza (Hope Radio) for the last 8 years. He was recently tasked with upgrading all the equipment. After reviewing options and talking to users, he chose Axia for their mixing consoles. He continued to remodel their studios, one at a time. Eventually, for their webplayer and phone app, they went with Z/IPStream R/1 so they could feed it with Livewire and have control over the audio routing to it.

More recently, their audio processors were randomly locking up at the transmitter sites, so they decided to try out Omnia VOLT. Tom was impressed with the interface, flexibility, and clarity. Tom then implemented Omnia MPX Nodes to clear up STL distortion and overshoots, which allowed them to install the VOLT at the studio. Sure enough, it worked well, allowing them to send the processed audio to two FM stations from one VOLT fed by Livewire. Hear all about Tom's projects and decision-making in this interview.

Telos Alliance’s Axia iQs has been awarded the 2021 SBE Technology Award, as well as PRODU's 2021 Technology Award. Axia iQs is the first soft console controlled by a full HTML-5 interface, allowing you to mix from anywhere, on any device.

Telos Alliance’s Minnetonka AudioTools Server recently adopted Fraunhofer IIS’s MPEG-H Audio authoring workflow. The toolset is suitable for a wide variety of audio processing fields and brings countless benefits to terrestrial, IPTV, and satellite broadcast as well as pre- and post-production.

REMI has changed dramatically since pre-pandemic days. Martin Dyster takes a look at what has changed and how the evolution inspired a new Virtual Intercom Platform.

The ATSC 3.0 rollout is here, and with this new standard comes much to be learned and explored. Marty Sacks, EVP of sales, support and marketing at Telos Alliance, recently got the privilege of sitting down with president of the Advanced Television Systems Committee, Madeleine Noland, to speak about the new standard, as well as all of the opportunities, content capabilities, and challenges  that come along with it.

In our latest Behind The Sound interview, we got a chance to speak with Ludwig Kugler. Ludwig is part of a jazz band in Munich, Germany. After the start of the pandemic, his band was unable to practice together in person. Through some creative thinking, Ludwig was able to find a way to conduct band practice virtually, as well as stream his band's performances online with the help of some Telos Alliance offerings!

While the band took advantage of Jamulus software to play together from different locations, they needed another solution to help stream to their audience. Through Telos Alliance Z/IPStream 9X/2 stream encoder and processor, the band was able to stream directly to their audience over the internet. The 9X/2 handled all of the audio processing and the transfer to their Icecast server, where it is published. They were able to control all of this using the Axia Pathfinder Core PRO. Pathfinder was able to monitor everything coming in and out of the 9X/2, and it also helped them connect with their website to keep track of their audience!

As part of 2021's Pro Audio and Radio Tech Summit, Telos Alliance CTO Greg Shay got a chance to present alongside other industry experts for a session on 'Building the Virtual Airchain.'

Radio is adopting new technologies and practices from the IT industry for its own success. What exactly does a 'virtual airchain' mean for radio? Which functions are already available in software? How has virtualization changed disaster recovery and backup functions? What are the implications of the SaaS model on radio business operations? What are the NAB Radio Technology Committee and manufacturers working on next? And how has the pandemic experience changed or accelerated these trends? This session dives into all these questions and more.

As part of Sports Video Group's SportsTech On Demand interview series, Martin Dyster, VP Business Development at Telos Alliance, got a chance to give deep into our Telos Infinity Virtual Intercom Platform (VIP).

Telos Infinity VIP is the first fully-featured Cloud-based intercom system. It delivers sophisticated comms virtually, making Cloud-based media production workflows available on any device—smartphone, laptop, desktop, or tablet.
