Telos' Kirk Harnack helps open the information stream

The broadcast community has been abuzz the past few weeks with the news of a major Telco's decision to stop installing ISDN lines. And no wonder: ISDN has been the broadcaster's medium of choice for long-distance, CD-quality remote broadcasts since the original Zephyr made the scene in 1994.

Phoenix Station Declares 25-Seven PDM "Just Works"

And really, isn't that the way things ought to be?

Bonneville's KTAR was not happy with the performance with their profanity delay. Due to the stations unique needs, such as to precisely sync to their TV station's audio during simulcast baseball games, Gary Smith, director of engineering, was justifiably skeptical that Program Delay Manager would be up to the task.

Vintage Technology: Carroll Shelby liked Las Vegas - a LOT 

He liked it so much, in fact, that he built his headquarters there, not far from the Las Vegas Speedway, and only about 15 minutes from The Strip (make that <5 minutes if you're driving a GT500KR).

Five Things You Should Know about IP Audio

Recently, a friend asked me to give him five advantages that IP-Audio (or AoIP, if you prefer) has over other, older technologies. Just five?!

Axia shows up in photos from all over

We've been seeing Axia in photos everywhere lately - from smartphone games (see "Axia Enters Pop Culture") to celebrity photo tweets. Recently, we received the photo above from Bob Page, Radio Broadcast Specialist at Universal Studios Orlando. You'll likely recognize actor and TV host Mario Lopez, and his lovely wife Courtney M. Lopez (Miss USA 2010), who tweeted the pic posing in front of that gorgeous console in the radio studios at Universal Studios, where they were shooting episodes of Extra!.

"Why does my audio need four speakers when I only have two ears?"

All of us at the Telos Alliance share with our customers a fatal attraction to radio, as well as a passion for making great audio. But many of us have other hobbies and interests that might surprise you. From time to time, we'll profile members of the Telos Alliance and what they do when they're not inventing the next generation of broadcast audio gear.

Axia Goes to School

Students at KVIT-FM get new networked studios

When Steve Grosz visited the NAB show last April, he was shopping for an IP audio console to replace the aging analog board at his station. Little did he know that he would end up buying three consoles and a boatload of other radio gear, most of it from the Telos Alliance. Grosz is the general manager of KVIT, an educational FM station run by the East Valley Institute of Technology (EVIT) in Mesa, Arizona.
