SOUND4 PULSE Fields of Application
The SOUND4 PULSE is a three-band processor and the smallest device in the FM product line. It is particularly well-suited to the following uses:
For small radios, as a principal processor. It is fully compliant with radio broadcast standards while at the same time having a strong, clear and balanced sound.
For transmitter finalization, with a SOUND4 PULSE located in the studio. All radio standards are met.
For radios seeking natural but powerful tonalities.
As a web radio processor, thanks to its algorithms, specially optimized for this kind of application. Furthermore, its low cost makes it affordable for any radio station wishing to set itself apart from other stations.
As a small standby processor.

100% autonomous in terms of resources - the card only requires power from the PC.
4 inputs - AES from 32 to 192 kHz, analog, IP (Livewire or SOUND4 IP CONNECT) and PCI (audio driver).
Mixing of inputs and automatic safety function.
5 simultaneous and independent outputs - TX1, TX2, AES, Analog IP (Livewire or SOUND4 IP CONNECT) and PCI (audio driver).
Routing of signals for outputs.
Relay switch for automatic by-pass.
Digital AES/EBU synchronization input.
DSP computing power - 4 Giga Flops (Sharc 40 bits with floating point).
GUI and driver compatible 32 & 64 bits - Windows 7, Windows 8 & 8.1, Windows 10, Windows 11, 2008 R2, 2012 and Linux (Debian)
Multicard driver (the quantity of PCIe slots will be equal to the number of cards admissible in the same PC).
Start-up time of the SOUND4 PULSE card - 2 seconds max to being on air.
100% upgradeable to IMPACT. While updating the card, the sound is interrupted for only two seconds.
User-Friendly Control Interface
Sound setting from one single screen – you no longer need to open and close windows to go from one function to another.
Two modes - Basic and Advanced. Basic - provides simplicity and rapidity; Advanced - allows you to explore all of the processor functionalities. There are also ultra-rapid VU meters for true control over modulation.
Unlimited “Undo/Redo” versioning function for presets with possibility of recall.
Innovative “compare” function with reference notion.
Log function for presets.
A readable and interactive diagram.
A remote connection manager to control several processors.
Works with the following operating systems - WXP SP3, W7 32&64 bits, W8 32&64 bits, WS 2008 R2, WS 2012, Linux (Debian).
Processing
Main sampling process frequency of 192 kHz.
Sound coloring and stereo enhancement effect (Tone FX and Stereo FX).
2-band AGC.
2-band process with Fidelity and Sound Impact System (S.I.S.).
3-band limiter.
Look Ahead limiter for the HD outlet.
MPX power controller (BS412 compliant).
Stereo Matrixing for more stability in loudness and sound tone when the receiver switches from mono/stereo/mono.
19 kHz embedded pilot to gain close to 1 dB more in loudness.
Delay - 30 ms for FM path, 11 ms for HD path.
