Falcon X5 is the entry level unit among AxelTech’s Audio Processors new generation: the traditional quality, reliability and cost effectiveness, recalled by the name Falcon so well known in the broadcast world.

Falcon X5 makes your Radio sound great enabling you to set up your perfect sound identity by choosing the pre set that suits better with the style of your radio or by tailor making your own set.

Falcon X5 embeds the New Falcon Platform: a brand new firmware with cutting-edge technology that combines ease of use and high level quality sound.

Βασικά Χαρακτηριστικά
Specifications:

All-in-one 5 Bands Audio Processor with MPX Generator, RDS Encoder (optional), MPX power Control and Change Over/Silence Detector (optional).
Parallel Dual Processing allows Falcon to feed at the same time FM (15 kHz) and digital broadcasting (20 kHz) such as DAB, HD Radio, Sirius XM and Web Radio.
Fully customizable top class Audio processing tools with 5 bands compression control, adjustable Drive and Threshold, Dual AGC, 3 Bands Equalization (Low, Mid and High frequency), Stereo Enhancer, Voice Detector and Brightness Control.
Mono Sound Phase Control gives a more natural and pleasant sound to the human voices. The final limiter enhances the sound presence.
More than 240 Factory Presets + 20 User Presets to tailor at best your channel.
MPX Encoder and Optional Dynamic RDS encoder both integrated in the DSP structure to provide the ideal MPX signal: easy to integrate with the customer infrastructure thanks to the MPX digital AES-192 and two independent analogue MPX outputs.
Power MPX control: ITU BS.412 MPX Power Recommendations available for MPX processing.
Fully configurable Audio Changeover/Silence Detector (optional) to switch over four out of the Analog, Digital, MPX, IP, AoIP and Dante™ (optional).
The hardware bypass circuit guarantees audio presence and programs continuity.
Full range of outputs: one analog, two digital audio (over XLR connectors), two Optional Dante™ and two independent MPX.
Falcon can integrate with existing infrastructure via Ethernet port, two RS-232 serial ports, two USB ports and six GPI ports with optical coupler and four relays.
A LAN port and a built-in Web Server to control & configure the processor from any device and tune audio from anywhere.
Falcon Logs every second on the external microSD card the value/status of 8 out of 88 internal parameters for 1 year (at the end of the period oldest data will be overwritten). The user can choose the 8 parameters to be logged and can select a time lapse among the logging to export the data on a CSV file for any analysis.
Falcon processors are equipped with a universal 90-260 V AC power supply, working at 50 or 60 Hz, ready to be used in every country around the world. Thanks to the low power consumption (max 15 W) Falcon is also a green equipment.
Falcon 1 Rack Unit robust design is sustained by the extensive use of steel and aluminum. Falcon appliances are immune to strong electro-magnetic fields and are suitable to be installed in extreme climate environments.
A dedicated digital test signal generator can send to all the physical outputs (analogue, digital and MPX) signal sample with variable frequency and amplitude to help calibrate the whole audio chain.
The Falcon X Series
Different users have different needs: that’s the reason why AxelTech features a whole line up of processors with different models suitable for different workflows. Falcon X7 is the full option unit, Falcon X6 embeds the same features only except the controls on the front panel, perfect to be remotely installed and managed through the WEB interface. Falcon X5 is entry level unit with the same processing power of the Falcon X7 and a simplified I/O and changeover sections.
