Air Aura By Vorsis

Anybody have any direct, hands on experience with this processor? I am curious...

1. Is the 31 band stuff nothing but hype or can you really tell a difference far and beyond anything else you've used?

2. Perhaps in a laboratory setting someone can prove better audio but our listeners are not in the lab but in the real world. Does it make a difference to them?

All your comments welcomed.
 
We've just completed a video that discusses the 31 band limiter:

But as the other poster said, the best way to decide is to demo the box in your facility on radios that your listeners would hear it on to see if it meets the expectations you are looking for.

If you'd like more information about our processor, drop me an email:

This is the kind of processor power that can get you into a lot of trouble. It takes very smalls steps in adjustment and a thorough knowledge of what comes downstream to make this useful. I'm not saying it's bad, but I might say it's excessive for the majority of knob twisters.

We've introduced a simple GUI called "GUI Lite" which takes the 400+ adjustments in the pro GUI and brings them down to about a dozen sound/input/output controls.

The idea is to get a preset that is close to where you like the sound and make adjustments using the Lite GUI. The Pro GUI, which is the back door (and then some) should be used to only fine tune certain areas of the processing that can't be reached thru the Lite version..

GUI Lite has been restricted so that, no matter how aggressive you set it, the processor can't get you into trouble. For most of our customers it has worked well. More experienced users like the controls in the pro GUI.

With all the controls in all of the major brands, it's quite easy to drive one of these boxes off the road. The key is a good stable of presets and intuitive controls, which is what all processing manufacturers strive for.
 
I agree with you Radeo but so can one steering wheel on a car get you into trouble. I hink the key is to set it up for each particular situation and enable the switching and then forget it unless I am tremendously missing something here. But how does it sound when properly adjusted and can the average listener with average equipment telll the difference?
 
I can provide a list if you contact me at [email protected]

I can say we have at least one box in each of the Top 10 markets and most of the Top 20. In NYC, Miami and LA, we have multiple boxes.

We had Stephen Poole of Crawford Broadcasting evaluate the processor for Radio World.

It should be noted that after the demo, Stephen purchased the AirAura.
