KQ processing FINALLY fixed

[fmradioguy]

Looks like they finally listened and have backed down significantly on the audio processing on KQRS.

Noticed as well the noise floor no longer sounds audible, the stereo balance is seemingly more accurate, and things in general just sound so much cleaner. I heard rumors they were going to an all-digital airchain and phasing out the old analog equipment they had, so I’m wondering if they just made that switch?

I noticed this too.
I wonder where are the old posts for the Twin Cities?

I hate this new layout so much. Used to be easier to navigate.

From what I'm seeing it's

• Home --> Forums --> Radio in the United States --> Central States/Markets --> Minnesota & Dakotas

AMEN. Sounds SO much better now.

One rumor I heard, all the analog in the audio chain was replace with new digital equipment.
Not sure if consoles were included in the replacement.

If the board was analog, it obviously would have been replaced.

You’d be surprised by how many stations still have analog air chains in 2024….
