Platform -> EDGE™ Audio Processor

Broadcast audio processing, built right in.

Your station will sound incredible with our EDGE™ audio processor...
It's built to transform your stream with just one click.

Included in our Premium plan. Available as an add-on for other plans in June 2026.

Most stations don't stand out. Yours should.

The music's great. The scheduling's tight. The branding looks professional. But when someone tunes in... it sounds flat. Thin. Quiet on some tracks, harsh on others.  
It just sounds like a playlist on shuffle, not a radio station.

Meanwhile, flip to any flagship commercial station and the difference hits you instantly. Everything sounds louder. Punchier. More alive. Every song sits at the same level. Every voice cuts through. It sounds like radio is supposed to sound! That's not an accident. That's audio processing.

The secret behind that BIG radio sound?

For decades, professional broadcasters tuned their sound using rack-mounted boxes. These boxes, provided by companies like Orban and Omnia, cost $10,000 or more!

This was the status quo for enhancing a station’s sound. But it was inaccessible to those without the hardware, specialized knowledge and big budgets. EDGE™ is here to beat them. It uses our own "2026" processing technology for your audio stream and runs efficiently from the cloud. So you get that big "million dollar" sound but at a fraction of the price.

EDGE™ Audio Processor, under the hood...

Enable EDGE™ on your stream and your station instantly sounds better.

EDGE™ includes:
Automatic Gain Control (AGC) to give you a consistent and smooth output.
Multiband-compression to target particular frequencies & add punch.
EQ to shape the tone and emphasise genre defining features.
Limiting to catch volume peaks and avoiding volume-based distortion.

All of this audio magic runs in near real-time on your live or scheduled stream.
You don’t need to buy hardware. You don’t need to configure plugins. And you don’t need audio engineering expertise!

This means you can deliver that big radio sound, without the big price tag.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I enable EDGE on my station?
A red plus symbol.

EDGE is currently available to all customers on the Premium plan (and soon as an addon for other plans). It can be enabled under 'Settings > Broadcast > Edge Audio Processing'. Once enabled, you can switch between presets easily to find the one right for your station.

Will my listeners notice a delay when I enable EDGE?
A red plus symbol.

No. EDGE has an ultra-low latency of only 7.8ms. This is well below the industry standard for "noticeable" lag, ensuring your stream remains live while sounding significantly more polished.

Will it work with my music format?
A red plus symbol.

Yes. 16 presets cover everything from CHR, AC, Rock to Classical, Jazz, Talk to lo-fi. If you're broadcasting audio, there's a preset for it. Check out the preset guide for more details.

Do I need to be an audio engineer to use the presets?
A red plus symbol.

The presets are pre-configured by professionals. Pick one that matches your format and you're done. No knob-twiddling required. You can find your signature sound in a single click, though you’ll still have the flexibility to swap presets to find the one that works best for you.

Why does my station restart when I change EDGE settings?
A red plus symbol.

To ensure your new audio profile is applied across your entire infrastructure correctly, a brief restart is required whenever EDGE is toggled or a new preset is selected. We recommend making these adjustments during off-peak hours to minimimise listener disruption.

Is EDGE included in all plans?
A red plus symbol.

EDGE is an exclusive feature for Premium broadcasters. If you're currently on a Lite, Standard or Plus plan, you can upgrade to Premium within your billing dashboard to instantly unlock this feature. It will also be available soon, as a paid addon for other plans.
