"As an air talent, there is no worse feeling than rolling into a remote with a cell phone to broadcast with. It's 2010, and there is no excuse for having cell phone quality audio on the air when a product like Audio CompassTM exists. We all know what station budgets are like these days, and who can afford thousands of dollars worth of field and studio equipment? The good news with Audio CompassTM is that you no longer have to settle for inferior audio, and you don't have to fire one of your 3 remaining employees to make it happen. No more bulky antennas, rusty tripods, or cracked coaxial cable... Just a laptop and a mic, and we're live with excellent quality audio from anywhere in our listening area. Make your remotes sizzle, and start living up to the expectations of your clients and listeners. Use Audio CompassTM."

"When you're on a radio remote, connectivity to your studio or network head end can always generate sweaty palms. Every year we take Cruise Control Radio on the road during the month of August and head to Carlisle Pennsylvania for the Corvettes at Carlisle show.
In the past we used POTS codecs with mixed results. You always had to worry about the availability of a decent phone line and how the junction boxes were wired. We would typically use a fax phone line to connect our POTs Codec to our studio, however, we came to discover the line daisy chained around the show grounds and if someone tried to fax something, we would be knocked of the air.
The pressure was on for the 2009 Cruise Control Radio show. We had a full two-hour live remote packed with interviews with everyone from Corvette engineers to the legendary Mario Andretti.
What's that saying 'Failure was not an option?' We swapped the POTs Codec for my laptop running the Audio CompassTM software. Our remote studio included four professional mics running into a small mixer that feed a USB audio interface connected to my laptop running Audio CompassTM.
The Audio CompassTM set up worked flawlessly, allowing us to easily connect to our network studio and head end. No on air signal drops or pops were noticed at anytime and the sound quality was excellent using the G.722 codec.
Audio CompassTM has allowed Cruise Control Radio to travel and broadcast from any location we choose. All you need is a decent internet connection, and that's a lot easier to come by these days than a POTs line.
Just for fun, I often test the connection to our studio using Audio CompassTM from hotel rooms and hotspots and there is never a problem, 'Hooking into' the studio.
Thanks to Audio CompassTM my palms are a lot less sweaty!"

"I'm asked all the time if it's true - can the internet really offer a stable, studio quality broadcast connection? It absolutely can.
For the last year that I did a syndicated weekend talk show, I did it using Audio CompassTM. The audio quality was better than ISDN, delay was fine for doing two way conversation with callers, and the connection was stable. I found all this quite surprising, but I didn't complain.
Plus, life is fine without having to pay for minutes or a monthly ISDN line fee. I particularly like the portability Audio CompassTM offers - doing remotes is easy, and it saved me the cost of a studio rental when I went to Florida for my winter getaway."

"Three years of using a Codec to link up with the production studio for a two hour talk radio show that's broadcast across the country was enough. However, when you add in the drops and digital stutters, it was maddening. When a production engineer from Langer Broadcasting called me up and said 'We’re gonna go a different route', I was skeptical. However, I downloaded the trial version of Audio CompassTM and not only tested it with the production office, we did two shows with no incident! I made the purchase of this software and was thoroughly impressed with the attention given by Audio CompassTM Technical support in setting this computer illiterate mouthpiece. Thanks Audio CompassTM!!! The sound quality and dependability will have me using this product for years!"

On June 16th, 2008, USTalkNetwork.com launched a 24/7 Talk Network. It would not have been possible without Audio CompassTM. We have hosts all over the US that connect to our master control in Fort Lauderdale, FL. We could not afford other ways of connecting to our remote studios. No need for ISDN or T1 lines. If you have high speed Internet, all you need is Audio CompassTM, a laptop, microphone and headphones and you are live from anywhere with great sound that you can depend on. My engineer friends said it would not work (LOL)… they were wrong.
