Wheatstone And Eventide Partner To Combine Profanity Delay With Popular WheatNet-IP Audio Network

NEW BERN, N.C., April 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Among the more notable partnerships this NAB is between Wheatstone and Eventide, two of the more respected names in the industry that combined the standard in profanity delay with the popular WheatNet-IP audio network in use by major radio operations.

Eliminating one more network box in the studio chain, Eventide's new BD600W delay unit now comes with WheatNet-IP networking built-in for easy and seamless integration of profanity delay into the WheatNet-IP audio and control network.

Wheatstone's WheatNet-IP audio network is an end-to-end broadcast studio system comprising audio consoles, routing, mixing, processing, silence detection, logic control and seamless integration with third-party vendors. It is the first AES67 compatible audio network for radio and television, and the only distributed network to include audio resources such as mixing and processing at IP nodes or access points in the network.

"The audio network is the lifeblood of today's broadcast studio, and now with the addition of this WheatNet-IP card into our profanity delay unit, we can add more capability to the network," said Eventide Chairman Richard Factor.

With 80 seconds of profanity protection, micro-precision delay, unmatched audio performance, and now, seamless network integration, the BD600W combines both extended remote control and audio over Wheatstone's WheatNet-IP broadcast network.

"We've known and respected the Eventide name for as long as we've been in the business. It is an honor to partner with them and to be able to include this industry standard in our WheatNet-IP network," said Wheatstone CEO Gary Snow.

In 1977, Eventide invented the profanity delay, replacing costly analog tape-based solutions with a seven-second rack mounted digital delay using a patented "catch-up" system. Today, Eventide broadcast delays are found in more stations than that of all of its competitors combined.

Eventide joins more than 55 WheatNet-IP technology vendors and brand partners, ranging from automation playout to transmission.

The combination will be shown at Wheatstone booth #C755 and Eventide booth #C2848 during the NAB.
