TESTIMONIALS


"Having the UPMAX:neo with us in Beijing this past summer was like adding a new friend to the crew. The sound was a nice improvement, and the support from Linear Acoustic was superb. We are still learning about new ways to use the UPMAX:neo, and I look forward to using it and working with Linear Acoustic again in Vancouver."

"The Linear Acoustic AERO.one is definitely one of the easiest to set up pieces of audio processing I have ever experienced. Plus, it sounds great with little or no effort. Having been in the business for 40+ years, I have seen my share of audio processing and this unit, by far, is my favorite. It "fixes" the levels network sends us in a very pleasant way and makes the viewers very happy."

"Modern digital broadcast audio such as 5.1 surround sound and its metadata have made QC monitoring extremely important to our operations. In our move to a digital environment, we needed an advanced solution that would appropriately adjust metering and playback audio levels throughout the entire broadcast chain. We chose the Linear Acoustic LAMBDA based on an expectation of excellent audio quality, and that is exactly what we see. We’ve had the units in place for several months, and they have provided exceptional performance across all three of our channels."

"Like many broadcasters, we experienced a lot of problems with varying audio levels for network and local programming, particularly during playout of news and sports. We needed a way to address this discrepancy in loudness levels and even out audio volume, and the Linear Acoustic AERO.air has proven to be a wonderful solution. We noticed a significant difference immediately upon implementing the processor, and we haven’t received any comments about disparities in audio loudness since that day."

"After switching our Comcast channel delivery from analog to digital, we discovered that our audio levels were out of control, and we had cracking and popping that we could not resolve causing viewer complaints every day. We called Linear Acoustic, and they offered to locate, and fix the problem for us "a no brainer", leave the equipment in for us to try "a no brainer", and for a very affordable price...WOW!...No more complaints from the viewers, or the boss, just perfect audio at all times, and in full time 5.1."

"Our AERO.air was installed and placed into service this past April. The unit integrated seamlessly with our existing equipment, and I’ve certainly been impressed with the overall quality of the 5.1 surround sound it provides. If that weren’t enough, viewer concerns over commercial loudness have been virtually eliminated, and we are now prepared if the CALM Act is passed into law."

"The LAMBDA is a top shelf piece of gear. It is definitely the future of broadcast facility audio monitoring."

"The AEROMAX 5.1 is IMPRESSIVE and although I am far past being able to be impressed, I am with this gadget. The fact we were able to easily insert our EAS as well was the icing on the cake. We put it online with an external Dolby 569 encoder and last night I watched at home with my wife and WOW, 5.1 a the output all the time, simulated when local stereo material is used and 5.1 passed from net when available, and leveling that makes local and network material appear seamless, I do not hear, or see my Onkyo receiver switching surround sound modes during the breaks either. It has provided WJCT a very uniform and constant off air sound and fixed "dial norm" settings no matter where the material is coming from. FABULOUS gadget."

"Our loudness control problems have virtually ceased, thanks to the AERO 5.1. The LAMBDA is a very powerful (and cool) box, I still need to teach myself how to use it to its fullest potential. I hope to be able to add the AC-3 option later this year which will really make it a huge addition to my troubleshooting arsenal. Thanks."

We own two AERO.air DTV units and are extremely pleased with their performance. Both units were easy to configure and have provided reliable processing and level control.

We also selected these units for the ease of 5.1 to stereo downmix. We have agreed to supply our cable providers a direct SD feed for several more years. This downmix ability provides us with a single platform solution for both our HD and SD feeds.

We monitor all feeds with our L.A.M.B.D.A. monitoring unit. It gives us a good handle on our 5.1 processing and the dial-norm of any feed that is on our wideband router.
