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.
