Northern Ireland DAB+ station Eirewave Takes RCS and Sound4

In Northern Ireland, radio station Eirewave is now using Zetta for automation from RCS and audio processing from Sound4. The station’s format is British and Irish pop-rock. It uses 14 DAB+ transmitters that provide service to areas such as Belfast, Newry and Derry. Eirewave also uses GSelector for music scheduling. The station said using the two RCS tools together will help advance its technology. Eirewave founder Olivier Eire said the station is using Sound4’s Impact audio processor for general processing and Sound4’s Big Voice for voice processing. As a DAB+ station, he said it seeks a “transparent and dynamic audio profile” rather than aggressive compression that might be found on FM.
