ATC Labs, a global audio technology company specializing in audio processing and encoding technologies, announced several enhancements to its Perceptual SoundMaxTM line of audio processing products and ALCO Professional line of IP Soft Codec Products at the 2024 NAB Show New York, and the 2024 AES Show New York.
ATC Labs Perceptual SoundMaxTM audio processing platform has been enhanced using its new research in high time-resolution Audio AI and ML Models, which excel in providing real-time decisions regarding various audio characteristics. Enhanced audio processing platform using this patent pending technology is being offered under a new “AIdeal AudioTM” trademark and has been integrated across the entire range of Perceptual SoundMaxTM products including Models Q24-Ser, server-based high-channel-density product, Model Q24-6111, FM Audio Processor. Model Q24-8888 8-channel audio processor, and Q24-1111 single channel audio processor
The Company further announced that it has developed and integrated another new audio processing technology named SpatialMax Immersive Audio into the Perceptual SoundMaxTM platform. This new technology uses adaptive multi-band sound field synthesis driven my AI/ML analysis algorithm to create a much enhanced spatially filling and immersive listening experience. SpatialMax Immersive Audio is being offered in select Perceptual SoundMaxTM based products
ATC Labs further announced that it is offering a new configuration of its Model Q24-6111 FM audio processors specifically tailored for HD RadioTM market.
