Simon Keens of Ampegon will immediately follow with a presentation on how DRM is energy efficient in both AM and FM offering broadcasting a clear path for cutting the transmissions costs. By using a simple, original DRM efficiency calculator tool, the theoretical part will be completed by a hands-on, fast-paced demonstration that will address documented and personalised cases.
