Aqua Broadcast Zen Level – Zen 10 Stereo AGC
Zen 10 Audio Level Controller – Elevate Your Sound with Precision
Achieve consistent, high-quality audio with the Zen Level Zen 10 by David Reaves Audio—a cutting-edge Automatic Gain Control (AGC) solution designed for professional broadcasting, streaming, podcasting, and audio production. Developed by industry expert David Reaves, inventor of the renowned Ariane audio leveler, the Zen 10 redefines AGC by applying adjustments only when necessary, preserving the integrity of your sound.
Why Choose the Zen 10 Stereo AGC?
So whether you’re managing radio broadcast pre-processing, TV loudness control, network contributions, or studio production, audio consistency is crucial. The Zen 10 ensures your content maintains a balanced, professional sound across all platforms, from FM and AM radio to digital streaming and podcasting.
Innovative “Zen” Technology
in contrast with traditional AGCs, the Zen 10 takes a smart, unobtrusive approach—adjusting levels only when needed. If the audio level is correct, no changes are made, keeping your sound natural and dynamic while ensuring smooth transitions for the next processing stage.
Advanced Features for Superior Audio Control
- Customizable AGC Parameters: Fine-tune ratio control, release timing, peak protection, and return-to-zero functions.
- ITU-R BS.1770 Compliance: Integrates with industry-standard loudness measurement for precise level control.
- Perfect De-Clipper Technology: Developed by DSP expert Hans Van Zutphen, restoring missing peaks for richer, cleaner audio.
- Flexible Connectivity: Supports analog, AES3 digital, and Dante AES-67 digital audio I/O for seamless integration.
- Intuitive Monitoring & Control: Manage settings via a front-panel interface, web control system, or dual LCD displays.
- Multi-Band Customization: Features ten control systems and up to five adjustable frequency bands for targeted processing.
- Presets & Custom Profiles: Choose from pre-configured settings or create tailored audio profiles to match your workflow.
Designed by David Reaves, de inventor of the Ariane Audio Leveler
The Zen 10 builds upon the legacy of other famous audio levelers and got the most inspiration of the CBS Audimax a pioneering product in transparent audio control from the 60’s. Infact ,David Reaves, has integrated its core principles into the Zen 10, offering enhanced features and improved performance for today’s audio professionals.
