1 I am giving the Vorsis development team a BIG thumbs up as this product stands out as a very SUPERIOR audio processor design. This processor is amazing! I have the HD output feeding our web stream encoder, and two national program hosts at remote locations in the US have told us your audio stream sounds incredible! I can say that the Vorsis processor does NOT sound like the O ther guys! It sounds far better and has a very unique signature. I really, really like how this processor sounds! Every other station in the market sounds like crunched up FM radio while our station is loud now and yet it still has "life" with CD quality dynamics and punch. I ve listened to the station since the first few days after the format flip (which was a month ago yesterday), and the one thing I notice most is that the new Vorsis processor s audio quality is always terrific, regardless of the source material. If the Vorsis that I heard while you were testing processors last night is your final air chain (it was) it might just be the cleanest and best sounding FM I've heard since...well, forever. Great work! Thanks for a great sounding box that makes us sound bigger than the so called big stations! Your Sweet Spot Technology AGC has the most invisible gain correction that I have EVER heard in ANY on air processor. Listeners have been calling to compliment us on the improvement in our on air sound. We've used your product close to a year now and it's just out of this world. When we put the Vorsis box online our audience noticed the difference instantly and started calling asking questions like What's going on? What did you all do? Your sound is clear, crisp, and bright and the audio sound level is great now!!! The music sounds great, and this box can be tweaked to anyone's preference. There is a lot to discover in this machine...but our single biggest achievement has been achieving the clearest, cleanest voice I have ever heard come from an FM processor. Real Comments From Real Users About Vorsis Just wait until they get their hands on AirAura I am extremely impressed with the unit s capabilities and how well it performs with our NPR talk/classical format. What an amazing difference in sound quality!!! This is a brand new FM station and comparing it to the other new station in town using the Other brand of processor our client is louder, cleaner, and even legal. Wheatstone definitely has a winner here with Vorsis. This is a great sound and we are so, so pleased with our new Vorsis on-air processor. You just threw down the gauntlet to the processing industry with this new unit! Nobody can match a sound this loud, this clean, and this unique! Now everybody gets to chase after us for a while. Thanks Vorsis!! Our signal used to virtually disappear in downtown New York when we went on night pattern because of the extremely high level of man-made noise. Now when we re on night pattern our coverage in downtown is actually better than when we are on day pattern, the other brand of audio processor and a 10X higher powered transmitter! We re buying a second one to put on our daytime transmitter! You have to be kidding! I have NEVER heard FM audio sound this good, this detailed, this smooth, this clean, and this loud (how did you do it???). Very nice work! Love the box!!! Overall the sound of the station is vastly improved. It s loud, wide and clear. IT S TIME YOU WON THE RATINGS WAR I guess the only word for Vorsis is WOW. It s got some great bottom end, and it s more transparent than any processor I ve heard. The AGC/Compressor/SST combination is simply amazing. We play classical CDs. Older classical CDs were mastered at a much lower level than current ones. Announcers don t compensate and never will. Your processor is able deal with what amounts to probably 40-45dB (or more) *average* level variations and hold them perfectly in the sweet spot with virtually no squashing, pumping, sucking, or other usually audible artifacts of such wide range level control. In short it does its job perfectly every time. This box sounds much better than any other processor I have ever tried. Ever! I love classic rock and it s the program format on the station that I own. No other processor that I ve tried (and I think I ve tried them all!) sounds as good on this format. We re nice and loud and still cleaner than the other stations in the market. We were surprised to hear the intentional dynamics of songs actually get on the air other processors just flatten them out or turn them into a sea of mush. For the first time ever we re also hearing subtle nuances in songs that we used to think we knew every single note of. What an amazing air sound! No. What an amazing processor!! Your equalizers are actually useful and unlike other processors do not grungeup the sound merely by enabling them. The SST algorithm is the least audible of ANY processor I have ever had experience with. I m not sure how you did it or exactly how it works but its automatic leveling is excellent no pre-processing whatsoever is necessary with SST. The high end of this processor is very open sounding there is no fake sparkle with the HF EQ either. Perfectly clean and natural sound. And did I mention LOUD? Finally! A processor that deals effectively and transparently with overlysibilant announcers and audio levels that usually go all over the place! (I especially love the tweak-able multiband thresholds!)! Why haven t the other audio processor companies been able to make an AM box that sounds this good? I can t think of a positive superlative that is big enough to describe how pleased I am with our AM sound now. Our coverage seems to have increased by quite a bit too!! Our multipath is Gone! GONE! As an engineer I have difficulty believing a processor can make this much difference in apparent coverage area but the listening is the proof. We ve had several listeners call and comment that their reception has greatly improved and even I ve noticed vast improvements when driving through what were previously horribly multi-path prone areas. I m not sure why, but it sure does work!! This box has great metering and excellent analytical tools you get good visual indication of everything that is happening inside. The unit s stability has been flawless, not even a tiny glitch. We have it set up to time-sync and it works great. The scheduler-based (and SILENT!!) preset switching is perfect! Unit sounds very accurate sonically and is very easy to set-up. We are now VERY unique in our audio. Compared to other stations in the market, we are as loud yet maintain legal modulation (at least 4 stations in our market run with 130%+ modulation). We re not squashed sounding at all and if you compare us with the other stations (all formats) we re clearly a dynamic and clean stand-out signal on the dial now. NOTE: We aren t naming names because everyone who is reaping the rewards of sounding better appreciates their anonymity (with respect to the competition). We won t blow your cover, either.
