EDGE™ Audio Processor

Master your station's signature sound with EDGE - our integrated suite for professional automatic gain control, compression, and equalisation.

Written by James B

EDGE audio processing is a tool included with Premium plans.

  1. Permissions: Adjust EDGE as a Station Owner or Manager.

How EDGE enhances your station's sound

EDGE audio processing is a revolutionary new audio processor from Radio.co that improves the quality and consistency of your radio station's stream by applying:

  • AGC (automatic gain control)

  • Multiband compression

  • EQ (equalisation)

Designed to make your station sound cleaner, punchier, and more polished - closer to a professional terrestrial DAB/FM/AM broadcaster, but without needing audio engineering knowledge or external tools.

Enabling EDGE audio processing

EDGE audio processor is managed within Settings > Broadcasting.

Enabling EDGE on your Radio.co station.

Enabling or disabling EDGE™ will restart your station.

Volume Normalisation, a tool to even out volume differences for a consistent output, will be disabled if EDGE is enabled due to redundancy.

Finding your signature sound with presets

EDGE™ comes with 16 professionally mastered presets. Whether you're running a high-energy dance station or a late-night jazz show, there’s a profile for you.

Technical specs & performance

Whether you’re fine-tuning your sound or planning a station update, here's everything you need to know about the technical impact of EDGE™ Audio Processing.

Feature & Feel 🎚️

The Technical Reality 📡

Ultra-Low Latency

EDGE™ introduces a negligible delay of only 7.8ms - well below the industry standard for "noticeable" lag. Your listeners won't hear the difference, but they will hear the quality.

Station Restarts

For EDGE™ to work, your station will need a restart each time it's enabled, disabled, or a new preset is applied. We recommend changing these settings during quieter listening hours to minimise disruption.

Music Presets

Loudness isn't always better. Each preset caters to a specific genre. So find your perfect sound with a balance of EQ, compression, and AGC to amplify your audio.
