The Wheatstone VP-8 Plus builds on the success of the acclaimed VP-8 by adding many new features for even higher performance, including advanced audio processing functions for greater audio consistency, clarity, overall loudness and lower distortion. It also gives you complete front panel menus for quick and easy set up out of the box without a PC.
Targeted for broadcast and professional audio applications, the VP-8 Plus offers six built-in processing modes selectable from the GUI software; FM, AM, FM-HD, AM-HD, AAC < 48kHz, AAC > 48 kHz, with specialized codec preconditioning tailored for each of the MP3, AAC and AAC+ modes. Separate audio input gains for analog and digital, a selectable all-pass filter for making voice energy more symmetrical along with 4 AGC's and 8 Peak Limiters and much more.
The VP-8 Plus ships with new GUI-LITE software that makes it simple for staff members of any skill level to adjust and operate.
