MaxxStream technology has already proved enormously powerful and effective, said Gilad Keren, chairman and CEO of Waves. Our speed in bringing a variety of configurations to market is a direct result of the incredibly positive response to our beta testing program. The configuration options reflect the needs and preferences of users, positioning MaxxStream as an easily accessible, highly cost-effective solution for all audio streaming applications. Whenever audio is transmitted via a telephone, cellular phone, radio, computer, or other analog or digital communication system, it must be conditioned before it is sent. Audio conditioning, which includes dynamic range compression, equalizing, and peak limiting, is routinely needed for AM and FM radio and TV transmission.
Similar conditioning is required for audio transmitted over digital links, such as the Internet.
In the digital realm, the processing is applied before the data is encoded and streamed over the communication channel. MaxxStream enables audio content to be conditioned and prepared for high quality audio streaming, to enable speech to be intelligible and music and other sounds to be clear. It allows premium quality by utilizing Waves renowned audio processors that provide automatic loudness control, voice intelligibility enhancement, noise reduction, equalization and digital filtering, peak limiting and dynamic range control, stereo enhancement, and virtual bass enhancement. In all configurations, MaxxStream creates a compact, unified workstation that obviates the need for expensive, space-consuming external hardware. The full MaxxStream product line is available via Waves extensive distribution network, Waves direct sales force, or the Waves web site.
