Crash course to decibels
What decibels actually are, why they're logarithmic, and what that means when you change a level by 3 dB.
Dynamic Score
Making decisions on automated dynamic range compression requires a scoring system that takes three different measurements into consideration.
Audio encoding artifacts
How audio encoders use psychoacoustic masking to reduce file sizes, and why this process creates audible artifacts in compressed formats.
Loudness and normalization
Understanding what is loudness, how it's measured and why standards exist.

Fremen

Broadcast infrastructure that works in impossible conditions.

We experiment relentlessly, then deploy only what's proven. The result: autonomous radio running years without intervention, remote broadcasts from locations without reliable connectivity, audio processing meeting standards automatically.

What we build

Three things, done well.

Most of what looks like infrastructure is held together by hope. We design for the cases hope runs out.

01 · Radio automation

Years without intervention.

Autonomous playout that survives power loss, network loss, and operator absence. Used in national broadcasting and state crisis communications.

02 · Remote broadcast

Stable signal where networks aren't.

Field-tested SRT, redundant transports, and recovery behavior built for places where the connection is the unreliable part.

03 · Audio processing

Standards met automatically.

EBU R128 and ATSC A/85 compliance, broadcast-grade normalization, three-click workflows. Same engine engineers respect, simple enough to hand to anyone.

How we work

Experiment relentlessly. Deploy only what's proven.

If it has to run for a decade in a building no one visits, it has to be boring on purpose.

Broadcast doesn't reward novelty. It rewards predictable behavior under load — at 03:00, on a holiday, with a flaky uplink and no one in the room. Even on Mondays.

Our research shows up in our products only after it has stopped being interesting. By then we know what it does at the edges, what it costs to maintain, and what it will look like in five years.

That's why national broadcasters and crisis communications infrastructure pick us, then keep us.

Have something that has to keep running?

Tell us where it sits, what fails first, and what it costs when it does. We'll tell you whether we're the right people.
