Key features
Engineered for streaming
SOUND4 x1 .CL is based on a true processing chain dedicated to webstreaming and features the “Predictive HQSound” algorithm which optimizes codec results and reduces compression-induced sound artifacts.
Under the hood...
Based on the HQ SOUND 192 kHz engine, a SOUND4 patented technology, the processing chain is composed of an advanced Wideband AGC, 4-band EQ, Tone FX, Stereo FX, 3-band processing, 4-band limiter with special high-end management for reducing streaming artifacts, and for finishing a super efficient final limiter with an Over Drive mode for getting a sound more solid when needed. In short, all you need to make your streams sound's perfect!
R128 Loudness management
SOUND4 x1 .CL is fully compliant with loudness standard, truepeak respectful, users can set the loudness barrier where they want!
The best balance in term of CPU needs
In real life, there are always compromises, in the typical application of streaming processing, it is crucial to not consume tones of CPU for a maximum of efficiency. Imagine when the need is for hundreds and hundreds of channels... x1 is the first processor in the world in terms of sound performances and CPU consumption: less than 250MHz per instance! Just imagine, 400 instances on a 16 cores processor running at 5 GHz, SOUND4 is the only in the world who can provide this!
All controlled in a super user-friendly HTML GUI
Ergonomics is the obsession at SOUND4, x1 .CL is fully controlled thanks to a nice and user-friendly HTM5 GUI...
Specifications
Applications
This product is ideal for streaming applications, HD radio, DAB, and other digital applications. x1 .CL comes with Windows driver I/O support, ASIO Windows driver connectivity, and DLL integration capabilities. The AoIP version supports AES67, Ravenna, Livewire, and Dante-AES connections. Additionally, x1 .CL can process files on the fly at speeds up to 30x or higher, depending on CPU capabilities.
Typical CPU use
The processing engine consumes 180 MHz. Typically and with a headroom for security, a user will be able to run 400 x1 .CL on a 16 cores processor running at 5 GHz. Of course, this depends on the processor's generation. Virtualized SOUND4 products are compatible with Intel & AMD, we always recommend the latest generations of processors for the best results in terms of capacities.
Os Compatibility
On Windows operating systems (Windows 10, Windows 11, Server 2019, Server 2022), x1 .CL supports Virtual Driver, ASIO, and native DLL engine for software integrations. The AoIP version is supporting AES67, Ravenna, Livewire, and Dante-AES and runs exclusively on Linux Debian, compatible with both conventional PCs/servers and Raspberry Pi 5. The native DLL is also available for Linux systems.
Recomended Instruction-sets capacitties
For high density applications, we recommend CPU armed with AVX2 (or better AVX512F).
User interface
All is accessible thanks to our super user-friendly and ergonomics HTML5 user interface.
