Audio Mastering
EBU R128 loudness. True peak limiting. Broadcast-grade.
Professional audio processing that runs automatically. Loudness normalization, multi-band compression, de-noise — your audio meets broadcast standards without a dedicated engineer.
Broadcast audio, zero effort
From raw microphone input to broadcast-compliant output. Every stage of audio processing in one pipeline.
Loudness analysis
Real-time momentary, short-term, and integrated loudness measurement per EBU R128. Visual meters update at 10Hz.
Auto normalization
Automatic loudness normalization to -23 LUFS (EBU R128) or -24 LKFS (ATSC A/85). Target adjustable per output.
True peak limiting
Inter-sample peak detection and limiting at -1dBTP. Prevents clipping on all downstream codecs and DACs.
Multi-band compression
Four-band dynamics processing. Per-band threshold, ratio, attack, and release. Presets for speech, music, and mixed content.
De-essing and de-noise
AI-powered sibilance reduction and background noise suppression. Adapts in real-time to changing acoustic environments.
Monitor mix
Separate monitoring output with A/B comparison. Preview processed audio before it reaches viewers.
Technical specifications
Three steps to broadcast audio
Connect your source
Route audio from your mixer, microphone, or NDI source. WAVE Audio auto-detects format and sample rate.
Choose your standard
Select EBU R128, ATSC A/85, or set a custom loudness target. Pick a compression preset or tune manually.
Go live
Audio processing runs in real-time with under 5ms latency. Monitor levels on the built-in meters. Adjust on the fly.

Frequently asked questions
What loudness standards does WAVE Audio support?
WAVE Audio supports EBU R128 (European broadcast), ATSC A/85 (North American broadcast), ITU-R BS.1770-4 (international), and custom targets. Switch between standards per output destination.
Does audio processing add latency to my stream?
Processing latency is under 5ms for the full chain (normalization + limiting + compression). This is imperceptible to viewers and well within broadcast tolerances.
Can I process audio differently for different outputs?
Yes. Each output destination can have its own loudness target, compression preset, and limiting threshold. A single stream can output EBU R128 for European CDN and ATSC A/85 for North American CDN simultaneously.
Does WAVE Audio work with external audio hardware?
Yes. WAVE Audio accepts input from Dante, AES67, NDI audio, MADI, and standard audio interfaces. It integrates with broadcast audio consoles via standard protocols.
