The AGC (Automatic Gain Control) in

The AGC (Automatic Gain Control) in a modern broadcast facility works harder than ever before. More and more often,studios are unmanned and the levels on your console become set it and forget it. If your sources aren’t carefully controlled it’s up to the AGC to make those corrections. But even then a competent AGC is not enough. Differences in amplitude AND dynamic range must be considered for an AGC to properlyoperate in “the zone”. That’s where iAGC comes in. Not just a leveler, the iAGC is an amplitude AND dynamics manager that helpsensure the right amount of processing is added to your source material. Is it too dense? The iAGC relaxes the processing so that dense material doesn’t sound “double processed”. Does your audio need more punch? If there isa lot of dynamic range in your audio, you can choose to leave it alone, or letthe iAGC make real time adjustments to “program match” your audio to yield a consistent audio signature.The choice is ultimately yours, but the possibilities are endless!
