C3 HEADPHONE AUDIO PROCESSOR

Back in the analog days, on-air personalities could hear themselves in their headphones using a radio tuned to their station. The station’s audio processing would make everything sound bigger and louder, even their voices. Which gave them the instant feedback they needed to adjust their voice and mic technique to sound just the way they wanted. Unfortunately, when radio stations transitioned to digital, delay was introduced into the signal chains making it impossible for talent to listen to live processed sound.   Some resourceful engineers have rigged up old analog processors for the talent, but not everyone has a spare. Some modern digital processors offer a low-latency monitor tap, which would actually be a pretty good solution if your processor lived in the studio with the talent. Sigh. Sadly, most on-air talent is listening to dry, flat unprocessed audio in their headphones. We wondered why nobody builds a low-latency headphone processor for on-air talent. Then we stopped wonderin
