"No antennas, no bulky steel boxes with plastic knobs, no coax, no electrical cords....that describes how we do our Remote Broadcasts using _AudioCompass_™! Our Remote gear is a laptop, two mics and the best thing ever, _AudioCompass_™ software! Our competitors see us at a high school football games and are in envy that we are set-up and ready to go on air in less than five minutes. Sam and his team are the best and have come up with a software program that is a broadcaster's new best friend!"

"What a week! If you are ever offered a radio show and need to connect Via the internet to the Radio Station, You have only one good option...Get AC DC Aka _AudioCompass_™.
Often after I purchased a product over the Internet, you are on your own. This is not the case here! I have never had a company take the time to help me install, get it running, even testing to make sure it was all good. This is way over and beyond what I expected. Thank you all so much for helping me. If there were a 10 star rating I would give it to _AudioCompass_™.
I was offered a national Radio show try out after being out of the business for 18 years. When I left radio it was phone lines and analog hardware, of course now-a-days every thing is internet. After hearing and using this program I understand why. With this soft-ware it is like being inside the radio station, not 1400 miles away; no lag time and very clear. I worked in studios where the sound was not as good when you were in the next room.
I don't understand how it works, but now I click a couple buttons and I feel like I am working at the station, not half the country away.
Thanks again for getting me up & running as well as bringing me back to the air ways. I literally could not have done it with out you.
Thanks again for all your help!"

"Advertisers love our simple and efficient remote booth! We sat up in the bank lobby for a remote celebrating their grand opening. Meanwhile, our competitor was outside, in wicked thunderstorm trying to attach mast poles to the side of their van to get a Marti shot back to their studios. With _AudioCompass_™, we were on the air in less than 5 minutes...our competitor never did get on the air! Guess which station has been back to do three more remotes and who's never been back?"

"It has been a pleasure dealing with Sam from _AudioCompass_™.

"As an air talent, there is no worse feeling than rolling into a remote with a cell phone to broadcast with. It's 2010, and there is no excuse for having cell phone quality audio on the air when a product like _AudioCompass_™ exists. We all know what station budgets are like these days, and who can afford thousands of dollars worth of field and studio equipment? The good news with AudioCompass™ is that you no longer have to settle for inferior audio, and you don't have to fire one of your 3 remaining employees to make it happen. No more bulky antennas, rusty tripods, or cracked coaxial cable... Just a laptop and a mic, and we're live with excellent quality audio from anywhere in our listening area. Make your remotes sizzle, and start living up to the expectations of your clients and listeners. Use _AudioCompass_™."

"When you're on a radio remote, connectivity to your studio or network head end can always generate sweaty palms. Every year we take Cruise Control Radio on the road during the month of August and head to Carlisle, Pennsylvania for the "Corvettes at Carlisle" show.
In the past we used POTS codecs with mixed results. You always had to worry about the availability of a decent phone line and how the junction boxes were wired. We would typically use a fax phone line to connect our POTs Codec to our studio, however, we came to discover the line daisy chained around the show grounds and if someone tried to fax something, we would be knocked of the air.
The pressure was on for the 2009, Cruise Control Radio show. We had a full two-hour live remote packed with interviews with everyone from Corvette engineers to the legendary, Mario Andretti.
What's that saying 'failure was not an option?' We swapped the POTs Codec for my laptop running the _AudioCompass_™ software. Our remote studio included four professional mics running into a small mixer that feed a USB audio interface connected to my laptop running _AudioCompass_™.
The _AudioCompass_™ set up worked flawlessly, allowing us to easily connect to our network studio and head end. No on air signal drops or pops were noticed at any time and the sound quality was excellent using the G.722 codec.
_AudioCompass_™ has allowed Cruise Control Radio to travel and broadcast from any location we choose. All you need is a decent internet connection, and that's a lot easier to come by these days than a POTs line.
Just for fun, I often test the connection to our studio using _AudioCompass_™ from hotel rooms and hotspots and there is never a problem, hooking into the studio.
Thanks to _AudioCompass_™ my palms are a lot less sweaty!"

"I'm asked all the time if it's true - can the internet really offer a stable, studio quality broadcast connection? It absolutely can.
For the last year that I did a syndicated weekend talk show, I did it using _AudioCompass_™. The audio quality was better than ISDN, delay was fine for doing two way conversation with callers, and the connection was stable. I found all this quite surprising, but I didn't complain.
Plus, life is fine without having to pay for minutes or a monthly ISDN line fee. I particularly like the portability _AudioCompass_™ offers - doing remotes is easy, and it saved me the cost of a studio rental when I went to Florida for my winter getaway."

"Three years of using a Codec to link up with the production studio for a two-hour talk radio show that's broadcast across the country was enough. However, when you add in the drops and digital stutters, it was maddening.
When a production engineer from Langer Broadcasting called me up and said 'we’re gonna go a different route', I was skeptical. However, I downloaded the trial version of _AudioCompass_™ and not only tested it with the production office, we did two shows with no incident!
I made the purchase of this software and was thoroughly impressed with the attention given by _AudioCompass_™ Technical support in setting this computer illiterate mouthpiece. Thanks _AudioCompass_™!!! The sound quality and dependability will have me using this product for years!"

On June 16th, 2008, USTalkNetwork.com launched a 24/7 Talk Network. It would not have been possible without _AudioCompass_™.
We have hosts all over the U.S. that connect to our master control in Fort Lauderdale, FL. We could not afford other ways of connecting to our remote studios. No need for ISDN or T1 lines.
If you have high speed Internet, all you need is _AudioCompass_™, a laptop, microphone and headphones and you are live from anywhere with great sound that you can depend on. My engineer friends said it would not work (LOL)...they were wrong.
