Neural Audio Honors Ibiquity, NPR

Neural Audio Corp. presented a “Broadcast Brain” Award to Ibiquity Digital Corp. and Mike Lyons, vice president, aftermarket business development.
Ibiquity has approved the Neural Audio 5.1 surround sound digital audio system as compatible with the HD Radio System.
Neural also saluted four NPR program participants for NPR’s 2005 New Year’s “Toast of the Nation,” the first live national broadcast of a 5.1 surround sound event. Receiving the award were Mike Starling, NPR vice president of engineering; Ben Roe, NPR director of music; Jan Andrews, NPR senior engineer; and Mike Pappas, KUVO(FM), Denver, chief engineer.
Neural Audio, integrating a Harris Broadcast/Neural NeuStar UltraLink Digital Audio Conditioner and NeuStar 5225 Mix-Edit Transcoder for 5.1 surround sound, supplied the audio processing and surround sound technology for the NPR event, which highlighted surround sound mixes from various venues.
