Best of Show: Inovonics AARON 656

It is an FM/HD Radio Dual Tuner Rebroadcast Receiver built around an MRC tuning system

We are featuring the products that won the Radio World Best of Show Award at the 2026 NAB Show. Winners were chosen by a panel of engineers and RW editorial staff for their innovation, feature set, cost efficiency and performance in serving the industry. Information about how the program works can be found in a FAQ here.


Here is an FM/HD Radio Dual Tuner Rebroadcast Receiver built around a Maximum-Ratio Combining (MRC) tuning system that continuously monitors signal-to-noise readings from Antenna 1, Antenna 2 and both combined, dynamically selecting the best configuration.

Inovonics says the technology improves performance in tricky reception areas, especially around bodies of water and other inversion layer or weather challenges.

Features include remote control via onboard webserver; BandScanner; RDS encoder; stereo regeneration; five-band audio processing; lots of failover and alarm capabilities; and the cool meters, plots and metrics that Inovonics does so well.
