It offers simple EAS implementation and dual redundant AoIP networks

We are featuring the products that won the Radio World Best of Show Award at the 2025 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.


As Orban celebrates 50 years, its Optimod 5950 HD sets its audio processors off toward another half-century of service.

This new processor provides analog FM with MX limiting along with HD-1 and HD-2 in a 1 RU package. It offers simple EAS implementation, dual redundant AoIP networks, RDS with PS scrolling, separate management and streaming network interfaces and dual redundant power supplies, all with HTML5 remote network control. Options include Super HiFi HLS+ decoding.

All Orban products have a five-year warranty.

Shown with Paul are Mike Pappas and Bob Orban, with a display of legacy Orban gear.
