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.
Wheatstone says the Neuron’s spectral approach makes it stand out from the crowd. The FM/HD/DAB+ processor uses 1/3-octave band resolution for transient peak control without pulling down critical frequencies.
Wheatstone’s proprietary algorithms are used for analysis of pre- and post-processed audio as well as data from user control settings to manage spectral balance and program density.
The processor also includes re-emphasis optimization, multipath mitigation, a Nielsen/Kantar ratings encoder, an RDS/RBDS generator, an SCA and stereo generator and Wheatstone’s baseband192 for digitizing the multiplex spectrum.
