Macrotel X1/X2 Multimode

Premium

Multimode Telephone Hybrid

WHAT’S NEW
IN THE LAST RELEASE

Macrotel X1 Multimode and Macrotel X2 Multimode can manage one or two POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) landline, VoIP, BT or GSM (with optional interface) telephone connections.
Audio enhancement features are custom designed to guarantee the best quality in phone calls, the internal framework based on DSP (Digital Signal Processor) works in real time taking care of the telephone signal process delivering the best possible audio performance. Macrotel X1/X2 Multimode it’s a Telephone Audio Processor able to shape the sound to optimize the yield of every single phone call.

Macrotel X1/X2 Multimode manages calls from POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service), VoIP, BT or GSM (optional) telephone connections and it embeds a web server and a simple and intuitive GUI accessible from any device and browser. For services synchronisation and logs Macrotel X1/X2 Multimode connects to a NTP server.

The main XLR input and output connectors can manage analogue or AES/EBU signals according to the device settings (AES/EBU input/output is optional) while a second XLR analogue output is also available. When in BT mode the two outputs act like a stereo balanced output.

Macrotel X1/X2 Multimode records telephone calls on a USB flash memory plugged in the USB front panel slot. Audio will be recorded in PCM format with a self-explaining filename based on date/time and can include the RX audio only or both RX and TX signals. It is also possible to send an RTP-PCM audio stream to an external PC to record the call, in this case the recording will include the RX audio only or both RX and TX signals.

Customers using any digital console of the Oxygen series can control Macrotel X1/X2 Multimode through the network, just adding its IP address. In this way there is no need to use a GPIO but you should only connect the Macrotel X1/X2 Multimode to the Oxygen Console through the Telco module.

A multiple GPIO port allows to manage the device from external equipment, like audio console or PC. System sends “Ring”, “Hold”, “Hook” and “REC” status and manages “Hook”, “Rec”, “Mode” and “Hold” functions. On the front panel an audio meters with 18 LEDs shows the RX and TX audio level of each channel. Additional LEDs show working Mode and Power on. Power supply can be used between 90 and 260 V AC – 47-63 Hz: this allows to use it worldwide.

Automatic telephone line hooking (after a settable number of rings) and automatic telephone line release based on the “dropped line” tone (this feature can be disabled). Logs of phone numbers of incoming and outgoing calls (date, call time start, call time end) are available and can get exported, as all the other logs, on USB key. Adjustable AGC, compressor/limiter and equalizer parameters are on as well as for the others connections mode.

Please note that supported PBXs and phone service providers require interoperability with established VoIP providers. Such services are delivered via either a SIP-based IP PBX or through a cloud-based telephone service provider. These are complex services, therefore sometimes configuring AxelTech products to interact with them can be difficult or not possible.

AxelTech constantly updates its products to reach compatibility with these services, nevertheless incompatibilities are still possible and any change or update made by the service providers or by the PBXs themselves can cause problems with Macrotel X1/X2 Multimode in VoIP mode.

Here below you can find the list of the PBXs and VoIP service providers that have been used successfully by our customers with our products: these services are not fully compatible 100% of the time, as one update can interfere with the compatibility and of course we cannot guarantee to test them. We would suggest to customers who are considering using Macrotel X1/X2 Multimode with services other than those listed below, to contact our technical support team before purchasing this service.

We will allow the customer to return the AxelTech product and obtain a refund if the device is not compatible with the service he has selected. The following services are currently reported as compatible with AxelTech Products: Supported PBXs: Asterix Supported VoIP Providers: Olimon Tel.

FM distribution Network Control & Monitoring 2 MS AxelTech

Wolf 1MS - 2MS

Wolf 1MS & Wolf 2MS
FM Radio Monitoring

Everything under control

Wolf 2MS and 1MS are state-of-the-art FM Radio Monitoring devices, designed to control the signal presence and quality over an FM Distribution Network.
Onboard twin tuners allow to accurately scan frequencies, they offer high performances in FM reception, MPX audio encoding and RDS data streaming. This cutting-edge equipment features three main operating modes: continuously reception, bandscan and smart bandscan.
With FM static mode the user can focus on a single channel, selected and monitored exclusively. Thanks to the scan mode up to 32 channels for each tuner can be scanned and supervised in a single analysis. FM static mode also receives up to 64 memories. Wolf 1MS and 2MS allow to manage accurately RF, MPX, RDS, Audio and RDS data dynamic services. In smart mode the channel scan time is adjusted automatically according to instantaneous measurements requirements.
Wolf 1MS and 2MS are the ideal Probes for a Network Management System.
All data and information captured during the FM Monitoring can be collected by a Control Room and used to analyse the FM Network performances in real-time or in the past.

Models

For simple configurations that do not require NMS software, Wolf can send via email a daily report of the 24 hours events. Wolf provides a database sheet to manage these information. The two built-in audio streamers are the essential feature of Wolf 2MS (Wolf 1 MS has 1 built in audio streamer). Audio channels can be streamed to a remote logging system that records both, audio and data, coming from the transmitter site. It is also possible to send audio stream to a remote player for audio-on-demand purposes. Users can listen to each single FM tuner and streamed audio anywhere, using all Internet browsers.
Two onboard network interfaces provide maximum flexibility in streaming and connectivity processes. From PCs, tablets and smartphones broadcasters can completely control Wolf and have full access to all data and alarms. When an alarm is trigged, NMS system sends notifications via SMS or email or takes an action to manage any possible issue.
External input sources are available: analog Left + Right and digital AES/EBU inputs. Users can connect audio to the controlled external input sources. These audio inputs are constantly monitored: silence detection, and audio presence. Tests, performed also by end users, have shown that Wolf circuits are extremely safe and completely free from any kind of radiofrequency interference.

Block Diagram

Wolf 1MS and Wolf 2MS are FM monitoring systems designed for FM Off Air signal monitoring purpose. Wolf 1MS is provided with one high quality FM tuner, while Wolf 2MS allows the broadcaster to receive up to two frequencies thanks to an internal double tuner. Tuners are independent and they can operate in three ways: Continuous reception, Bandscan and SmartScan.

Internal tuner ensures high performances in FM reception, RF and MPX audio analysis and RDS data stream output. The monitoring made on FM channels can be a basic RF analysis or an advanced RF, MPX and AUDIO measurement.

Continuous reception: a single carrier is selected and monitored;
Bandscan mode: 32 FM Channels can be scanned and monitored in Wolf 1MS and 64 FM Channels can be scanned and monitored in Wolf 2MS. The bandscan time is also user definable, in a range from 1 second up to 10 seconds for each channel;
SmartScan mode allows a smart and variable scan time that is adjusted automatically to fit the instantaneous measurement requirements. Thanks to this feature it is possible to avoid false-positive rising errors.

Special Features

During continuous reception mode, each single tuner checks and completely decodes the multiplexed signal:
Mono level, Pilot level, Audio and RDS levels are measured and they are always under control. All datas, captured during FM Channel monitoring, can be sent to a Network Management System (such as AxelTech’s Ranger) or they can be shown in a common password protected web page. Communication between Wolf and Ranger NMS is SNMP v2C protocol. For all single parameters under monitoring, a threshold can be set. If one or more values go out of range, alarms are delivered.

Once the RF signal is received, audio should be streamed from the transmitter site back to a remote logging system. The streamer input allows to do an internal selection between all inputs available: Tuners, External Analog In, External AES/EBU In.

Wolf 1MS and Wolf 2MS are completed with an “External Input” source: analog Left + Right input and Digital Left + Right in AES/EBU format. This audio input is continuously monitored: silence detection (Threshold/time and level), left and right presence, peak left, peak right. Rear-panel audio output always presents the audio decoded from Tuner-1 or Tuner-2 and this setting is user definable, while audio is available on analog or AES/EBU format.

Wolf 1MS and Wolf 2MS provide a large variety of connection: double Ethernet port, USB and front panel headphone output, 4x GPIn opto coupled and 4x GPOut over relays. Rs232 serial port for RDS-UECP bridging and rebroadcasting purposes, and rear panel placed SD card to store or recall the complete equipment configuration.

RF antenna inputs are over BNC connectors, a XLR balanced stereo analog input and output, AES/EBU input and output. OS and datas are loaded and stored over solid state memory as SD and flash RAM. Universal switching power supply, 1 rack unit space in fan-less configuration, allows to operate worldwide.

Premium

MPX Stereo Generator & RDS Encoder

The Tiger E3/E5 is a highly versatile device that serves multiple functions within the broadcasting and audio monitoring domain. Primarily, it is equipped to function as a high-performance MPX stereo generator capable of ensuring optimal stereo signal quality for radio broadcasting. In addition to this, it also serves as a reliable FM site control system, providing seamless management and control over FM broadcasting sites.

Furthermore, the Tiger E3/E5 incorporates cutting-edge technology to operate as a monitoring IP-audio codec, allowing for efficient and high-quality audio monitoring over IP networks. This feature is essential for maintaining consistent and high-fidelity audio transmission in various broadcasting scenarios.

In addition to its core functions, the Tiger E3/E5 integrates other advanced features that enhance its capabilities further. These include an audio changeover, an audio limiter, a stereo generator, an RDS encoder for embedding digital information into FM radio signals, an MPX changeover for smooth signal transition, and an integrated FM monitoring system with a built-in tuner for comprehensive monitoring and control.

Overall, the Tiger E3/E5 stands as a comprehensive and versatile solution, offering a wide array of functionalities to support efficient and high-quality broadcasting and audio monitoring operations.

Now Tiger E5 also embeds the brand new TigerSync Streamer feature, a cutting-edge technology that offers a way to distribute audio to FM transmitters through a simple Internet connection using IceCast, a reliable and flexible protocol.

Tiger E3/E5 can now be equipped with Thimeo MicroMPX codec for studio-to-transmitter link (STL) as an option.

Connect Any Kind of Sources

Tiger E3/E5 manages any audio sources such as Analog & Digital audio, IP audio, Backup-Player, and MPX, thanks to the 4-channel audio changeover and 2-channel MPX Changeover. A delay can be assigned to any source and allows the time alignment of two or more sources. It is possible to use the internal audio player as a backup if all the external sources fail. The internal limiter continuously monitors the source audio levels, allowing the level to manage and avoid any overshoot generated by the satellite or IP-Audio MPEG decompression. MPX inputs are decoded (L&R) and available to be used as sources for the Audio Changeover or MPX Changeover. Digital MPX AES192 is available optionally (1 Out). MPX Changeover features a UECP filter that allows the regeneration or filtering of any RDS service (PS, RT, RT+IH, TMC, TA/TP), thus giving the user the chance to maintain, replace, or filter any RDS parameter starting from the incoming RDS signal. With the optional Tuner, it becomes a Changeover / FM Monitoring System with an integrated Tuner. Tiger E5 can manage and decode MPX and RDS signals, receive IP Audio streaming signals, and receive and analyze Analog and Digital audio signals. Thanks to the 4 channels Audio changeover and MPX Changeover it can handle every kind of received signal in a transmitting site.

Easy Access

Tiger E3/E5 is fully configurable via the WEB interface. Its web server is compatible with all the available web browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera, Safari, etc…). Tiger E3/E5 supports laptops, tablets, and smartphones simplifying the browsing and setting of the device with its responsive-kind graphic interface that adapts the viewing mode according to the resolution and position (portrait/landscape) of the current viewing device. The provided WiFi USB dongle creates a specific WiFi hotspot that enables access to the device without the need for cable or wireless net. Tiger E3/E5 features 3 IPV4 and 3 IPV6 addresses to ensure concurrent connection for all the broadcasting and monitoring systems.

Easy Maintenance

Any first-time user can take advantage of Tiger E3/E5 simplified settings management. Easy Configuration Function quickly and easily enables the user to set the working mode, while Quick RDS Setup brings the most simple way to set the main RDS parameters. Import/Export and Preset Manager are available for more advanced management of Tiger E3/E5. These functions apply to the whole device configuration or only to some selectable modules (System, RDS, MPX, Audio, Multimedia, and Tuner). Tiger E3/E5 uses a uSD card to create an automatic copy of all the device data whenever the user changes anything. If the device needs to be replaced or duplicated, the uSD card can be used to clone it.

Monitoring

Tiger E3/E5 features an endearing GUI (Graphical User Interface) that makes use of clear elements, rich in information. With a simple selection of the available banners, it is possible to keep under control any function. The selected banners are always visible in any menu. Tiger E3/E5 displays in both graphical and numerical format all the input and output levels as well as the internally generated signals. The visualization can be numerical, bar graph, or time-related.

In the RDS section, a specific area is available for on-air RDS group analysis (static and dynamic) to evaluate service balancing. In the MPX section, spectrum analyzers display the MPX+RDS input and output signals. TIGER E3/E5 provides two independent listening paths for every internal audio source. Local: use the headphone socket on the front panel and the display to select the source. Remote: using the internal IP audio encoder that enables the remote audio receiving with different listening quality choices. The MPX decoder lets the user listen to the decoded L&R audio for any of the MPX sources, input, output, or internal.

NEW: TigerSync Streamer

The TigerSync Streamer solution by AxelTech offers a way to distribute audio to FM transmitters via web technologies using IceCast, a reliable and flexible protocol.

IceCast can handle thousands of connections and allows up to 15,000 users to listen without interruptions when the audio is uploaded to a cloud server. This protocol is unsuitable for traditional broadcasting as it is not synchronous and can result in a 1 to 5-second difference for users listening to the same radio broadcast. For instance, when the FM Tuner is equipped with automatic frequency control (RDS-AF) while driving, the seamless transition between the transmitters is imperative for ensuring an uninterrupted listening experience for the user.

AxelTech’s R&D efforts have been focused on ensuring that this technology is compatible with broadcasting needs. With the TigerSync Streamer option, a Tiger E5 Encoder serves as the network’s hub, handling the encoding process and transmitting the signal to an IceCast server. This can be the Tiger‘s internal IceCast server, with a limited number of reception points (up to 15) due to the Tiger‘s resource constraints, or an IceCast server set up on a Linux cloud server.

With TigerSync Streamer we have implemented a sophisticated method for synchronizing audio using inaudible timestamp codes. These codes are transmitted through the Opus codec at rates ranging between 32Kbits/sec to 510 Kbits/sec (or MP3 192kbits-320kbits/sec) and then distributed via an IceCast Server. On the receiving end, the Tiger devices capture the IceCast stream and timestamp data, ensuring precise synchronization for audio playback. As a result of this synchronization approach, there is a consistent delay lasting anywhere from 1.0 to 10 seconds, with the optimal latency falling within the range of 2 to 3 seconds. This fixed audio latency remains uniform across all decoding Tiger units in comparison to the encoding units, resulting in a reception delay. However, TigerSync Streamer guarantees that all decoders maintain synchronization with an impressive accuracy of a few milliseconds.

In the initial stages of the project, the target synchronization between decoded audio over the network was set at 30 ms. However, the achieved result surpassed expectations, with the delay being below 5 ms. While the system was not designed as an isofrequency, it effectively ensures the alignment of all transmitters and facilitates imperceptible transmitter changes.

TigerSync Streamer, designed to provide a backup feed to transmitters, has exceeded expectations by proving itself in the field as a technology capable of powering the distribution network through a solid, precise, and low-cost infrastructure.

NEW: Micro MPX

Tiger E3/E5 can now be equipped with Thimeo MicroMPX codec for studio-to-transmitter link (STL) as an option.

MicroMPX transports full FM composite MPX signal, including pilot and RDS, at 320kbit/s with perfect peak control over private and public networks.
The new option includes a dedicated internal hardware module with a separate LAN connector and internal audio input/output in digital format for perfect audio quality.

The MicroMPX lovers can now take advantage of all the additional options allowed by AxelTech Tiger E3/E5, like four channel changeover, backup SD card audio player, RDS post-processing, MPX, and RDS decoding for monitoring, and many more, which can satisfy any need at the transmitting site.
