Eventide BD600W+ Broadcast Delay

Eventide BD600+ Overview

Protect your broadcast from careless trash-talk with the BD600W+ from Eventide, an easy-to-use digital profanity delay with WheatNet IP connectivity that offers an exceptional 80 seconds of high-quality revenue and license-protecting delay designed to provide a seamless experience for listeners.

The delay buffer length can be customized from four to 80 seconds. Dump can be customized in half-second increments up to 10 seconds. Each time the dump button is pressed, only one segment is deleted. For example, if a unit is set to the full 80 seconds of delay buffer, and is set up to provide 8-second dumps, you will have ten separate dump segments. Pushing the Dump button the first time cuts out one 8-second segment. You still have 72 seconds of delay protection. If this is followed by more problem comments, push the Dump button again and you still have over a minute of delay protection. The Sneeze button momentarily edits audio entering the delay, allowing the host to sneeze, cough, or make a short comment without being heard on-air—and without dead air.

MicroPrecision Delay with Panic Back Up

• For stations upgrading to HD, providing a high-quality subsample adjustable delay for synchronizing analog and digital is the holy grail for maintaining a seamless experience for listeners. The MicroPrecision Delay can be adjusted on-air and ramped in and out for clean transitions without audible artifacts.
• The BD600W+ adds more delay protection, improves fidelity, and expands remote options while maintaining the user interface and yellow Dump button familiar to all radio engineers. It is the culmination of thirty years of designing and manufacturing highly reliable delays for broadcast. Featuring 80 seconds of delay, 24-bit digital and analog I/O, plus a host of new features, the BD600W+ sets a new standard for protection
• If 80 seconds of delay protection were not enough, the BD600W+ has a secondary backup called Panic. This plays a WAV file stored on a compact flash card. While the file—a jingle, ID, or another message—is played, delay is being built up in real-time, allowing programming to continue in safety as soon as the jingle is over. This can also be used for painless entry into delay.

WheatNet-IP Connectivity

• The BD600W+ features built-in WheatNet-IP connectivity and extended remote capability by conveniently streaming 24-bit audio and control data over the WheatNet-IP network for easy integration with new or existing WheatNet-IP broadcast networks.
• The BD600W+ in conjunction with the WheatNet-IP network is fully compatible with the AES67 standard for AoIP.
