The Workstation Audio Control option, which may be used with ALERT AM Emergency Advisory Radio Stations and Classic Edition Information Stations, allows convenient screen-based drag-and-drop control of broadcast messages. Create, edit, store and manage up to 300 hours of natural voice and text-to-speech recordings. There are virtually no limits on the number of broadcast messages that may be stored. Additionally, message groupings may be created for anticipated emergency scenarios and immediately placed on the air. Automatic audio processing within the system ensures high quality audio for transmission.

In an emergency, if power is lost, the workstation's uninterruptible power supply allows critical messages to keep flowing while your generator begins operation. In a catastrophic situation where no generator is present, ALERT AM and Information Stations may continue to be operated via telephone if battery backup has been optioned or if the AM station location has generator backup.

The physical setup includes a configurable, stand-alone, PC workstation, preprogrammed software with user-interface tools, cables, power supply backup and an illustrated instruction manual. High quality audio output can be sent to a wireless audio link, leased line, distribution amp or direct feed to transmitter systems.
