FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
WAVES INTRODUCES MAXXSTREAM SOFTWARE:
BETTER AUDIO FOR STREAMING MEDIA
— New software application uses Waves processors to
optimize audio quality for streaming formats —
KNOXVILLE, TN — Waves Audio introduces
MaxxStream, an all-in-one software solution which uses Waves processors
to condition and optimize the audio quality in streaming media formats
for better, clearer sound. Consisting of the MaxxStream application
with its plug-in chainer, as well as SNMP-monitoring utilities, MaxxStream
lets streaming media providers harness the power of the same acclaimed
Waves audio tools used by top engineers and producers on hit records,
in major motion pictures and in popular video games.
Streaming is enjoying unprecedented growth. Waves addresses
the need for high quality audio conditioning by offering solutions that
provide comprehensive streaming processing. From compression and equalization
to limiting and bass extension, MaxxStream supports all Waves plug-ins.
It is also easy to install and easy to implement, running transparently
between users’ audio source and encoder. The result is streaming
audio that is clearer, punchier and more bandwidth-efficient.
Intuitive and user friendly, the MaxxStream chainer holds
up to eight Waves plug-ins and can support up to 16 encoder instances
simultaneously. A single input channel may also be directed into several
MaxxStream stations and processed specifically for each designated target.
Additionally, it satisfies the diverse needs of listeners with different
equipment by performing multiple high-quality sample-rate conversions
to multiple bit rates in real time, and it combines audio capture and
conditioning into a single, real-time process.
MaxxStream also doubles as a standalone software processor
for live audio. Users can connect their sound source to their audio
card or external I/O, and load MaxxStream with Waves plug-ins for a
powerful stereo multi-effects unit.
MaxxStream comes bundled with more than 50 factory presets,
taking the guesswork out of creating streaming configurations. It also
uses 32-bit floating point processing throughout, as well as a Watchdog
utility and basic SNMP monitoring and control. It is compatible with
Microsoft® Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2003.
MaxxStream comes in two convenient configurations:
MaxxStream Pack includes
- AudioTrack for equalization, compression, and gating
- Renaissance Vox for vocal enhancement
- L1 Ultramaximizer for limiting and level maximization
($500 MSRP)
MaxxStream Pro Pack includes
- C1 Parametric Compander for compression, expansion, gating, and equalization
- C4 Multiband Compressor for multiband expansion, limiting, compression,
and EQ
- L1 Ultramaximizer for limiting and level maximization
- MaxxBass for psycho-acoustic bass extension
- S1 Stereo Imager for spatial enhancement
- Q10 Paragraphic Equalizer for precision frequency-shaping

sounds)
($1600 MSRP)
