QuikWave Digital Audio Repeaters

QuikWaveTM ditgital audio repeaters are designed to provide reliable and consistent audio output for various applications including voice messages, music loops, special sound effects and etc. Much like a CD player playing sound tracks from a CD, a QuikWave repeater plays standard sound files from a memory chip/card but with no moving parts to wear and tear. A full line of products are offered at different price/performance ratio to meet your particular requirements.

Superior Sound Quality
QuikWave repeaters offer superior sound quality by playing back MP3 and/or WAV files in their native format without any conversion or transcoding. All MP3 models conform to the ISO 11172-3 standard and support CBR/VBR up to 320 kbps.

Removable Memory Technology
Instead of providing a fixed amount of internal memory, most QuikWave models are designed to play from a removable flash card. This not only allows the unit to be easily expanded, but also makes it easy to change the audio contents in the field by swapping out the card.

Massive Storage Capacity
Flash cards used in QuikWave repeaters are either SD or CF. They are readily available in a number of capacities to suit different needs. Hundreds of sound files totaling hours of audio can be stored on a  single card.

Standalone Operation
QuikWave repeaters are totally self-contained and powered by a single-voltage supply. Some models can be remotely controlled via a serial link. Others can be triggered with push buttons, relay closures, alarm/motion sensors, PLCs and etc.

Versatile Configurations
Although most applications can be achieved with QuikWave’s default mode of operation, many others require different ways of operation. These special requirements can often be satisfied by configuring the system with a simple text file put on the flash card.

Audio-n-ActionTM Show Control
Some models offer built-in relays for controlling external devices such as solenoids, lights, motors and etc. With the Audio-n-Action technology, these actions can be orchestrated in perfect synchronization with the audio. An automated show control can often be constructed without any extra equipment.

Typical Applications
*  Talking exhibits and displays
*  Music and sound for amusement equipment
*  Special sound effects for halloween attractions
*  PA announcements at airports, theme parks and etc.
*  Verbal instruction/feedback for industrial/vending equipment
