Sonoma County, CA, USA

The five channel system has now been expanded from seven to eight sites.

Sonoma County chose TaitNet QS2's high simulcast performance that significantly reduces maintenance. TaitNet QS2 uses high-stability oscillators to maintain very stable transmitter frequency, unlike traditional simulcast frequencies that drift over time so regular maintenance is required at each site to avoid distorted audio signals where coverage overlaps.

TaitNet QS2 digital signal processing-based Line Equalizer Modules route audio to each transmitter, analyses the characteristics of a neighbouring transmitter and automatically adapts its own signals to match.

The County also chose the system because it was modular, simple to install and because it was able to interface with microwave or radio frequency audio paths or telecommunications lines.
