Radio ITESO, the university radio station in Guadalajara, has successfully carried out a high-quality audio broadcast from the Guadalajara International Book Fair (FIL), using state-of-the-art AEQ technology to ensure a professional audio experience for both the technical team and the audience. This initiative is part of the station’s commitment to providing real-time content with studio-quality sound, even from remote locations.
The audio link was established using the portable Alio codec, which allowed the connection of both guest microphones and the main broadcaster, Bettina Acevedo, to the same device. This system enables clear, faithful audio capture, managing multiple sources in an integrated way and ensuring full coverage of interviews and presentations at the FIL venue.
At the receiving end, Radio ITESO used the dual-channel Venus4+ audiocodec, configured to share audio via the Dante protocol. This setup allowed the high-quality audio from the FIL to be received and distributed to any studio within the station in real time. The flexible distribution capability enables the technical team to create versatile production scenarios, adapting to different broadcasting, mixing, and recording needs without compromising sound quality.
The second channel of the Venus4+ was configured with Smartalk, enabling high-quality contributions from mobile phones. This functionality allowed remote collaborators to participate and additional interviews to be included, expanding event coverage without relying on fixed infrastructure.
With this implementation, Radio ITESO demonstrates how the combination of portable audiocodecs and professional broadcasting solutions can bring studio-quality sound to any external event, strengthening its production capabilities and consolidating its leadership in real-time coverage of cultural events.
The project was led by Esteban Contreras, Technical Manager of Radio ITESO, in collaboration with local distributor Viewhaus and their technical representative Jaime Cervantes, as well as Cesar Reyna, Manager of AEQ Mexico. Coordination among all participants ensured a smooth, stable, and professional-level transmission, highlighting the role of AEQ technology in dynamic and high-demand environments.
