QuikWave Digital Audio Repeaters

QuikWave digital audio repeaters are designed to play back standard WAV and/or MP3 files in their native formats without the need for any extra transcoding and/or format conversion. Therefore, the sound quality is simply as good as it can be - just like the original’s. Most models provide CD quality playback suitable for all applications, while a few models provide AM radio quality for tight budget projects.

QuikWave systems are totally self contained and requires only a single voltage power supply. Sounds can be triggered with push buttons, relay closures, motion sensors, PLCs and etc. Sound can also be triggered via the serial port found on most models.

CompacfFlash Card Technology
All models, except the DM2204A, utilize CompactFlash (CF) card for file storage. CF cards are easy to program/install and readily available in various capacities. On the other hand, the DM2204A utilizes EPROM memory chips, making it more cost effective for low end applications requiring only a few short sound clips.

Text File Based System Configuration
Through the use of a simple text file, most QuikWave systems can be easily configured to operate in many different modes, ranging from the default push button mode to the advanced script mode. Hundreds of sound files can be accessed randomly or sequentially, depending on the mode of operation.

Audio-n-ActionTM Control
Some QuikWave models offer built-in relays for controlling external devices such as solenoids, lights, motors and etc. With our Audio-n-Action technology, the actions can be orchestrated in perfect synchronization with the audio. Basic Audio-n-Action control allows the relays to be turned on/off before and/or after, but not during, the audio playback. Advanced Audio-n-Action control allows the relays to be turned on/off at any time.

Audio-n-Action Programming Techniques
Basic Audio-n-Action is programmed through the use of text file based script mode. Advanced Audio-n-Action is programmed with either the Teach-n-LearnTM technique or the Windows based QWAplay software. The Teach-n-Learn technique allows one to program the event timing by simply pressing some buttons on the unit. The QWAplay is a sophiscated software capable of embedding multiple channels of event timing into the sound file.

Typical Applications

*  Audio and action for displays, exhibits and haunted houses
*  Automatic PA announcements
*  Sound output for gaming, vending and amusement equipment
*  Verbal feedback and assistance for industrial machinery
*  Transportation and parking garage applications
