About Sonifex Flashlog 8 Multi Channel Logger, AM/FM/DAB+ and IP Streams Software

The Sonifex Flashlog 8 Multi Channel Logger is a configurable, ultra powerful multi-channel logger which uses the Auricon and Digitorc sound cards, IP based line inputs (Axia or Wheatstone), radio capture cards and internet radio streams, in a rugged, reliable 4U chassis to continuously log up to 2 years of radio broadcasts or audio. Using the PC-DAB1-4 DAB+ multi-ensemble PCIe Radcap card, this latest hard disc logger records the entire contents of up to four ensembles. Decoding occurs during playback, showing DLS text, MOT slide shows and electronic programme guides along with the audio.

But DAB+ isn't all you get with Flashlog 8. Taking advantage of today's powerful multi-core processors and growing hard disc capacities, Flashlog 8 pushes back the barriers on traditional line and radio capture logging with the ability to record up to 64 stereo line channels, 32 stereo FM stations, 32 AM stations, 4 DAB+ ensembles and 32 internet radio streams, limited only by the number of PCIe slots on the motherboard. The number of logging days can be independently set for each line, AM or FM channel and for each DAB+ ensemble. All text fields are Unicode-based, allowing multilingual display and entry. Playback on both the logger and through Flashback 8 supports saving log extracts as MP3 (not available in the USA until 2018) as well as WAV, WMA and AVI files.
