Helsinki, Finland’s YLE Radio eXtrem - known as “X3M" - has become the latest major European broadcaster to choose Omnia, upgrading their audio chain with a top-of-the-line Omnia- 6fm digital audio processor.
YLE, Finland’s state-owned broadcasting company, operates 10 radio networks heard throughout Finland on FM and DAB. YLE Radio eXtrem is Based in Pasila, Helsinki, and broadcasts a Dance/Rock music format heard throughout Finland.
“We chose Omnia after a long and detailed comparison of all competitive processors,” says Lauri Tuisku, Technical Director for Radio eXtrem. “X3M broadcasts programming targeted to young people, and we need an energetic, exciting sound. At the end of the tests, we decided that Omnia-6fm had the best sound and the most features of all the processors tested, and will create the right sound for this channel.”
