Arrakis ARC-WAVE-3 Console & Automation Bundle

A Complete 10 Channel Console And Automation Package With USB Built In The Arrakis ARC-WAVE-3 bundles the ARC-10UP broadcast console together with New~Wave automation software, giving a station a full 10 channel setup with built-in USB computer audio paired directly with the software that runs it. The ARC-10UP handles the physical side of the studio with mic, line, phone, and integrated USB inputs, while New~Wave manages the scheduling, playback, and voice tracking that keeps a station running even during unattended hours. Because the ARC-10UP already includes a USB sound card built directly into the console, connecting it to New~Wave is a matter of a single USB cable rather than adding a separate audio interface to the setup. This bundle is a strong fit for stations that want the input capacity of a 10 channel board along with a tight, purpose-built connection to their automation software, without needing to shop for a compatible USB interface separately. The ARC-10UP Console With Built In USB Computer Audio The ARC-10UP is a 10 channel, 10 input console built for on-air and production studios that need a direct computer connection alongside standard analog inputs. Two mic channels support a host and guest configuration, six channels handle stereo line level sources, and channel ten is a dedicated telephone interface for live or off-line caller handling. Channel nine functions as a built-in USB sound card, letting the console connect directly to a Windows PC or Mac for play and record without needing a separate USB interface. This model uses unbalanced RCA connections, making it a natural fit for studios running consumer-type source gear, and it includes the same two stereo Program output buses, real VU metering, and built-in headphone and cue-talkback systems found across the ARC-10 series. The console is built with the same durability standards found throughout the ARC line, using socketed ICs, LED illuminated switches rated for roughly five million operations, and conductive plastic faders for long-term reliability. New~Wave Automation For Scheduling And Unattended Playback New~Wave is built around a customizable automation schedule that plays music, spots, and other programming automatically while a studio is unattended, letting a station sound live around the clock without needing staff physically present at all hours. Its category based music scheduler organizes songs into groups and pulls from those categories automatically as the schedule plays, with a refined shuffle that prevents the same artist or title from repeating back to back. Cart rotations handle commercial scheduling, while start and kill dates let promotional or seasonal content play only during the correct window before stopping automatically. The software is highly fault tolerant and specifically designed to prevent dead air, moving on to the next scheduled event automatically if a file happens to be missing. Because the ARC-10UP's USB channel connects directly into this scheduling engine, audio moving between the console and the computer stays tightly synced without the added latency or configuration issues that can come with third party USB interfaces. Voice Tracking And Live Assist Tools Built For Everyday Use New~Wave includes a built-in Hot Keys player that gives quick access to custom pages of audio files, useful for sound effects, liners, or short clips a host needs to trigger instantly during a live segment. Voice tracking lets a host record commentary ahead of time for the overnight or unattended hours, so the station still sounds live even when no one is actually in the studio during that shift. New~Wave Tools, included with the software, is where most background tasks happen, including building schedules, generating reports, voice tracking, and managing the audio library. With the ARC-10UP's dedicated telephone channel available alongside the automation schedule, a station can also weave live caller segments into an otherwise automated broadcast day without needing separate equipment to manage that transition. Compatible With Existing Software And Ready For Internet Streaming New~Wave works with major third party traffic and music scheduling software, along with outside audio production tools, so a station isn't forced to abandon systems it may already rely on for other parts of its workflow. The software also includes a built-in encoder for internet streaming, sending audio along with title and artist metadata to a station's streaming service of choice, which matters for stations running online alongside or instead of traditional broadcast. Audio files can also be imported from nearly any external source, including FTP transfers, network shares, or files recorded elsewhere, with the software automatically detecting and importing completed files for playback. This flexibility means the ARC-WAVE-3 bundle can expand alongside whatever other broadcast technology a station is already using or plans to add later. Support And Setup Included To Get A Station On The Air Quickly Every New~Wave purchase includes hours of video tutorials available around the clock, along with manuals and training material to help staff learn the system at their own pace. A free 30 minute computer configuration session is included, where Arrakis staff remotely connects to help set up the software correctly from the start. Combined with the ARC-10UP's built-in USB connection and straightforward physical installation, this bundle is built to get a station from unboxing to a fully synced, on-air setup with as little friction as possible.
