Arrakis ARC-WAVE-7-M2 Complete Wireless 15 Channel Station Package

A Complete Wireless 15 Channel Station Package With Music Included The Arrakis ARC-WAVE-7-M2 bundles the ARC-15BP-Blue broadcast console, New~Wave automation software, and three complete music libraries into a single package, giving a station a large-format 15 channel setup with built-in Bluetooth calling, dedicated automation software, and real music content all in one purchase. Rather than sourcing a console, automation software, and a song catalog separately from different vendors, this bundle brings the hardware, the software running it, and a real music library together so a station can start running actual programming almost immediately. The ARC-15BP-Blue provides fifteen configurable input channels along with USB audio and Bluetooth calling built in standard, while New~Wave manages scheduling, playback, and voice tracking so the station can run unattended when needed. The included music libraries mean a station doesn't have to spend weeks building a catalog from scratch before putting together a real broadcast day. For a larger station wanting significant input capacity, wireless calling, and content ready to go, this package covers everything at once. The ARC-15BP-Blue Console Built To Flex Between Mic And Line Inputs The ARC-15BP-Blue is a 15 channel analog console using balanced RJ45 connections throughout, with channel one dedicated to microphone input and channels two through five configurable internally as either additional mic channels or stereo line level inputs. This flexibility lets a station run as a lean two-mic setup or expand to a five-mic panel discussion without needing different hardware. Channels six through thirteen are balanced stereo line level inputs suited for CD players, network feeds, and other studio sources, with optional 48 volt phantom power available for mic channels running condenser microphones. Channel fourteen includes a built-in USB sound card for direct PC or Mac play and record, which is exactly what allows New~Wave to use the console's own audio hardware rather than a computer's onboard sound card. Channel fifteen comes Bluetooth-enabled standard, letting any Bluetooth device pair to the console for calls or wireless streaming, while an external phone hybrid can still be connected to the same channel at the same time, giving a station both wired and wireless calling options simultaneously. Bluetooth Calling And Streaming Built Directly Into The Console Bluetooth functionality on channel fifteen uses a BlueCore 5 Multimedia chip, built to handle full bandwidth, high quality A2DP stereo streaming rather than the lower fidelity audio typical of basic Bluetooth accessories. Calls can be taken directly on the audition bus, letting staff screen a caller, record the call for later playback, or send it live to the program output with a single click of a button. This gives an operator complete control over exactly when and how a caller reaches the air, without needing a separate device or external accessory to handle that screening process. Beyond phone calls, the same Bluetooth channel supports streaming audio wirelessly from a paired device, letting a host bring in a personal playlist or a produced segment without any cabling involved. 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 a Bluetooth-paired phone can bring live calls into the mix at any point, staff can blend live wireless content with scheduled automation without interrupting the broadcast to manually switch modes. Three Complete Music Libraries Ready To Load And Play This bundle includes three of Arrakis's Masters Music Libraries, professionally remastered song collections built specifically for broadcast automation use rather than generic consumer audio files. Every track has been recorded as a 256kbps MP3 for solid audio quality, with silence trimmed from the front and back of each file and audio levels normalized for consistent playback across an entire schedule. Files are named according to Arrakis's automation naming format, so New~Wave recognizes and organizes them correctly without any manual renaming or reformatting needed. Intro to voice and segue end-of-message times are already set on every file, allowing a host to talk over an intro or overlap songs cleanly without manually timing each transition. With libraries available across genres and decades, a station can select libraries matching its intended format and have real programming loaded and ready to schedule almost immediately. Support And Setup Included To Get 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-15BP-Blue's flexible channel configuration, built-in wireless calling, and the ready-to-use music libraries, this bundle is built to move a larger station from unboxing to a fully wireless-capable, running broadcast schedule with minimal delay.
