Signal Architecture
All production assets originate at a 96kHz/24-bit sample rate to ensure harmonic transparency. We enforce a strict -1.0 dBTP (True Peak) ceiling to prevent inter-sample clipping during AAC and MP3 transcoding for digital streaming platforms.
Loudness Compliance
Our imaging adheres to the EBU R128 integrated loudness standard of -23 LUFS (_0.5 LU). This ensures seamless transitions between program material and station branding, eliminating listener fatigue and maintaining broadcast-legal levels.
Broadcast Compliance Comparison
| Feature | UK Broadcast Standard | Non-Compliant Audio |

| Loudness | -23 LUFS (EBU R128) | Variable / Unregulated |
| Phase Coherence | Mono-Compatible | Inconsistent |
| Load Performance | Sub-1s LCP (0.7s) | 3s+ Typical |
