Key Benefits:
In the fast-moving world of radio broadcast monitoring, having reliable, field-ready tools can make all the difference. For BeCast Consulting, a French company specializing in the measurement and quality control of FM and DAB+ radio broadcasts, the Audemat MC6 has become an essential tool for daily operations.
“We used to rely on basic field strength meters at fixed locations, but those setups lacked precision and flexibility,” says Patrice Albarelli, President of BeCast Consulting. To improve the accuracy and efficiency of their measurements, the company adopted the Audemat MC6 — an all-in-one FM and DAB test and measurement platform by WorldCast Systems.
Today, BeCast Consulting uses the MC6 for FM excursion measurements, RDS data analysis, and complete signal characterization in both FM and DAB+. These operations include comparative measurement campaigns along roadways. They also perform audits of audio quality and signal strength in various environments, from urban centers to rural zones, where coverage can fluctuate significantly.
Among the MC6’s standout features for BeCast are the FM and DAB analyzers, GoldenEar audio quality assessment, automated reporting, and frequency scanning. The flexibility to analyze multiple parameters in real time, while maintaining data consistency, has allowed BeCast to increase the accuracy of its diagnostics and the value of its client reports. Patrice Albarelli emphasizes how the MC6 has transformed their work: “It’s an essential tool for all FM and DAB measurements. It brings transparency and precision to the data we deliver to clients.”
One of the biggest benefits has been the consolidation of multiple devices into one: “The MC6 replaces several different pieces of equipment, which helps us save time and improve diagnostic accuracy.”
In addition to simplifying logistics and setup, the portability of the MC6 has made it easier for the team to respond quickly to measurement requests in the field. This has proven especially useful when troubleshooting interference issues or verifying regulatory compliance under tight deadlines.
Patrice Albarelli is also clear on what sets the MC6 apart: its ability to centralize all the measurement features needed for FM and DAB+ in a single, easy-to-use device. This has had a direct impact on their productivity, workflow efficiency, and the quality of client reports.
