Technical architecture and reliability: a fundamentally different approach

Wavespark Audio stands out thanks to its hybrid cloud-local architecture that redefines professional music broadcasting. Our Store & Forward technology guarantees uninterrupted playback even in case of internet outages, eliminating awkward silences in your venues. This approach is supported by our integrated professional AP420 player, designed with a fully controlled embedded system.

A major advantage of our solution lies in its musical flexibility. Unlike locked-in systems tied to specific music catalogs, Wavespark provides a decoupled technical platform. You can upload your own tracks or music tailored to specific countries of deployment.

This model lets you switch music providers without having to overhaul your technical setup or replace your AP420 players. You keep your hardware investment while staying free to evolve your musical offer as needed.

Integrated web radio streaming

This feature allows professionals to include external streams (such as France Inter, a private corporate radio, or RadioKing) in their schedule, without technical limits and always with the reliability of the AP420 player. You can also insert messages at any time over the stream.

Installation and usage: simplicity serving efficiency

One of the main challenges in professional audio solutions is deployment and configuration complexity. Wavespark Audio solves this with preconfigured players that are quickly deployed in-store. Our intuitive interface requires no learning curve, so your teams can start using it immediately. Full remote control and detailed system status reports simplify maintenance and troubleshooting without any on-site intervention.

This simplicity extends to the ability to duplicate and reuse existing projects, avoiding the need to start from scratch for every new deployment. RadioKing uses a different approach, requiring a computer and internet connection to operate, with manual stream configuration for each location.

Advanced scheduling: automation at the core

Effective audio content management in a professional setting requires advanced scheduling tools. Wavespark Audio excels with automatic playlist and firmware update scheduling. This automation frees up bandwidth during business hours and ensures your content stays up to date.

Our calendar feature lets you define complex broadcast schedules in just a few clicks. You can visually set start and end dates, choose random play or resume from history, and even include backup content to secure web radio playback.

RadioKing offers basic playlist creation and ad scheduling, a solution sufficient for smaller needs but limited in more demanding professional contexts.

Expertise that drives your projects

The difference between two solutions often comes down to the quality of support. Wavespark Audio offers specialized technical support throughout your project, with a personalized approach tailored to your specific constraints. Our team has in-depth knowledge of your field, allowing us to quickly resolve complex issues and optimize your deployments.

This tailored approach ensures the long-term success of your projects and your satisfaction. RadioKing offers standard support with responses within 24 business hours, along with tutorials and online documentation. This can fall short for large-scale projects requiring specialized assistance.

Multi-site management: the decisive edge for networks

Managing multiple audio locations is a major challenge for retail chains or hotels. Wavespark Audio excels with centralized management from a single interface. Our global deployment system with preconfigured players simplifies new site setup, while automatic content sync ensures consistent sound identity across your network.

 

Real-time monitoring gives you complete visibility into your entire audio system.

When should you choose Wavespark Audio over RadioKing?

Professional demands first

The musical independence offered by Wavespark Audio is a major strategic asset. Unlike solutions that lock you into a specific ecosystem, our modular approach allows you to adapt your musical offer freely, without technical constraints. This flexibility is especially valuable for businesses seeking to refine their music strategy over time.

Support as a key success factor

Complex sound ambiance projects require more than just a technical solution. Our expert, tailored support ensures the success of your deployments and the ongoing optimization of your systems. This partnership-based approach makes a lasting difference.
