Broadcast Electronics

Broadcast Electronics (BE) is a manufacturer of AM and FM transmitters, Marti Electronics STL and RPU equipment, developer of the AudioVAULT radio automation system and parent company to Commotion - a social media company for radio.

Founded in 1959 in Silver Spring, Maryland, BE initially manufactured endless loop cartridge "cart" machines.

The AudioVAULT automation system was one of the first digital audio storage and playout solutions for radio.

AudioVAULT compensated for the slow PC processing speeds at the time by manufacturing their own sound cards and using off-bus technology.

Today, AudioVAUL is in its 4th generation architecture since the time the technology was known as a "cart" machine replacement product.
