Flexible Setup Options (Dependent on Your Playout)

These options are not specific to AdMaster but represent the possibilities of a multi-station setup that can be configured with almost any playout software. We are ready to assist you in setting up your system to make the most of these capabilities, without requiring costly multi-station automation solutions.

  • Playlist Separation: Keep playlists separate for items like news, weather, and station IDs on each frequency or channel while maintaining an identical main playlist.
  • Voice Track Management: Use different voice tracks for different frequencies or channels with identical rotations. No need to purchase any specific voice-tracking software. Works with almost any playout.
