Over 280 SC-22s are in use in the top 50 radio markets across the U.S. and are an integral component of CCI’s next generation rebroadcast system delivering broadcast quality audio to Websites worldwide.

The SC-22 gained popularity with the rise of the major streaming companies such as Akamai, Yahoo and Activate.net who use the SC-22 for audio encoding. CCI's integration of the SC-22 to their encoders once again confirms the SC-22’s role in mission critical commercial applications.

“CCI’s Website network attracts over 4.6 million unique visitors each month,” adds David Foley, Antex Electronics President. “We are very pleased CCI selected our professional sound card for encoding audio – this is certainly the most robust application for the SC-22 to date!”
