Welcome to SAME™ Smart Audio & Mixing Engine
SAME™ (Smart Audio & Mixing Engine) is Riedel’s next-generation software platform for professional audio processing, mixing, monitoring, and workflow automation. Designed to meet the demands of modern broadcast, live event, sports, and remote production environments, SAME combines ultra-low-latency audio performance with unprecedented flexibility, scalability, and operational simplicity. Built on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) server technology, the platform grows effortlessly from small installations to large, multi-site productions while maintaining a consistent user experience and exceptional audio quality.
At the heart of SAME is a powerful suite of more than 30 advanced processing tools and mixers, enabling applications ranging from automated voice-over workflows and dynamic equalization to loudness control, signal analysis, audio monitoring, and immersive audio processing. By automating repetitive technical tasks, SAME allows audio professionals to spend less time managing infrastructure and more time focusing on creativity, storytelling, and production excellence.
SAME introduces innovative concepts such as the Audio Pilot, providing centralized visibility and monitoring across all active productions. Whether operations are local, decentralized, or fully remote, users can instantly access and monitor audio processes without complex signal routing, ensuring complete operational awareness and faster decision-making.
Together with the Riedel STAGE™ management platform, SAME simplifies the integration of devices, roles, and users through an intuitive browser-based environment. Advanced security, remote assistance capabilities, and centralized resource management help organizations streamline deployment, reduce training requirements, and maximize operational efficiency.
