    WaveCAST Audio Presets The Audio Presets allow the user to quickly and easily configure the WaveCAST for common applications. In some cases, the Audio Presets may be the only setup needed for properly configuring the WaveCAST server.

When one of these selections is made, the performance of the WaveCAST is immediately optimized for the needs of that application (an adjustment is automatically made to the Low-pass Filter, High-pass Filter, and Compression).
