„Energy schafft Momente, die verbinden. Im Radio genauso wie an unseren Events. Genau dieses Gefühl muss auch unser Sound transportieren. Soundquadrat hat unsere Strategie sofort verstanden und daraus ein Sounddesign entwickelt, das unverkennbar Energy ist und über alle Elemente hinweg aus einem Guss klingt. Besonders wertvoll war für uns die Zusammenarbeit: proaktiv, kreativ, konsequent und jederzeit absolut zuverlässig. Und sie endet nicht mit dem Launch. Soundquadrat hört weiter hin, analysiert die Umsetzung im täglichen Programm und bringt laufend wertvolle Inputs ein. So entwickelt sich unser Sound gemeinsam mit Energy weiter und sorgt dafür, dass unsere Marke vom ersten Ton an erkennbar bleibt.“

Energy creates moments that connect, on air just as at our events, and our sound has to carry exactly that feeling. Soundquadrat understood our strategy straight away and built a sound design that is unmistakably Energy and sounds all of a piece across every element. The collaboration was especially valuable: proactive, creative, consistent and always completely reliable. And it doesn't end at launch. Soundquadrat keeps listening, analyses how it plays out in the daily programme and keeps bringing valuable input, so our sound keeps evolving with Energy and our brand stays recognisable from the very first note.

“I have always turned to Soundquadrat for the production of our jingles. They fully grasp the sound I want for my stations and their creative interpretation of what I have in mind is simply astounding. The result of their hard work is remarkable and the FM1 Jingles are a testament to that. Spot-on sound for the audience it caters to and a fresh new take on radio imaging in the Philippine market. I love it! Thank you very much Oliver Klenk, music and imaging genius.”

„Wir haben eine ganz klare Vorstellung, wie Hitradio antenne 1 mit dem neuen Upgrade klingen muss: Frisch, dynamisch und nah dran am Hörer. Das neue Soundpaket unterstreicht genau diese Werte. Wir sind stolz darauf, mit Soundquadrat einen Klang entwickelt zu haben, der Maßstäbe setzt. Mit Soundquadrat haben wir einen Partner gefunden, der nicht nur unser Verständnis für herausragende Audioqualität teilt, sondern auch über das kreative Know-how verfügt, um die Marke Hitradio antenne 1 klanglich auf das nächste Level zu heben.“

We have a very clear idea of how Hitradio antenne 1 has to sound with the new upgrade: fresh, dynamic and close to the listener. The new sound package underlines exactly those values. We are proud to have developed a sound with Soundquadrat that sets the standard. In Soundquadrat we found a partner who not only shares our idea of outstanding audio quality but also has the creative know-how to take the Hitradio antenne 1 brand to the next level in sound.

“It’s magnificent! You guys are magicians! It’s really fresh, happy, like I wanted for the new season of Océane. It’s like a new life for our radio and you felt very well what I wanted! I want to thank you because I’m very happy! I’m so excited to listen to the jingles broadcast on Océane. Congratulations and thanks for everything!”

„Soundquadrat hat unser Sounddesign entscheidend nach vorne gebracht. Keine platten Hau-Drauf-Produktionen, sondern durchdachte Sounds mit fast schon künstlerischem Anspruch. Mein Ziel war es, für Antenne Thüringen ein warmes, freundliches Sounddesign on-air zu bringen, das sich vom Gebrüll der Konkurrenz positiv abhebt. Diesen Anspruch setzt Soundquadrat kontinuierlich auf einem sehr hohen Niveau um.“

Soundquadrat moved our sound design decisively forward. No flat, heavy-handed productions, but considered sounds with an almost artistic ambition. My goal was to put a warm, friendly sound design on air for Antenne Thüringen that stands out positively from the competition's shouting. Soundquadrat delivers on that, consistently and at a very high level.

“Please, I would like one Oliver and one Andy for every radio station in the world! Working with Soundquadrat is so simple - like ordering a beer and a burger. Everybody can do a jingle! But if you want somebody who will understand your needs, who will read and even upgrade your brief, spend hours on meetings to really feel the station’s needs and somebody who will say “NO” when it’s needed, then you have to work with Soundquadrat, guys. We knew Oli and Andy from before, so we knew that we would get a great jingle package - but the final result is above that! Radio 1 now sounds fresher than ever! Thank you guys for helping us to make the Radio 1 brand in Slovenia even bigger and stronger! Thank you guys, we really sound great!”

„Das Team von Soundquadrat hat hervorragende Arbeit geleistet und arbeitet hochprofessionell. Die neuen Jingles klingen sehr innovativ und passen sich perfekt in das Programm von Antenne Steiermark ein. Das Endprodukt hat unsere Erwartungen vollends erfüllt und sogar übertroffen.“

The Soundquadrat team did outstanding work and works highly professionally. The new jingles sound very innovative and fit perfectly into Antenne Steiermark's programme. The end product fully met our expectations and even exceeded them.

“In a market as competitive as Russia’s CHR market, more and more radios play the same hits. In this context jingle packages and show identity became essential for defining values, audio territory, image of each station and for making the difference between the competition knowing that the most of tracks we play are also played by the others. For many years the Soundquadrat team has allowed us to achieve this strategic goal and to stay No. 1 in Russia. Europa Plus’ sound is unique!”

„Soundquadrat hat mit dem neuen Jinglepaket für bigFM den akustischen Markenkern von bigFM genial weiterentwickelt. Das Paket ist richtungsweisend für den europäischen Markt und eine hervorragende Alternative zu dem überteuerten amerikanischen Einheitsbrei.“

With the new jingle package for bigFM, Soundquadrat has brilliantly evolved bigFM's acoustic brand core. The package sets the direction for the European market and is an excellent alternative to the overpriced American one-size-fits-all.
