THIS PRODUCT IS NO LONGER IN PRODUCTION

The 634 has been replaced by model 674.

The INOmini 634 is a professional medium-wave AM receiver for broadcast program reception and monitoring. It may be used as a ‘confidence monitor’ or as an off-air feed for program distribution in a broadcast facility, and a user-programmable bandwidth utility delivers either high quality or restricted-response audio.

The INOmini 634 tunes both western-hemisphere (10kHz-spaced) and European (9kHz-spaced) broadcast frequencies, providing balanced analog and digital audio outputs along with important local alarm ‘tallies’.

Features


  • Sensitive DSP-based receiver

  • Variable bandwidth control utility

  • Front-panel alarms with rear-panel ‘tallies’ for Carrier Loss and Audio Program Loss

  • Non-volatile memory for all receiver setup parameters

  • Analog L/R and AES-digital program line outputs
