Program Line Inputs

• Analog: active-balanced (XLR) accepts line levels from –15dBu to +15dBu; +24dBu clipping, Impedance is 600 ohms
• AES Digital: (XLR) accepts line levels between –30dBFS and 0dBFS at sampling rates from 32kHz to 96kHz
• IP Streaming: accepts all Icecast/SHOUTcast MP3, Ogg and AAC streams

***NOTE: ANALOG & DIGITAL I/Os ARE NOT AVAILABLE SIMULTANEOUSLY**

Program Line Outputs

• Analog: active-balanced (XLR) delivers –12dBu to +18dBu for 100% modulation; +24dBu clipping, impedance is 600 ohms
• AES Digital: balanced (XLR) delivers –30dBFS to 0dBFS at 100% modulation; selectable sampling rates of 32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz
• Characteristic: outputs may be set for flat orpre-emphasized response in FM mode.

Program Signal Latency (Delay)

1.5ms in bypass, 3ms analog I/O, 3.5ms digital I/O (typical)

Network Port

TCP/IP network connection (RJ45) for remote setup/operation and in/out audio streaming; full support for SNMP control

GPIO Ports

3 GPI, 3 GPO with assignable functions and logic polarity

Headphone Jack

Front-panel (TRS) 3.5mm

Internal Test Tone Generator

20Hz - 20kHz; variable frequency and level

Alarms

Local (GPIO) closures, browser interface, SNMP and SMS/email alarms for analog, digital and stream audio loss; maintains daily, weekly, monthly logs

Scheduler

Dayparting or ‘signature’ processing (e.g. talent microphone) is simplified with an onboard real-time clock and setup-preset programming.

Audio Processing

• AGC: ±15dB capture range; gated with dual-rate ‘windowed’ operation
• Leveling: variable ‘syllabic’ 2:1 compression
• EQ: 4-sections of parametric equalization
• Bass ‘Punch’: variable bass enhancement
• Compression: 3-bands with selectable crossovers, variable master and individual band drive controls, plus r.m.s./peak ‘density’ adjustment
• Final Peak Control: no-clip feed-forward wideband limiting with independent high frequency protection for FM mode
