Composite/MPX Output

75Ω (BNC); adjustable between 1V p-p and 6V p-p 6% - 12% stereo pilot injection; 3% - 8% RDS/RBDS subcarrier injection

Program Signal Latency (Delay)

Approx. 3.75ms

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

20Hz-20kHz; variable frequency and amplitude

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 is simplified with an onboard real-time clock and preset-selection programming.
• 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 and independent FM pre-emphasis protection limiting
• Composite Clipping: 0dB - 3dB adjustable MPX clipping depth (exclusive of stereo pilot and RDS/ RBDS subcarrier)
