The OPTIMOD-AM 9400 Digital Audio Processor
Orban's all-digital 9400 OPTIMOD-AM Audio Processor can help you achieve the
highest possible quality in AM shortwave, medium wave and long wave broadcast
sound. OPTIMOD-AM delivers louder, cleaner, brighter, FM-like audio with an open,
fatigue-free quality that attracts listeners and holds them. Because all processing is
performed by high-speed mathematical calculations within Motorola DSP56362 digi-
tal signal processing chips, the processing has cleanliness, quality, and stability over
time and temperature that is unmatched by analog processors.
The 9400 supports iBiquity’s HD AM® in-band on-channel digital radio system. The
digital radio processing can also be used for simulcast netcasts or DRM digital broad-
casts. In this manual, the processing for these applications will be referred to as “HD
AM” processing, even though HD AM is only one application.
OPTIMOD-AM 9400 is descended from the industry-standard 9100 and 9200
OPTIMOD-AM audio processors. Thousands of these processors are on the air all
over the world. They have proven that the “OPTIMOD sound” attracts and keeps an
audience even in the most competitive commercial environment.
Because OPTIMOD-AM incorporates several audio processing innovations
exclusive to Orban products, you should not assume that it can be operated
in the same way as less sophisticated processors. If you do, you may get
disappointing results.
