OPTIMOD-AM DIGITAL
INTRODUCTION
1-5
Two sets of analog stereo outputs
and
two AES3 outputs
accommodate as
many as four transmitters. Outputs can be switched independently to emit the
analog-channel
signal,
the digital-channel
signal, or a
low-delay monitor
signal suitable for talent headphones.
Both the digital input and the two digital outputs are equipped with
sample-
rate converters
and can operate at 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48, 88.2, and 96 kHz sam-
ple rates. The output levels are
separately adjustable
for the analog and digi-
tal outputs.
OPTIMOD-AM is
usually installed at the transmitter
, replacing all processing
normally employed at the transmitter site, including compressor, protection peak
limiters, clippers, and high- and low-pass filters normally included within the
transmitter. It can
also be installed at the studio
if an uncompressed digital
STL is available.
OPTIMOD-AM comes with a passive
Monitor Rolloff Filter
to accurately simu-
late the frequency response of an average receiver, for use in studio monitoring.
All input, output, and power connections are
rigorously RFI-suppressed
to
Orban’s traditional exacting standards, ensuring trouble-free installation.
The 9400 is designed and certified to
meet all applicable international
safety and emissions standards
.
Presets in OPTIMOD-AM
There are two distinct kinds of presets in OPTIMOD-AM:
factory presets
and
user
presets
.
Factory Presets
The Factory Presets are our “factory recommended settings” for various program
formats or types. The description indicates the processing structure and the type of
processing. Internally, each Factory Preset that appears on the Preset list is a library
of more than 20 separate sub-presets, one of which is the default when you recall
the Factory Preset via the
R
ECALL
button or from PC Remote. To access the remain-
ing sub-presets in a given Factory Preset, navigate to

and use the AM or HD

control to adjust OPTIMOD-AM for less or
more AM or HD processing. The Factory Presets are listed and described starting on
page 3-18.
Factory Presets are stored in OPTIMOD-AM’s non-volatile memory and cannot be
erased. You can change the settings of a Factory Preset, but you must then store
those settings as a User Preset, which you are free to name as you wish. The Factory
Preset remains unchanged.
