Set the analog output source.
If you do not need the 8382’s analog output to drive a transmitter, you can con-
figure it to receive the output of a special low-delay version of the multiband
compressor. This signal is suited for driving headphones for talent speaking live
on-air. The input/output delay is approximately five milliseconds. Even though
normal 8382 presets have a delay of about 20 ms (which most talent can learn to
use without discomfort, although they may need some time to become accus-
tomed to it), the low-delay output will cause less bone conduction comb filter-
ing. However, in most cases, the low-delay output will not be necessary to ensure
adequate talent comfort.

[Skip this step if you will not be using the analog output.]
To configure the Analog Output for low-delay monitoring, turn the knob
to choose
MONITOR
. Otherwise, choose
XMITTER.
If you configured the Analog Output for low-delay monitoring, sure that
you set the analog output pre-emphasis control to
F
LAT
in step 11 above.
CAUTION:
The low-delay output has no peak limiting and is therefore
not suited for driving a transmitter. If you use the low delay output, you
must drive your transmitter with the AES3 digital output.
If you use the low-delay output to drive your studio monitor speakers as
well as talent headphones (which may be necessary if your facility has
only one monitor input for both), then we recommend connecting a loss-
of-carrier alarm to one of the 8382’s GPI inputs. Program this input to
mute the monitor output in the event that carrier is lost. This simulates
normal “off air” monitor functionality and immediately alerts the staff if
the transmitter goes off the air unexpectedly.
You can program any GPI input for Monitor Mute functionality. See step
(19.C) on page 2-19 for information on how to program a GPI input.

Set analog output to be flat or pre-emphasized.

If you will use the analog output to drive a stereo encoder,
P
RE
provides
the best performance because the stereo encoder that receives the ana-
log output does not have to restore the pre-emphasis. However, if you
