TIPS
•
To people who do not have time to fit and to hear carefully
the Radio, throughout several days, we recommend to use
some of the 15 default presets. Only sound technicians with
great patience will have to try to make their own adjustments.
Its patience will be compensated surely by a customized
sound different from the sound of other radio stations.
•
Please read carefully the description of each adjustments
made by Solidyne. Take it the time to listen to each program
and how each control affects to the sound on the air. Once
you knows clearly “so that” of each adjustment, comes to
make your customized adjustment. This way will be easy for
you to obtain that sound that you have in mind.
•
Of no way is recommendable to change values “completely
without information”, without knowing how will affect each
change to the sound of the radio.
•
Finally, an encouraging commentary; these adjustments are
zero risk, because you always will be able to return from the
default program, that never change.

of the processor, showing the main stages
involved in the audio processing. The operation is
the same one that in other screens. Turn the JOG
to select a stage and touch briefly to enter.
LISTENING ON THE EDITION
•
Next we will see the different forms to create or to modify
the sound of a program. Each change that we make will
listen on the air. Therefore we will have to listen carefully
with a good receiver (better still tuning Walkman or and
an audio amplifier of high quality, with good
loudspeakers). Not to listen the signal directly from the
audio output of 462dsp/AM, but the air signal of the
transmitter.

4.4.2 EXPANDER / AGC
4.4.2.1 AGC OUT GAIN
The output level of
the AGC is a
CRITICAL
ADJUSTMENT, since
it determines the
level with the signal
reaches the multiband compressors, and therefore
the compression degree that will be applied.
