Import/Export
To apply a modified preset on a different ECRESO FM transmitter, export and import it using buttons in the sound
process toolbar
(5)
.
When exporting, a .sp file including all parameters for the current preset is created and saved locally or on the
network. This file can then be imported into another transmitter.
Factory presets can be downloaded on the
website to be reimported if needed.
9.3.3.
Transmitter settings
Note that the MPX power limiter and hard clipper are transmitter parameters
(6)
, they are set for the whole
transmitter, not for individual sound processing presets (see section 5.15 for more information).
To enable/disable them, slide the corresponding ON/OFF buttons.
To adjust their values, you may either click on the dots like with other
buttons, or click on the button to open a pop-up windows and enter a
specific value.
Click the Save button in the main toolbar
(4)
after modifying MPX power
limiter and hard clipper settings.
The displayed output level does not take into account the hard clipper.

Sound process parameters
BYPASS
Unlike several other FM processors, the bypass is not a preset, but a real bypass feature that
roots the signal directly to the output without going through the sound processor algorithms.
The MPX Power Limiter and the final Hard Clipper are not affected by this BYPASS but only by their own ON/OFF
buttons.
INPUT STAGE
The first vu-meters indicate the audio levels (left and right) at the input of the processor. The units
are in dBr, relative to the input level setting of the current audio source. For example, if you feed the
analog audio input of the transmitter with a +12 dBu signal and if you configure the corresponding
input level setting to 12 dBu as well (see section 5.6), the vu-meter will indicate 0 dBr. Be aware that
you may see different results if you add gain to your signal before the processor, in the input settings
page: right trim, drive or pre-emphasis.
In general, the processor will operate at its best when the peak meter indicates 0 dBr. Obviously this
must be observed while the studio is playing a typical content. If it is a soft musical part, it is better to
wait until the content changes. Don’t hesit
ate to observe during several minutes. If the peak meter is
too low or too high, adjust your input level setting (see section 5.6).
