The
OPTIMOD-AM 9300 Digital Audio Processor
Orban's all-digital 9300 OPTIMOD-AM Audio Processor can help
you achieve the highest possible audio quality in monophonic
AM shortwave, medium wave and long wave broadcasts.
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
DSP56367 digital signal processing chips, the processing has
cleanliness, quality, and stability over time and
temperature that is unmatched by analog processors.
OPTIMOD-AM 9300 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.
Take a little time now to familiarize yourself with
OPTIMOD-AM. A small investment of your time now will yield
large dividends in audio quality. OPTIMOD-AM was designed to
deliver a high-quality FM-like sound to the listener's
ear by pre-processing for the limitations of the average car
or table radio (while avoiding audible side effects and
compromises in loudness or coverage). Because
such processing can make audible many defects ordinarily
lost in the usual sea of AM mud, it is very important that
the source audio be as clean as possible. Orban's
publication Maintaining Audio Quality in the Broadcast
Facility (available in .pdf form from ftp.orban.com)
contains valuable information and specific suggestions for
improving the quality of your audio.
The rest of Section 1 explains how OPTIMOD-AM fits into the
AM broadcast facility. Section 2 explains how to install it
and set it up. Section 3 tells how to operate
OPTIMOD-AM. Sections 4 through 6 provide reference
information. For best results, feed OPTIMOD-AM unprocessed
audio. No other audio processing is necessary or desirable.
If you wish to place level protection prior to your studio /
transmitter link (STL), use an
Orban studio level control
system expressly designed for this purpose. (At the
time of this writing, this is the
Orban 6300 Multipurpose
Digital audio Processor.) The 6300 can be set up so that it
substitutes for the broadband AGC circuitry in
OPTIMOD-AM, which is then defeated.
Making the Most of the AM Channel
OPTIMOD-AM rides gain over an adjustable range of up to
25dB, compressing dynamic range and compensating for
operator gain-riding errors and for gain inconsistencies in
automated systems.
OPTIMOD-AM increases the density and loudness of the program
material by multiband limiting and multiband
distortion-canceling clipping, improving the consistency of
the station's sound and increasing loudness and definition
without producing audible side effects.
OPTIMOD-AM precisely controls peak levels to prevent
overmodulation.
OPTIMOD-AM compensates for the high- and low-frequency
rolloffs of typical AM receivers with a fully adjustable
program equalizer providing up to 20dB of high-frequency
boost (at 5 kHz) without producing the side effects en-
countered in conventional processors. This equalizer can
thus produce extreme preemphasis that is appropriate for
very narrow-band radios. OPTIMOD-AM's
fully parametric low- and mid-frequency equalizers allow you
to tailor your air sound to your precise requirements and
desires. OPTIMOD-AM also fully supports the NRSC standard
preemphasis curve.
