The Multiband Processor 2m provides comprehensive broadcast audio level and quality optimization. The deployment of multiple floating point DSP modules results in listener perceived improvements in tone, intelligibility and intensity regardless of the type of audio program or its source. Featuring a minimum latency digital processor with wide dynamic range and extremely low distortion, the Multiband processor 2m is set up from a wizard-driven Windows application.

APPLICATIONS:

AM/FM/TV program audio

Satellite uplink

Satellite ingest

Headphone air chain simulation

Internet streaming

Alternate language programming

In studio live performance “mastering”

Microwave links

Telco/VoIP feeds/returns

Benefits & Features

Two analog line inputs, one AES3 input, two line outputs, one AES3 output, word clock input plus user configurable audio input failover and stereo/mono/MS encode/MS decode operating modes.
Processing modules, including:
Programmable filters
Phase rotator
De-esser
Downward expander
Broadband automatic gain control (AGC)
8-band parametric equalizer
4-way programmable crossover
4-band multiband compressor and limiter
Stereo image enhancer
Acoustic environment simulator, clipper, and alignment delay
Up to 50 named presets available to accommodate any format, including factory presets, via the included Windows® software.
Presets are recalled manually from the front panel, network computer, or optional controller hardware. Automatic recall by time of day is done using the onboard event scheduler.
