Sets a limit between 5 and 20% for how quickly PDM can
build or exit a delay
Build Mode
Us
e
¨
an
d
Î
to select what signal appears on PDM’s output
(and is usually fed to the transmitter or network) while building up a delay.
Choos
e Expand, Insert

r PreRoll
. These choices are described on
page 15 of this manual.
Build
File
Lets you choose which jingle or other audio file saved in
PDM will play out when building a delay, if
Insert
has been selected in the
menu above.
Use
¨
and
Î
to select the file’s name. PDM can store multiple audio files for flexibility
in programming.
Use the Graphic User Interface (page 31) to upload and manage audio files in PDM’s
internal audio file library.
Exit
Mode
Use
¨
and
Î
to determine how PDM behaves when you re-
turn to non-delayed programming by pressing
EXIT
. Choose
Roll
Out
or
Compress
; these choices are described on page 13 .
Dump Mode
Lets you choose between Dump and Overkill mode.
•
Dump is the normal mode most people are used to: it “jumps ahead in time”,
skipping the objectionable audio. It then rebuilds PDM’s delay automatically
as needed.
•
Overkill plays a pre-selected file instead of the objectionable audio. The delay
is maintained and doesn’t have to be rebuilt.
Overkill File
This menu lets you choose which audio file previously up-
loaded to PDM will play during a dump event.
•
When an
Overkill File
is selected, PDM’s delay and dump time auto-
matically adjust to match the length of that file. For example, if you want a
particular program to have an 8-second delay and you’re using
Overkill
,
create and select an
Overkill File
that runs 8 seconds.
•
Note that when
Overkill
is selected as the
Dump
mode,
Delay
and
Dump
menu choices disappear from the Control menu since their values are auto-
matically set.

The factory default is 7, which takes about two minutes to fully build an eight-second delay. That’s sub-
tle enough to be imperceptible to most listeners. There’s a discussion of Build Speed on page 8.
