Preset Processing Profiles and Custom Profiles
6.1 Factory Preset Profiles
Factory Programming Presets are our “factory recommended settings” for
various audio formats or classes. These are designed as starting points to help get on
air quickly without having much to understand and adjust the various controls. Each
of these can be further tuned based on once preferences and saved in custom profiles
or user defined profiles so that next time the user can directly access and tune into
these user defined profiles.
•
CLASSICAL
: Very soft compression to ensure that the high frequencies do not
become dense.
•
ROCK
: The ROCK presets are designed for bright high and punchy low end. A
midrange boost provides enough presence energy to ensure that vocals stand out.
•
JAZZ:
JAZZ is specifically tailored toward broadcasters that play mostly
instrumental music, particularly classic jazz (Coltrane, Mingus, Monk, etc.). It is a
quiet preset with a very clean, mellow high end to prevent stridency on saxes and
other horns. It preserves much of the qualities of the original recordings, doing
light re-equalization. The preset produces very low listening fatigue, so it is a good
choice for broadcasters that want listeners to stay all day.
•
NEWS-TALK:
This preset is quite different from the others. It is based on the
fast multiband release time setting so it can quickly perform automatic equalization
of substandard program material, including telephone. It is useful for creating a
uniform, intelligible sound from widely varying source material, particularly
source material that is “hot from the field” with uncontrolled quality.
•
SPORTS:
Similar to NEWS-TALK except the Threshold is lower.
•
COUNTRY:
It has a gentle bass lift and a mellow, easy-to-listen-to high end,
along with enough presence energy to help vocals to stand out.
