SETUP
541 setup requires entries on a number of the Webpages. Items
specific to the Setup page will be discussed in order here.
Radio Settings
75µs
is the default
De-Emphasis:
setting, but may be reset here
to 50µs , the standard for Europe and some other regions out-
side North America, or to
None,
as might be required for certain
test purposes.
RDS/RBDS:
sets the mode for RadioData to either the North
American RBDS (North America) Standard (factory setting), or to
the European
RDS (Europe)
Standard.
Mod Response: refers to signal integration for the quasi-peak
readout of FM peak carrier modulation. An FCC specification
for this measurement no longer exists, but it is our recommen-
dation to err (if necessary) on the side of caution and choose
the fastest, 50µs setting.
Loudness Window (Sec):
settings refer to the long-term-integrated
LU loudness bargraph reading under Meters / Loudness (LU) , and
the time study under
History Plots / Loudness / Integrated Loudness
History. The range is adjustable by the slider between 30 and
120 seconds. The ITU-R BS.1770 Standard is a bit nebulous
with regard to this integration; we recommend the default value
of
120
seconds.
MPX Output
The rear-panel
MPX OUT
BNC connector can deliver either the
FM-baseband
MPX
signal or the 19kHz stereo
Pilot
tone. The
Level (Vpp): of the waveform is adjustable in 10mV increments
between
1
and
6
volts peak-to-peak.
NOTE: The Webpage slider adjusts in 50mV increments, but
entering a number into the accompanying box refines this to
10mV steps.
Program Line
Outputs
The analog left/right and AES-digital line outputs are indepen-
dently programmed and adjusted for output levels, both in the
same manner. The
Source:
choice in either case is audio from
FM or from the SCA audio subcarrier.
You may set the
Analog Level (dBu):
anywhere between
–15 and +15 , and the Digital Level (dB
FS
)
:
between –30 and 0 . Oth-
er information regarding these outputs is found on Pages 9-10.
The
Digital Output sample rate defaults to 48kHz, but can be set
to 44.1kHz as may be required.
Dante/AoIP
Streams
This section of the Setup Webpage adjusts only the program
line levels of the simultaneous Dante/AoIP output streams on
the rear-panel RJ45
AoIP Port
. As with other digital outputs, the
Level (dBFS):
may be set between
–30
and
0
. Other Dante set-
tings are addressed in a separate subsection shortly.
