to scroll through options displayed on the LCD screen (J), increase/decrease numeric options and more.

 

Press the jog wheel (K) to make a navigation selection or to enter settings.

2.   If you’re using L/R audio to feed a monitor, transmitter, or STL, once you are on the Input/Output menu 

screen, rotate the jog wheel until Output is highlighted. Press to select. 

3.  Rotate the jog wheel to highlight the appropriate Level control for the output being used. Press to select.

4.  Rotate the jog wheel adjust the output level as appropriate for the next device. Press to accept the setting.

5.  Exit and return to the Output menu screen.

6.  Rotate the jog wheel to highlight FM Options. Press to select. 

7.  Rotate

 the jog wheel to highlight FM Pre-emph. 

Rotate the jog wheel to highlight the pre-emphasis 

setting for your country or region. Only If BS-412 power limiting is required, turn it on from the Options 

menu. If you’ve selected a L/R audio input device in previous steps, select the appropriate De-emph for 

the following device. 

 

Note: If you’re feeding an uncompressed digital STL, or want to use an audio output to feed the exciter, 

turn De-emph off for that output. This means VOLT’s FM Pre-emph, selected at the start of this step, 

stays as part of the signal to the STL. VOLT should be the only device providing pre-emphasis or limiting. 

This means you should disable any additional pre-emphasis or limiting in the exciter. 

8.  Repeat Steps 2 to 4 above to set other outputs.

9.  Exit and return to the Input/Output menu screen.
