This is because the psychoacoustic processing
obtains that the ear accepts like of better quality
than the original one, to certain modifications of
the waveform. But it does not mean an
"anesthesia" to the ear, to avoid perceiving the
distortions due to deficiencies in the quality of the
electronic circuits of the processors.
Considering that to obtain an excellent processing
is necessary, at the moment, to use between 7
and 10 stages of processors, the distortion of
each stage must be smaller than 0.01%. Greater
distortion values, will lead inexorably to a
degradation of the sound quality. You must
remember that has been demonstrated (Journal of
AES, Vol. 29,4,p.243), that is possible to measure
distortions
of 0.05% through a common
loudspeaker (distortion bigger than 3%). This
demonstrates that one distortion do not mask
another one. A practical rule is, then:
ALL DISTORTION INTRODUCED IN THE AUDIO
CHAIN
OF THE TRANSMITTER, THAT
EXCEEDS 0.05%, COULD BE LISTENED BY
THE AUDIENCE, EVEN THROUGH RECEIVERS
THAT HAVE VALUES OF DISTORSION 50
TIMES GREATER.
This, of course, is not a novelty for the conscious
audio engineers around the World.
Therefore, the line of SOLIDYNE processors has
distortion values smaller than 0,02%.
Few controls, easy adjustment, inviolable...
The psychoacoustic processors created by
Solidyne,
have 70% of their functions
automatically fit, under the control of the audio
program. But they also present the essential
controls for customize the sound of the radio, that
you can adjust.
AudiMax 362 has a great advantage: it does not
have critical adjustments. This means that in any
position of his controls always it sounds well. The
adjustment can be made then by inexpert people.
Simply taking all the controls to the center
position, you have an excellent sound on the air.
From there customize the sound so that the radio
sounds as you desired (this it is a question of
personal taste).
2.2 Audimax 362 overview
2.2.1 Introduction
The Audimax 362 has
7 processing stages
and
the
stereo coder
. Its main characteristic is the
ease of use, because it doesn’t require a
specialized technician to start up and to adjust the
unit; and neither it has the critical “Input level”
control, since an automatic system adapts the
input gain to the output level of any audio
console, avoiding the more frequent operational
errors. His low cost is appropriate for low-power
FM radios, as well for recording studio of high
power radio stations. The
362-IT
model is an
excellent processor for
WEBcasting
(radio on
Internet).
Operating in a FM radio, the AudiMax 362
increases the reach of the transmission
,
improving the covered area between 30 and 50%,
obtaining an impressive audio quality that will
distinguish your radio station. The AudiMax sound
is
smooth and warmth, with the classic
characteristics of the analogical processes of high
technology.
AudiMax 362 works with
3 bands
and it’s
controlled totally by
VCA
(Voltage Controlled
Amplifiers). The stereo coder stage uses digital
synthesis with 16X oversampling, a technology
developed by Solidyne that guarantees ultra-low
distortion and high channel’s separation, not
requiring any readjustment during all its life utility.
MPX output is differential type, cancelling the
residual humming.
