14.3.2 ADJUSTING THE AUDIO OUTPUT LEVEL

The processed audio signal is available on the XLR OUT connectors.

The factory preset for the output signal is

0 dBm

Where necessary, this output may be tuned using the

Audio Module Setup / Output Level

menu.

In order to best adjust the output level, we recommend enabling a

pilot tone

, which identifies the maximum peak

which should match the deviation of 75 KHz. To do this:

Escape from the

Output Level

menu and enter the

Output Mode

menu.

Select the

Peak Reference Tone

option.

The Peak Tone identifies the maximum peak value of the audio reached by the processor while it is operating. This peak

corresponds to the maximum frequency deviation. This allows you to set the levels for the entire sound chain simply and

safely.

The Peak Tone consists of a 500 Hz/ 0 dBm tone.

Once you have enabled the Peak Tone,

adjust the Audio Output Level

until You reach the desired

modulation deviation.

Select the

Normal Operation

option in the

Output Mode

(Normal Operation mode allows a normal use of the equipment and all its functions)

NOTE: THE PROCESSOR FACTORY SETTINGS ARE 0 dB FOR BOTH INPUT AND OUTPUT.

TO ACHIEVE THE BEST AUDIO QUALITY, WE RECOMMEND NOT TO LOWER THE OUTPUT

LEVEL AND TO ADJUST THE EQUIPMENT CONNECTED TO THE PROCESSOR (STEREO

ENCODERS, EXCITERS, ETC.) RATHER THAN THE PROCESSOR ITSELF.

14.3.3 BYPASS MODE

Processor ByPass

mode (

Audio Module Setup / Output Mode / Bypass Mode

menu), all the processing

stages are disabled (AGC system, audio processing and pre-emphasis circuit). It allows you to carry out tests

and reference measurements: it is not intended for equipment setup or installation use
