Analog Line Outputs:

Active balanced (XLR) outputs are ad-

justable between –10dBu and +24dBu

(+21.5dBm), corresponding to full car-

rier modulation; source impedance is
200 ohms.

Line Output Characteristics:

The Digital and Analog Line Outputs

may each be configured independently

for 20kHz flat response, or for 15kHz

‘FM’ characteristics, either with pre-
emphasis or normalized to flat.

Composite/MPX Output:

Two unbalanced (BNC) outputs are in-

dependently adjustable between 0.8V

p-p and 9V p-p (+12dBu), correspond-

ing to 100% carrier modulation; source

impedance is 75 ohms. Pre-emphasis
may be set to 75µs, 50µs or OFF.

RDS Input:

Unbalanced/bridging (BNC) input ac-

cepts a 57kHz RDS subcarrier at any

level between 0.5V p-p and 5.0V p-p for

a typical injection level of 5% of total
carrier modulation.

19kHz RDS Sync:

When RDS is enabled, the Sync Output

(BNC) delivers a 5V p-p TTL-compatible

square wave at the 19kHz pilot fre-
quency; 75-ohm source.

IP Network Port:

An RJ45 jack accepts TCP/IP network

connections for remote setup and op-

eration of the DAVID IV via LAN or In-

ternet with any Web browser, plus full
SNMP support.

Headphone Jack (Front Panel):

A quarter-inch (TRS) headphone jack al-

lows the user to monitor the processed

program audio. A volume control next

to the jack adjusts the listening level.

AUDIO PROCESSING FEATURES

Program High-Pass:

A user-programmable high-pass filter

attenuates sub-audible noise that could

compromise modulation efficiency.

The filter is adjustable between 20Hz
and 65Hz.

AGC:

Unobtrusive, ‘windowed’ AGC is both

peak- and average-responding with a

capture/correction range of ±18dB.

Positive AGC gain may be truncated to

any value b18dB and 0dB. The

AGC window and correction rate are

user-programmable.

Stereo Enhancement:

This dual-action utility effectively

broadens the soundstage for the stereo

program and the center-channel ‘solo’
component independently.

5-Band ‘Multipressor’:

Program audio is split into five fre-

quency bands. Each user-adjustable

band imparts parameter-programmable

dynamic compression and adjustable

static gain to afford both static and dy-

namic equalization ‘signature’ control
over the program audio.

Bass Augmentation:

Sub-bass program frequencies undergo

independent dynamic compression, ex-

pansion, selective clipping and filtering

for control over both static ‘Rumble’

and dynamic ‘Punch’ of bottom-end
components.

PIPP™ Peak Limiter:

Inovonics’ exclusive Polarity-Indepen-

dent Peak Processor assures optimum

modulation of the FM carrier or other
transmission system.

ITU Multiplex Power Control:

The Peak Limiter section may optional-

ly be configured to control the r.m.s.

power of the composite multiplex sig-

nal to meet European Standard ITU-R
BS.412.9.

Adaptive Pre-Emphasis:

User-defined HF limiting and/or distor-

tion-cancelled clipping provide inde-

pendent amplitude management of

program frequencies subjected to the

FM pre-emphasis curve. This helps

preserve program brightness and clari-

ty despite power bandwidth constraints
native to FM broadcasting.

Composite Clipping:

At the user’s discretion, up to 3dB of

clipping may be applied to the compo-

site/baseband signal. Clipping is per-

formed before the injection of the ste-
reo pilot and RDS subcarrier.
