Enabling AGC
The JUSTIN 808 level-matching
utility, called AGC, or Automatic
Gain Control, is
On
as a factory
default. The switch to turn it
On
and
Off
is under
Setup
/
AES Audio
Adjustments.
Again, this level-
equalizing option is available only when the JUSTIN 808 is in-
stalled in the HD1 Airchain mode.
AGC Rate
The factory-default setting for the
AGC Rate (dB/min)
is
0.5
(0.5dB-per-minute correction), a good all-around figure. But
this can be set anywhere between
0.1
and
1
. Particularly when
FM and HD1 are processed differently, a slower setting here
will lessen any tendency for the JUSTIN 808 to ‘hunt’ for that
‘perfect’ level match, which would be impossible in practice.
Automatic
Phase
Correction
In addition to level-matching, the JUSTIN 808 is also capable of
maintaining the absolute phase relationship between the FM
and the HD1 programs.
This is not to say that the two programs will be phase-coherent
at all frequencies; the fact that one program utilizes analog
transmission with pre- and de-emphasis, and the other has an
all-digital path, makes this improbable. Separate audio pro-
cessing systems even further ‘smear’ the phase relationship be-
tween programs. But with all variables considered, the absolute
phase between programs (normal vs. reversed) will be automat-
ically optimized. This feature is operational as a factory de-
fault selection, and is available whether the JUSTIN 808 is in the
FM or the HD1 airchain.
