White Paper: Measuring the Improvements in Optimod-FM 8600 
and 8600S “MX” FM Peak Limiting Technology 

 

Introduction 

The 8600 and 8600S offer new “MX” peak limiter technology that decreases distor-
tion while increasing transient punch and high frequency power handling capacity. 
Compared to the FM-channel peak limiter in Optimod-FM 8500, the new peak lim-
iter typically provides 2.5 to 3 dB more power at high frequencies, which minimizes 
audible HF loss caused by preemphasis limiting. Drums and percussion cut through 
the mix. Highs are airy. “Problem material” that used to cause audible distortion is 
handled cleanly. 

While this design offers about the same loudness as 8500 processing, its main goal is 
to make FM analog broadcasts more competitive with the cleanliness, punch, and 
open high frequencies of the digital media against which FM analog transmissions 
now battle.
