ORBAN MODEL 8600Si
be free from rumble and hum.
This preset was designed by Greg Ogonowski and was inspired by early
homebrew multiband processing found on some popular AM radio sta-
tions in the late 1960s and early 1970s, particularly CKLW.

all use a 200 Hz band1/band2 crossover frequency to achieve a bass
sound similar to the classic five-band Gregg Labs FM processors designed by Orban’s
Vice President of New Product Development, Greg Ogonowski. Dynamically, these
presets produce a slight increase in bass energy below 100 Hz and a decrease of bass
energy centered at 160 Hz. This bass sound works particularly well with radios hav-
ing good bass response, such as many auto radios today.
In terms of loudness, midrange texture, and HF texture, the non-“MX” versions of
these presets are similar to the
LOUD-HOT+BASS
presets. The MX versions fully ex-
ploit the 8600Si’s ability to increase high frequency “air” and transient impact, and
are excellent general-purpose presets for stations playing post-1980 recordings of
various genres of popular music.
IMPACT MX:
There are three
IMPACT
presets.
IMPACT
MX
is intended for CHR and similar formats where attracting a large audi-
ence (maximizing cume) is more important than ensuring long time-spent-listening.
This very loud, bright, “major-market” preset has a great deal of presence energy
that cuts through on lower-quality radios.
Its sound changes substantially as the
L
ESS
-M
ORE
control is turned down—distortion
decreases while bass punch and transparency improve. Therefore, exploring various
L
ESS
-M
ORE
settings is very worthwhile with
IMPACT
, because, for many markets, this
preset will be “over the top” if it is not turned down with
L

ORE
.
GREGG

may be preferable to

settings.
IMPACT
Is the 8500 version of this preset as has about 18ms of latency. Its audible
performance is inferior to
IMPACT
MX,
so it should only be used in circumstances
where the delay produced by
IMPACT
MX
is unacceptable.
IMPACT
LL
is the 13 ms-latency version of
IMPACT
. The same suggestions about ex-
ploring Less-More settings apply to this preset too.
INSTRUMENTAL:
An alias for the
JAZZ
preset.
JAZZ:
JAZZ
is an 8500 preset specifically tailored toward stations that play mostly
instrumental music, particularly classic jazz from the LP era (Coltrane, Mingus, Monk,
etc.). It is a quiet preset with a very clean, mellow high end to prevent stridency on
saxes and other horns. It preserves much of the qualities of the original recordings,
doing light re-equalization. The preset produces very low listening fatigue, so it is a
good choice for stations that want listeners to stay all day. Stations programming
classic jazz should also investigate the
MELLOW
JAZZ
MX
preset.
