plement their market and competitive position after they had time to familiarize
themselves with the 8700i’s programming facilities.
Start with one of these presets. Spend some time listening critically to your on-air
sound. Listen to a wide range of program material typical of your format and listen
on several types of radios (not just on your studio monitors). Then, if you wish, cus-
tomize your sound using the information in the Protection Limiter, Two-Band and
Five-Band sections that follow.
Each Orban factory preset has full
L
ESS
-M
ORE
capability. The table below shows the
presets, including the source presets from which they were taken and the nominal
L
ESS
-M
ORE
setting of each preset. Of the Five-Band presets, several appear several
times under different names because we felt that these presets were appropriate for
more than one format; these can be identified by the shared source preset name.
Many of the presets come in several “flavors,” like “dense,” “medium,” and “open.”
These refer to the density produced by the processing. “Open” uses a slow multi-
band release time “Medium” uses a medium-slow release, and “Dense” uses medi-
um-fast. A fast release is only used in the NEWS-TALK and SPORTS presets.
Important! Factory preset names are
only suggestions
. Feel free to audition different
presets and to choose the one whose sound you prefer. This preset may have a very
different name than the name of your format. This is OK.
Try using the
L

ORE
control to trade off loudness against processing artifacts
and side effects. Once you have used
L

, save your edited preset as a User
Preset.
Do not be afraid to experiment with presets other than the ones named for your
format if you think these other presets have a more appropriate sound. Also, if you
want to fine-tune the frequency balance of the programming, feel free to enter
B

and make small changes to the Bass, Mid EQ, and HF EQ controls. Un-
like Orban’s 8200, you can make changes in EQ (and stereo enhancement) without
losing the ability to use
L

settings.
Of course,
L

is still available for the unedited preset if you want to go back
to it. There is no way you can erase or otherwise damage the Factory Presets. So,
feel free to experiment.
Presets with “MX” in their names use the 8700i’s new-technology FM peak limit-
er to achieve the highest performance available in the 8700i. MX presets offer
greater transient impact, less preemphasis-induced high frequency loss, and
lower perceived distortion than their 8500-technology counterparts. Achieving
this level of performance requires the MX presets to have much longer delays
(typically 265 milliseconds) than the 8500-style presets. This is too long to permit
live off-air monitoring into talent headphones. This is the main reason why the
8700i offers 8500-style presets too—these presets have much lower delays than
do their MX counterparts.
