2.2.2 Digital audio connections

2.2.2.1 AES-3

The processor includes an AES-3 input and output. When

using the digital input, it is also convenient to connect

the analog inputs. If the signal is lost at the main input,

the   processor   automatically   switches  to   another  input

that has a signal. The default entry is selected from the

"Inputs" menu, as explained below.

S/PDIF:

  A S/PDIF signal can be connected to

AES-3 by using an S/PDIF-to-AES3 adapter. The

figure shows a compact adapter with XLR  and

BNC connectors.

The  AES-3 output is balanced,

 

using a male  XLR.  The

connections are the following:

2.2.2.2 Incoming streaming port (optional)

The port "Ethernet AoIP" 

-

11

 

 allows receiving an incom-

ing digital audio streaming, used for transporting audio

from Studios to Transmitting Plant. See 

"2.8 - AoIP Con-

nection".  

RTP   and   Shoutcast/Icecast   servers   are   sup-

ported.

From Studios, the RTP streaming can be encoded using

mixing   consoles

 

Solidyne   DX816,  series   2600,   series

UNIDEX or the Solidyne ADA102 link. Equipment of others

brands also can be used.  

For details please see “SECC-

TION 5 – Models with the optional AoIP” 

2.3 MPX outputs

The 542APC features 

dual MPX output

 -

12

 

, with indepen-

dent level adjustment.

The output connectors are BNC type. 75-ohm coaxial ca-

ble (RG59 standard on CCTV) can be used for the con-

nection. The length of this cable should be kept less than

25 meters.

When entering the transmitter via MPX, make sure that

the internal pre-emphasis network of the transmitter is

switched off (flat response 20 - 100 kHz). The pre-em-

phasis on 542APC is fixed at 50 or 75 microseconds.

It is very important to have a good design of ground

connections. In case of doubt, contact Solidyne describ-

ing the equipment and the connection diagram used.

2.4 FM antenna

The internal receiver allows you to tune the transmis-

sion of any station and view the modulation level, audio

levels,   RDS  data  and   other   transmission  issues  (see

“3.9 FM analyzer monitor”).

The BNC connector labeled 

"Receiver FM ant"

 -

13

  

pro-

vides connection to the antenna of the internal FM re-

ceiver. From factory two antennas are provided: 

Telescopic mini-antenna:

 Is used for the most of sit-

uations. 

BNC micro-antenna: 

When the RF field intensity is too 

high, the gain of telescopic antenna can cause the 

saturation of the receiver. The indicator RF LVL (FM 

Monitor Analyzer) is stuck at the maximum value  100

dBuV.  In this case, use the BNC-terminal.

Depending on the installing conditions (location of the

equipment, distance to the transmitting plant, etc.), a

wired antenna (not supplied) installed outside the build-

ing may be necessary.

2.5 IP remote control

The  

ETHERNET port

  -

11

   

allows the connection of the

542APC to a LAN to access the WEB Control Panel. The

network router assigns an IP address to the processor

(DHCP).   This   IP   allows   access   to   the   internal   web

pages of the processor, using a computer connected to

the same LAN and  a  WEB browser  (Google Chrome is

recommended).

For details on use see 

“3.4 – Remote control via web”
