In this case, proper FM clipping must be applied after the coded link where
advanced stereo generation can add an additional dB of loudness with no further

audio degradation.

Some FM broadcasters are transmitting the same audio from two or more tower

sites. In these cases, one primary audio processor can feed a WAN or satellite
distribution system while individual Omnia.9sg’s reside at each transmission site.
