Getting the
Sound You Want
Control
settings for
various
programming
formats
are
given
in Fig. 3-3.
If
you want
to
modify any
control
settings
from
those
recommended,
first
read
"Understanding
More
About Audio
Processing",
since
it
is
important
to
understand
the functions
and
interactions
of
the
audio processing
controls
before attempting
to
customize
them. "Understanding
More
About Audio
Processing" provides
the
most
thorough
discussion
of
the functions
of and
interactions
between
OPTIMOD-TV
controls.
Read
it
if
you
really
want
to
understand
the
operating controls
in
detail.
However,
there
is
no need
to
read
that
section
if
you
will
be
using
the
recommended
control
settings.
Note
that
trade-off's
between
openness,
consistency, loudness, brightness,
and
distortion
are unavoidable. This
is
true
of any
processor.
Best
results will
be
achieved
if
Engineering,
Programming, and
Management com-
municate and
cooperate with each
other.
It is
important
that
Engineering understand
well
the
sound
that
Programming
desires,
and
that
Management
fully
understand
the
trade-offs
involved
in
optimizing
one
parameter (such
as
consistency)
at
the
expense
of
others
(such
as
brightness or
distortion).
Recommended
Settings
for
the Best
Sound
If
your
station
has
a specialized format,
you
may
prefer to
use
one
of
the alternate
settings
given
in Fig. 3-3.
Each
produces
a different
sound
texture,
and each
incor-
porates a
different set
of
trade-offs
between
openness,
consistency, brightness,
and
distortion.
Start
with
one of
these
sets
of
recommended
settings.
Spend
some
time
listening
critically to
your
on-air
sound. Listen
to
a
wide
range
of program
material typical
of your
station,
and
listen
on
a
variety
of
television receivers (not just
on
your
control
room
monitor
loudspeakers).
Then,
if
you wish
to
customize your sound,
read the following section
on
"Understanding
More
About Audio
Processing", since
it
is
important
to
understand
the
functions
and
interactions
of
the
audio processing
controls before
attempting
to
customize them.
