The OPTIMOD-FM 8500S Digital Audio Processor
Orban's all-digital 8500S OPTIMOD-FM Audio Processor can help you achieve the
highest audio quality in FM stereo broadcasting. Because all processing is performed
by high-speed mathematical calculations within Freescale 24-bit digital signal proc-
essing chips, the processing has cleanliness, quality, and stability over time and tem-
perature that is unmatched by analog processors.
OPTIMOD-FM 8500S is descended from the industry-standard OPTIMOD-FM audio
processors. Thousands of these processors are on the air all over the world. They
have proven that the "OPTIMOD sound" attracts and keeps an audience even in the
most competitive commercial environment.
Because OPTIMOD-FM incorporates several audio processing innovations
exclusive to Orban products, you should not assume that it can be operated
in the same way as less sophisticated processors. If you do, you may get
disappointing results.
Take a little time now to familiarize yourself with OPTIMOD-FM. A small investment
of your time now will yield large dividends in audio quality.
