  • Page 10: Notices

    Notices To Ensure Proper Operation: DO NOT expose this unit to rain or moisture. ONLY Nielsen Audio authorized service personnel shall gain access to the inside of the Encoder. DO NOT disconnect the earth ground from the power cord since this is a very important safety feature. The Encoder should be mounted securely in a rack. The sides must be free of obstructions to provide adequate airflow through the instrument.

    (AES/EBU) audio chain using industry standard XLR or BNC connectors. The Nielsen Audio Encoder listed on the title page of this manual has been designed to meet the requirements of the European Union's directive 2002/95/EC, commonly known as RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) Compliance.

  • Page 12: Suggested Placement In Audio Chain

    In AM radio stations, Nielsen Audio recommends that the Encoder is installed after the final audio processor (i.e. Orban Optimod, Telos Systems’ Omnia, or others) to take advantage of the more consistent audio leveling found at this point in the broadcast chain.

  • Page 13: Installation

    1. Place the SGE into a 19” rack in an indoor climate controlled environment. Nielsen Audio recommends allowing ½” of rack space above and below the Encoder to allow for adequate ventilation and reduce the chances of overheating.
