If they do not, re-strap jumpers JB and JC to "peak." (Refer to Figure 2-5.)
The 8200ST is now producing a 400Hz sine wave at each output. The peak
level of this tone corresponds to 100% modulation.
Adjust the

The L OUT and R OUT controls are now correctly calibrated to the trans-
mitter. If no significant overshoot occurs in the transmitter, the
MODULATION meter will now give an accurate indication of peak modula-
tion of the STL.
Turn off the tone by pressing the

If the STL transmitter suffers from bounce or overshoot, you may have to
reduce the L OUT and R OUT control settings to avoid peak over-
modulation caused by overshoots on certain audio signals.
4. Set controls for normal operation with program material.
The following assumes that a VU meter is used to determine 8200ST line
drive levels with program material.
Set controls as follows:

Feed the 8200ST either with tone at your system reference level (0VU), or with
typical program material at normal levels.
