How important is your audio processor?  Did you know it’s one thing that stands between goodness and your station being taken off the air by the ACMA?

This Technorama Tuesday’s webinar will tell you why,  show you the simple things you can do to make your sound processing perfect, and prevent your licence being put at risk.

We will be looking at Station Audio Processing using software or hardware boxes; what is 100% modulation or 75kHz deviation? How does it affect your licence?

Do you need your processor at the transmitter site or at the studio, is there an advantage or not. What is MPX, AES192 and MicroMPX?

Join panelists as they discuss Audio Processing with host Stephen Wilkinson

Meet the Panelists

    • Paul Thompson: a Principal IT/OT Systems Engineer from TCOM
    • Richard Goodridge: Technology Director NSW/ACT from ARN
    • Stephen Wilkinson: Technical Operations Manager at Hope Media, and Vice-president of Technorama.

What the panel will cover

  • They will discuss audio processing for small to medium size community stations from a real-world perspective and discover what and how commercial stations do it.
  • Can any audio processor be used or must it be an FM processor and why?
  • Are there advantages using software-based FM audio processing over using hardware units?
  • Does the processor need to be at the transmitter site or at the studio?
  • Learn what the Australian specifications are for FM stereo generation, including RDS.
  • There’ll be discussion on where to start with calibrating an FM processor and how you go about finetuning it.
  • Looking at current and future methods of delivering processed audio to your transmitter, from simple STL to IP options.
  • Opportunity to ask questions at the end.
