Introduction
Introduction
The AirTools 6200 Digital Voice Processor is designed to meet the increas-
ingly sophisticated needs of broadcasters operating in both analog and
digital realms featuring an optimum mix of signal processing modules
and control features. The modules include: highpass, lowpass, and
shelving filters, de-esser, downward expander, comp-limiter/AGC-leveler,
4-band parametric EQ and voice symmetry. The 6200 is a dual-channel
unit with two discrete audio pathways capable of processing microphone
or line-level sources, independently or as a stereo pair with a 24-bit/48
kHz digital signal path. Creation of voice programs and signal process-
ing parameters may be done from the 6200 front panel or from 6200
Designer, a Windows
®
application
(provided). From a PC, the 6200 may be controlled via RS-232, USB or
Ethernet. In lieu of computer control, real time changes of program and
DSP parameters may be actuated via user supplied ESE time code, pots,
encoders, switches, or MIDI devices.

INPUTS:
Nominal Input Level Analog:+4dBuor-10dBVlinelevel,-36dBuor-56dBumiclevel(software
selectable) with 20 dB of headroom
Digital: -20 dBFS: 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 25 Watts maximum.
NOTE:Forunbalancedanaloginput,eitherreference
the minus input terminal to the signal source ground
(pre ferred) or ground the minus input to the adjacent
ground terminal (tie low to ground). Using the second
method deprives you of the common mode rejection
inher ent in a balanced input, even when coming from
an unbalanced source.
Maximum Input Level Analog: +24 dBu
Digital: 0 dBFS
Input Impedance Analog: 20k Ohms, Digital: 110 Ohms, +/- 10
CMRR > 50 dB (0 dBu, 20 Hz to 20 kHz)
Analog to Digital Conversion 24-bit delta/sigma
OUTPUTS:
Nominal Output Level Analog: +4 dBu line level with 20 dB of headroom, Digital: -20 dBFS NOTE:Forunbalancedanalogoutput,float(donot
connect) the minus output terminal. Unbalanced usage
results in 6 dB lower output level.
Maximum Output Level Analog: +24 dBu, Digital: 0 dBFS
