dynamics and transients audibly.
With television broadcasts varying volume levels can cause problems: Announcements, jingles, dialog and
background music can differ strongly in level. Here too the ULTRAMIZERPRO can level out these differences
in the program material and can thus provide a constant volume. Moderate use of the Compressor, Peak
Limiter, Super Bass and Exciter section of the ULTRAMIZERPRO will help to achieve high and distortion-free
nominal volumes without loss of liveliness.
3.5.1 AM/TV broadcasting
AM broadcast has clearly limited transmission bandwidth and relatively limited dynamics. The goal is to limit
the signal dynamics in such a way that the transmitted power is as constant as possible. The ULTRAMIZERPRO
permit the optimal use of the individual frequency bands continuously to optimize, in order to use the band-
width limited anyway and the signal-to-noise ratio permanently, close at the maximum. FM broadcast is more
sensitive to signal processing due to the larger bandwidth and dynamics . Most commercial transmitters want
to transmit with the highest obtainable average level and use a multiplicity of signal processors to achieve this.
This despite the effects on the quality of the program material.
If a limiter with active pre-emphasis is used, the ULTRAMIZERPRO should be placed directly before it. That
way the transmitters subsequent limiter is limits the signal less resulting in an improved overall sound. As TV
sound is usually also transferred in FM, the same goes for processing TV sound.
3.5.1 Telephone lines and wireless systems
The ULTRAMIZERPRO can dramatically improve the signal to noise ratio of telephone lines and wireless
systems while at the same time guarding subsequent devices against overload. They produce an even modu-
lation level and constantly keep the signal peaks under check. The studio can maximize the level without fear
of overloading.

Fig. 3.3: Inserting the ULTRAMIZERPRO in single channels and sub-groups
You can also insert the ULTRAMIZERPRO in single channels, sub-groups as well as the main mix channels.
Use the first two options when you want to process individual signals or group of signals. This way you can
process only the microphones or the DJ.
