    Why is the audio processor offline on my Nautel VX150 Transmitter?
    • G
      gmillerSep 4, 2025
      If the Nautel Transmitter displays 'Audio Processor Offline', it means either 'No Orban Inside' is installed, or the Exciter isn't detecting the physical connection to the Orban Inside. If no Orban Inside is installed, disable the Orban Inside Present switch in the Front Panel UI Settings -> System menu. Also, check that the cable between the Exciter and Orban Inside is correctly connected.
