Orban 5950 Technical Manual Operation 3-61
x HF (High Frequency) CLIPPING – Normally set to 0, this control increases brightness at the expense of
intelligent distortion management.
x HF (High Frequency) CLIP THRESHOLD – Sets the threshold of the multiband, distortion cancelled clipper in
the HF limiter.
x 2B (Two Band) CLIPPING – Sets the amount of peak limiting in the clipping system.
x MB (Multiband) LIMIT THRESHOLD – Sets the threshold of the clipping distortion controller with reference to
the final clipper.
x MB (Multiband) SPEECH THRESHOLD – Sets the threshold of the clipping distortion controller for speech
material.
x MAXIMUM DISTORTION CONTROL – Limits the maximum amount of final clipper drive reduction (in dB) that
the clipping distortion controller can apply.
x 2B (Two Band) 6-15 kHz HF LIMITER – Sets the amount of extra gain reduction in the top band of the
multiband high frequency limiter.
x 2B (Two Band) LOOKAHEAD – Sets the delay time of the lookahead 2 band compressor. Higher numbers will
yield more accurate processing.
x MONITOR DRIVE – Sets the drive into the FM clipper in the monitor processor. Lower is cleaner. Allows users
to simulate an FM processing chain for low latency monitoring by talent.
EXTERNAL ENCODER LOOP
The 5950 has a sidechain loop option to place an external ratings encoder INTO THE processing path.
