Digital OUTPUT 1 (and 2)
If you are using one of the DIGITAL (AES) OUTPUTS to feed your
transmitter, you can use the output level slider to set the peak level within
range of your modulation.
Also on the digital output is the option to use FLAT or PRE-EMPHASIZED
audio.
If you are feeding a transmitter with a stereo encoder, it is best practice to defeat any pre-emphasis in the
transmitter or stereo encoder and perform pre-emphasis in the 5950 IF the audio path is linear (non
compressed). In some situations where audio needs to pass thru a codec, it is then necessary to send a FLAT
audio signal across.
Please note that there may be a loudness penalty in this situation as the peak control of pre-emphasized
audio in the transmitter or stereo encoder will not be as accurate as it would be in the 5950’s processing.
If you are using a non linear audio path, consider moving the 5950 to the transmitter site if possible. This will
restore the 5950’s peak control at the transmitter point for best peak management of your audio.
You may also use the analog output for the following:
x FM (no HD delay can be applied)
x FM+HD (FM audio after any delay is applied)
x Monitor (A low latency signal to feed talent headphones for an “off air” experience)
