Table 3-1: Factory Programming Presets (Radio)
PROTECTION: The
PROTECTION
presets are designed for stations wanting the high-
est possible fidelity to the source, such as a station broadcasting concert music at night
when its audience is likely to listen in a concentrated and critical way. Refer to “The
Protection Limiter Structure,” on page 3-13, for a full discussion.
2B: The
2B
presets provide an open, easy-to-listen-to sound that is similar to the source
material if the source material is of good quality. These presets are useful for Classical
or “fine arts” programming that demands high fidelity to the original program source.
For a full discussion on setting up and using two-band presets, refer to “The Two-Band
Structure,” page 3-20.
GENERAL: The
GENERAL
presets are a compromise between
ROCK
and
POP
. They
have a gentle bass and treble lift, along with enough presence energy to help vocals to
stand out. These presets are also used for
ADULT CONTMP
(Adult Contemporary) and
COUNTRY
, and are a useful candidate for AOR formats.
