OPERATION ORBAN Model 8400
Customizing the Settings
Each of these presets can be edited with the Less/More control to optimize the trade-off
between loudness and distortion according to the needs of the format. They can be further
edited with Basic, Intermediate or Advanced Modify to fine-tune them.
The controls in the Five-Band structure give you the flexibility to customize your station
sound. Nevertheless, as with any audio processing system, proper adjustment of these
controls requires proper balancing of the trade-offs between loudness, density, and audi-
ble distortion. The following provides the information you need to adjust the Five-Band
structure controls to suit your format, taste, and competitive situation.
The Five-Band Structure’s Full Setup Controls
The tables below summarize the Multiband and Band Mix controls in the dynamics sec-
tion. The AGC, Equalizer, Stereo Enhancer, and Clipper controls are common to both the
Two-Band and Five-Band structures and are discussed in their own sections in Section 3.
