INSTALLATION ORBAN Model 8400
If you use the low-delay output to drive both your studio monitor speakers and
talent headphones (which may be necessary if your console has only one moni-
tor input for both), we recommend connecting a loss-of-carrier alarm to one of
the 8400’s GPI inputs and programming this input to mute the monitor output
in the event that carrier is lost. This simulates normal “off air” monitor func-
tionality and immediately alerts the staff if the transmitter goes off the air un-
expectedly.
You can program any GPI terminal for Monitor Mute functionality from
Sys-
tem Setup: Network/Remote 1
(the Remote screen). The Out Feeds parameter lo-
cated in the
Input/Output 2 screen needs to be set to Monitor to make the Monitor
Mute feature work.
10. End Analog and Digital I/O setup.
If you are using a studio chassis and you temporarily set the
Studio Chassis to
No in step 1 on page 2-30, set the Studio Chassis to Yes.
When you are finished adjusting input/output parameters, press the Escape
button to return to the Meters screen.
11. Select a processing preset.
This step selects the processing to complement the program format of your sta-
tion.
After this step, you can always select a different processing preset, program
the 8400 to automatically change presets on a time/date schedule, modify pre-
sets to customize your sound, and store these presets as User Presets.
A) Navigate to the Presets screen.
a) Press the control knob to display the pop-up Menu.
b) Turn the knob to highlight Presets, and press the knob.
B) Using the Locate joystick up/down control or turning the control knob, highlight a
preset corresponding to your format. Press
Enter to put the highlighted preset on
the air.
Preset names are just suggestions. Feel free to audition different presets and
to choose the one whose sound you prefer. This preset may have a very dif-
ferent name than the name of your format. This is OK.
You can easily modify a preset with the 8400’s one-knob
Less/More feature.
Navigate to the Basic Modify screen. If you do not see the Less/More screen
immediately, press and hold the
Locate joystick to the right or left until you
find the screen. Turning
Less/More up will produce more loudness but also
more processing artifacts like distortion and unpleasant density. Turning
Less/More down will make the sound cleaner, more open, and easier to listen
to, but will also make it quieter.
