OPTIMOD-AM DIGITAL OPERATION

cause the LESS-MORE control gets you close to an optimum trade-off between loud-
ness and artifacts, so any changes you make are likely to be smaller and to require
resetting fewer controls.
You can change EQ or stereo enhancement and not lose the ability to use L
ESS-
M
ORE. When you create a user preset, the 9300 will automatically save your EQ set-
tings along with your L
ESS-MORE setting. When you recall the user preset, you will
still be able to edit your L
ESS-MORE setting if you wish.
There are actually two sets of L
ESS-MORE tables for each factory preset one opti-
mized for Wideband (7.5 kHz and above) operation, the other for Narrowband (7.0
kHz and below) operation. The table set in use is determined by the low-pass filter
frequency you choose in Setup. These tables were programmed by assuming that
during wideband operation you would use less boost in the HF Equalizer than you
would during narrowband operation.
Full Control
Full Control is the most detailed control level available from the 9300’s front panel.
It allows you to adjust the dynamics section at approximately the level of “full con-
trol” available in Orban’s 9200 processor. These controls are somewhat risky (al-
though not as much as the controls in Advanced Control). Most people will never
have any reason to go beyond Full Control, even if they want to create a “signature
sound” for their station.
Note: Full Control does not provide L
ESS-MORE control. Furthermore,
once you have edited a preset’s multiband dynamics parameters in Full
Control or Advanced Control, L
ESS-MORE control is no longer available in
Basic Control and will be grayed-out if you access its screen. As noted
above, we recommend using the Basic Control L
ESS-MORE control to
achieve a sound as close as possible to your desired sound before you
make further modifications at the Full or Advanced levels.
Advanced Control
If you want to create a signature sound for your station that is far out of the ordi-
nary or if your taste differs from the people who programmed the L
ESS-MORE ta-
bles, Advanced Control is available to you from the 9300 PC Remote software only
(not from the 9300’s front panel). At this level, you can customize or modify any sub-
jective setup control setting to create a sound exactly to your taste. You can then
save the settings in a User Preset and recall it whenever you wish.
Maladjustment of these controls can cause the 9300 to produce unexpected distor-
tion or artifacts only on certain program material, even though it might sound good
on most other material. Placement of a control in the Advanced Control group em-
phasizes the risk of adjusting this control casually.
Compressor attack times and thresholds are available. These controls can be exceed-
ingly dangerous in inexperienced hands, leading you to create presets that sound
