FM Conditioner

Overview

The FM Conditioner Channel Strip - Stereo is a Processor for stereo program processing with a special FM conditioning stage for preparing the audio signal for FM broadcast. It combines input measurement, input conditioning, fail-over handling, phase rotation, de-essing, spectral processing, equalization, dynamics processing, loudness control, FM conditioning, output conditioning, and measurement.

The Processor is intended for stereo broadcast workflows that require a complete program processing chain including FM-oriented signal conditioning. The Processor is for pre-conditioning only and does not replace the functionality of a stereo coder.

Please see the FM Conditioner Module description for detailed setup instructions.

Typical Applications

Typical applications include:

  • Stereo FM program processing

  • Spectral program shaping

  • Program fail-over workflows

  • De-essing and phase optimization

  • Loudness-controlled stereo output processing

  • Generation of program and monitor outputs

Included Modules

The Stereo version includes the following processing and measurement stages:

  • Loudness Measurement

  • Input Conditioner

  • Fail Over

  • Phase Rotator

  • De-Esser

  • Spectral Signature

  • Equalizer

  • Expander

  • Compressor

  • Level Magic

  • FM Conditioner

  • Output Conditioner

The signal flow includes input measurement and conditioning for two stereo sources, fail-over selection, phase rotation, de-essing, spectral signature processing, equalization, expansion, compression, loudness control, FM conditioning, output conditioning, and output measurement.
