FM/LPFM Audio Processor
Model: FM-55
- Multiband adaptive iAGC
- Newly developed Bass Management System
- Exclusive stereo multipath controller technology for enhanced stereo reception
- Baseband192 built in for composite digital link to transmitter
- FM peak control via oversampled distortion masked clipper
Unique among processors, the FM-55 includes new intelligent five-band AGC technology — or iAGC — coupled to a five-band limiter and stereo generator. The combination provides automatic and superior real-time program density control for a consistent, spectrally-balanced sound regardless of density variations in incoming source material.
Other features of the FM-55 include our five-band stereo enhancement and program adaptive L-R control for multipath mitigation.
The FM-55 fully supports the WheatNet-IP Intelligent Network, and is equipped with two analog composite outputs, two SCA inputs, balanced analog Left/Right outputs and an AES digital output which may be switched to deliver either discrete Left/Right or baseband192 digital multiplex signal. Input audio with automatic source failover may be delivered via analog, AES and WheatNet-IP.
The composite output signal is available as traditional analog via twin rear panel BNC connectors and simultaneously as Wheatstone’s baseband192 digital multiplex technology.
The FM-55’s Bass Management System is also new and circumvents bass-related distortion plaguing other broadcast audio processors. The result is increased depth, feel, and clarity of bass impact without affecting mid and high frequency program -- in fact bass detail and the clarity of higher frequency audio are actually enhanced by the new algorithm.
I/O compatibility makes it possible to control the FM-55 and stream its audio to and from anywhere in the IP audio network, making it 100% compatible with WheatNet-IP surfaces and controllers.
