The SG-192 is the first standalone FM stereo generator capable of passing full AES MPX composite baseband to the exciter, including RDS and SCA up to 67kHz, and is equipped with an intelligent stereo multipath controller which helps mitigate the effects of multipath-induced receiver blending. It offers an exclusive stereo multipath controller, which helps mitigate the effects of multipath-induced stereo receiver blending in the absence of clean reception. Audio interfaces for the exciter include the legacy composite analog signal (2 separate outputs are available) or Wheatstone’s baseband192 AES digital composite baseband option for compatible exciters. A dedicated 10MHz synchronizing input is useful for single frequency networks, translators, and repeater applications.

The SG-192 is equipped with Wheatstone’s baseband192 technology, the only digital MPX technology that digitally samples the composite baseband at 192kHz in order to include the FM composite signal as well as RDS and SCA subcarriers up to 67kHz. Digitally adding RDS and SCA signals to the digital composite baseband eliminates the noise problems created by analog technology, which translates to a lower noise floor and less crosstalk between subcarriers.

The new SG-192 can be added at the studio or the transmitter site, depending on the STL in use, and comes with highly oversampled, low distortion composite clipping. A crisp front panel OLED display makes adjustments easy and the front panel headphone output allows confidence monitoring of the stereo generator’s input signals.
