AUDIO PROCESSOR SWITCH
Selects one of the two modes available.
LIMIT MODE
The audio processor has little effect on low level sound. As the level increases, reaching
the point at which the red +6 LED lights, no further increase in transmitted level is
permitted. This is necessary to prevent distortion in receivers and prevent interference
with other channels. Limit produces a very natural sound, and is most desirable for
music. High quality speech signals are also very pleasant to listen to. However, Limit is
not as helpful for hearing impaired individuals as Compress mode.
COMPRESS MODE
At high levels, 0 to +6, Compress is very similar to Limit. But at low levels Compress
increases the volume substantially. Hearing impaired people need an increase in low
level to be able to hear most speech.
Compress is most useful for hearing impaired individuals and in those situations where
the input signal is either poorly controlled or has great dynamic range.
PHONES
The phones jack monitors the transmitted audio signal. It is designed to accommodate
standard professional headphones with a 1/4 inch plug. It can also accept any other type of
headphone or earphone. Headphones with 3.5 mm plugs can be used with a 1/4 inch to
3.5 mm adapter.
IR LED
Infrared receivers can be tested using the infrared LED. This LED is of short range only,
useful to about 1 meter. The infrared signal emitted from this LED is modulated by the
carriers generated in this unit only. If this modulator is connected to other modulators for
additional channels, their carriers are not emitted by the LED, and must be monitored at
those modulators.
MOD 111 REAR PANEL
AUDIO INPUT
The MOD 111’s input accepts any low impedance microphone or line level signal. The input
circuit is constructed with a “studio grade” differential amplifier, providing better
performance than that available using a transformer. It is also fully protected from RFI/EMI.
MICROPHONE
Any dynamic, ribbon, or condenser microphone equipped with a balanced output and a
3 pin XLR connector can be used. Power is supplied for condenser microphones
according to DIN 45596. It need not be turned off for dynamic or ribbon mics.
Microphones with two conductor 1/4 inch plugs are not usable.
The minimum acceptable level is approximately 100 µV, and the maximum level before
clipping is approximately 90 mV.
