Orban Trio-AM - Broadcast Audio Processor for AM Radio

With OPTIMOD Trio you get three audio processors in one box and you decide which one to use. Following OPTIMOD 5950 and OPTIMOD 5750, the OPTIMOD Trio is the third in line of Orban’s new generation of audio processors. Compact in its design but big in functionality: OPTIMOD Trio can be configured as AM Audio Processor, as FM Audio Processor or alternatively as HD Radio/DAB+/Streaming Audio Processor. In the HD Mode, Trio is even suitable for TV audio processing. No matter if you need to have a flexible backup unit, your requirements for an audio processor might change or if you simply want your audio to sound the best it can, OPTIMOD Trio does the job.

AM Operating Mode: With OPTIMOD Trio you can achieve excellent quality in AM shortwave, medium wave and long wave broadcast sound. It increases the density and loudness of the program material by Orban’s proprietary multiband limiting and multiband distortion-canceling clipping, improving the consistency of the station's sound and increasing loudness and definition without producing audible side effects. OPTIMOD Trio compensates for the high frequency rolloffs of typical AM receivers with a fully adjustable program equalizer providing up to 20dB of high-frequency boost (at 5 kHz) without producing the side effects encountered in conventional processors.

Features:

• Factory Presets: Like all OPTIMODs, Trio also comes with a variety of factory presets; Orban’s exclusive “Less-More” control simplifies creating your own signature sound.
• AES67/SMPTE ST-2110: Trio provides an Ethernet network interface for Audio-over-IP connections supporting AES67 and SMPTE ST-2110.
• Remote Control/Monitoring: OPTIMOD Trio can be configured and controlled via any HTML5 web browser. It also supports the SNMP v2 protocol and in a future release Ember+ will be added.
• ITU-R BS.1770-4 Loudness Control facilitates compliance with modern target loudness recommendations like EBU R128.
• Silence Detection: A programmable silence detector is available for the analog, digital and AoIP inputs. It can generate alarms and allows automatic switching to a backup input/input audio storage.
• Streaming Monitor Output: The processed signal can be optionally monitored remotely via IP, allowing processor adjustment in locations where a clean off-air signal is unavailable.
• Internal Storage for Audio Backup: An optional 2 GB Flash Memory provides two hours linear or twelve hours AAC, MP3 or OPUS encoded audio.
• Internet Stream Decoder: This optional feature can be used as a backup audio source received via Audio-over-IP.
• Audience Measurement: An internal Watermarking Encoder can optionally be added (Kantar, Nielsen or IPSOS).
• Dual Power Supplies: OPTIMOD Trio is equipped with monitored dual-redundant power supplies.
