Multimode Audio Processor
The 223 is an audio processing powerhouse in a deceptively small package. Its versatile DSP-based design is user-programmable to serve multiple broadcast applications - NRSC, AM, FM, SCA, TIS.
The 223´s parametric equalizer offers continuous control over the audio signal's frequency content with 3 bands of dynamic compression and selectable crossovers.
The unit addresses the needs of NRSC-compliant AM broadcasting with a range of cutoff frequencies, TIS (Traveler’s Information Service) advisories, monaural LPFM transmission, and analogue SCA subcarriers. A full-range ‘Studio’ mode satisfies mic processing and general production needs.
Features
- Ideal for: STUDIO, US/NRSC AM, Worldwide AM, Shortwave, US/Euro Monaural FM, TIS, and analog SCA
- Easy menu / jog-wheel setup from the front panel
- Performs AGC, 3-Band Compression, Peak Control, and Output Filtering specific to the selected application
- User-adjustable compression, EQ, limiting, and program density
- DSP ‘lookahead’ limiting offers tight peak control without clipping
- USB connector enables fast firmware updates in the field
- Headphone jack
The INOmini 223 features gated and windowed gain-riding AGC, 3 bands of adjustable dynamic range compression with selectable crossovers and variable EQ, and tight ‘lookahead’ peak control. Pre-emphasis, with its own protection limiting, and overshoot-controlled output filtering are individually and specifically tailored to the service selected.
"The INOmini 223 allows a station to reap the rewards of today’s digital technology thanks to this feature-rich, budget-friendly processor."
Specifications
Operating Modes
- NRSC-compliant asymmetrical AM processing with 10kHz, 9kHz, 7kHz, and 5kHz (9-pole Cauer)cutoffs
- TIS asymmetrical AM processing with 5kHz (9-pole Cauer) cutoff
- FM processing (monaural) with 75μs/50μs pre-emphasis and 15kHz (7-pole Cauer) cutoff.
- SCA processing with smooth 5kHz (6th order Butterworth) cutoff
- Frequency Response
- 20Hz – 20kHz, ±0.1dB in PROOF and Studio modes; all specialized applications conform to specified cutoff characteristics.
Distortion
0.02% THD in PROOF mode.
Signal-to-Noise
Better than 72dB below the limited ceiling level measured through an appropriate de-emphasis network.
Program Line Input
Active-balanced (XLR) analog input, accepts nominal line levels between –20dBu and +20dBu.
Program Line Output
Active-balanced (XLR) delivers output levels between –15dBu and +12dBu corresponding to 100% modulation; 200-ohm resistive source. A switch under the top cover inserts a 20dB pad in the output for transmitters requiring a low-level input.
Latency
3.5ms – 4.5ms, depending on the selected application.
Headphone Jack
Front-panel (TRS) 3.5mm.
USB Port
Front-panel connection for firmware updates.
Metering
Input / Output / AGC Gain / Compression / Limiting
Alarms
Flashing front panel indication of audio loss and AGC out-of-range.
Power Requirement
12VDC at 200mA (2.1mm x 5.5mm coaxial); inline switchmode power supply included.
Mounting Options
An optional rack adapter mounts one, two, or three INOmini format units in a standard 19-inch, 1U rack space.
Size and Weight
1.6”H x 5.5”W x 5.5”D 4 lbs. shipping weight
Environmental
Continuous operation at ambient temperatures between 32ºF/0ºC and 122ºF/50ºC; 0-95% relative humidity, non-condensing, altitudes to 10,000ft/3,048m.
