Space coupler

Auralex Acoustics

Screen 6: Consisting of six Partscience Space Couplers, this system can be placed on hard walls and ceilings to tame early reflections without taking energy out of the room. With a Screen 6 cloud or wall grouping energy from the monitors or the sound being captured is spread out, thereby removing the discrete reflection while keeping the energy's contribution to the room's reverberant tail. Its lightweight assembly affords easy overhead suspension or wall attachment via optional mounting blocks.

When used with the Wizard for Windows software, the analyzer can be viewed remotely with various PC graphing and logging functions. The unit also provides four user assignable relay closures used to indicate alarm conditions. The monitor provides two filtered analog composite outputs for driving wideband analog FM monitors. Besides an antenna input for monitoring off the air, the monitor features two RF inputs for transmitter site operation. The dual RF inputs allow for monitoring at installations using two transmitters to generate the combined analog HD Radio signal. The monitor decodes the HD Radio signal and analog FM signal simultaneously displaying HD Radio status, data, time alignment and configuration information, as well as audio metering and RF/audio spectrums.

Quad leveler

Inovonics

Model 264: This leveler can be operated as two stereo channels or four mono channels with its four separate and independent channels of analog audio gain control. Channels may also be selectively linked for dual-stereo or split mono/stereo program control. The unit operates within the analog domain. It uses a combination of peak and average response to program dynamics that delivers the gain-riding advantage of an intelligent AGC coupled with the tight peak control of a fast limiter. This particular combination of long- and short-term level correction normalizes the average-to-peak ratios of diverse audio sources to a common and natural-sounding value.
