INOVONICS 236 NOVIA AM AUDIO PROCESSOR: DSP 3-BAND MONO AM | ANALOG, AES, STREAMING IN & OUT | NRSC | WEB INTERFACE | SNMP

Features:

• Gated and ‘windowed’ gain-riding AGC
• Unique, adjustable ‘syllabic leveling’
• 3 bands of dynamic compression with selectable crossovers
• 4 sections of parametric EQ plus an effective ‘Bass Punch’ feature
• Independent ‘Density’ and ‘Smooth/Loud’ adjustments
• GPIOs, Web/email/SNMP for controls and alarms
• Built-in real time clock and headphone jack
• Analog, AES-digital, streaming in/outs
• Selectable US and international cutoff filters
• A great ‘utility’ processor; ideal ahead of STLs/codecs
• Full function 'responsive' Web interface works on desktop and mobile devices

 

Specifications:

Frequency Response (processing bypassed)

• 50Hz - 20kHz, ±0.25dB

Output Cutoff Response

• Nominal Frequencies: menu-selectable 4kHz, 5kHz, 6kHz, 7kHz, 8kHz, 9kHz, 10kHz (US NRSC), 12kHz, 15kHz
• Filter Characteristic: 143-coefficient FIR filter with phase and overshoot compensation; ±0.5dB, 50Hz to 0.95x nominal cutoff frequency; approx. –15dB at cutoff; > –50dB at ≥1.04x nominal.

Pre-Emphasis

• Selectable flat, or ‘truncated’ US NRSC preemphasis curve scaled to the cutoff frequency

Distortion (processing bypassed)

• Analog I/O: <0.02% THD (ref: +24dBu I/O)
• AES Digital I/O: <0.002% THD (ref: 0dBFS I/O)

Signal-to-Noise (processing bypassed)

• Analog I/O: >105dB (ref: +24dBu I/O)
• AES Digital I/O: >120dB (ref: 0dBFS I/O)

Program Line Inputs

• Analog: active-balanced (XLR) accepts line levels from –15dBu to +15dBu; +24dBu clipping, impedance 600 ohms source
• AES Digital:(XLR) accepts line levels between -30dBFS and 0dBFS at sampling rates from 32kHz to 96kHz
• IP Streaming: accepts all Icecast/SHOUTcast MP3, Ogg and AAC streams

Program Line Outputs

• Analog: active-balanced (XLR) delivers –12dBu to +15dBu for 100% symmetrical modulation; +24dBu clipping, impedance 600 ohms source

Positive Peak Enhancement

• Intrinsic asymmetrical, positive-going peaks may be selectively limited in 1% steps from 100% to +130%

Program Signal Latency (Delay)

• Approx. 3.75ms

Network Port

• TCP/IP network connection (RJ45) for remote setup/operation and in/out audio streaming; full support for SNMP control

GPIO Ports

• 3 GPI, 3 GPO w/ assignable functions and logic polarity

Headphone Jack

• Front-panel (TRS) 3.5mm

Internal Test Tone Generator

• 20Hz-20kHz; variable frequency and level

Alarms

• Local (GPIO) closures, browser interface, SNMP and SMS/email alarms for analog, digital and stream audio loss; maintains daily, weekly, monthly logs

Scheduler

• Dayparting is simplified with an onboard real-time clock and preset-selection programming.

Audio Processing

• AGC: ±15dB capture range; gated with dual-rate‘windowed’ operation
• Leveling: variable ‘syllabic’ 2:1 compression
• EQ: 4-section parametric
• Bass ‘Punch’: variable bass enhancement

Power Requirement

• 12VDC at 240mA (2.1mm x 5.5mm coaxial); inline switchmode power supply included

Mounting Options

• An optional rack adapter mounts one or two NOVIA or other Inovonics half-rack units in a standard 19- inch, 1U rack space.

Size and Weight

• 1.6”H x 8”W x 6”D; 5 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.
