Get your station sounding nice.
This is all you need to get your sounding nice and loud without over modulating
Multicom pro xl mdx4600 the multi compressor.
Ultragraph pro FBQ 1502
Ultragraph pro FBQ 3102
How we have it set up!
From mixer into channel 1 and 2 of the mdx4600 multi compressor into Ultragraph pro FBQ 1502 equalizer then back into the mdx4600 multi compressor using channel 3 and 4 for a second round of audio compression.
Then we finalize it by using a Ultragraph FBQ 3102 to get everything to sound nice

thewiseprankster is on the money again!
This kind of set-up is fine for non-broadcast sound re-inforcement, but for broadcast use you need something that properly controls the peaks. Also an early AGC stage - has your setup got that? Also it is strongly advisable to do processing and stereo encoding in one box - better, louder results.

I agree with thewisepranker on this. You don't need all that at allthewisepranker wrote:I don't agree!radioman wrote:This is all you need to get your sounding nice and loud without over modulating

Re: Get your station sounding nice.
I think you're missing the point - no amount of EQ and PA compression/limiting will prevent overmodulation.

Re: Get your station sounding nice.
I need to get some kind of audio compression maybe stereo encoding, but love the sound of mono, plus reduces the hiss over distance

Re: Get your station sounding nice.
You can process your audio without being in stereo.

Re: Get your station sounding nice.
In the PA world it is very very rare that you would use graphic EQ to boost anything, ever - “cut, not boost” is the mantra! The only way a graphic EQ would be used like that is if it were controlling the sidechain input of a compressor. Aside from the audio having to go through all that Behringer (I have nothing against Behringer, I use their DCX2496 all the time), it's never going to control overmodulation, for that you'll need a brickwall limiter.

Re: Get your station sounding nice.
Had a read up on this compressor, seems to have have the ability to act as a brickwall limiter, so I might be wrong. Maybe I'm also wrong on how to control overmodulation too?! Fuck it. #everybodyknowsFBkeysonlycameoutinthe90s

Re: Get your station sounding nice.
Even if it does have a brickwall limiter it will not sound as loud/nice as a unit that does stereo encoding and limiting in one box. The one-box approach allows distortion-cancelling and removes ringing caused by 15kHz filters.
I previously thought the impact of two box approach was minimal until I tried it using a software processor (audio only) and the limiter in a BW TX50 - substantially quieter than I thought it would be. Thus now I always advise processing and MPX in one box (be that hardware or software solution).
