General Audio Specifications

Frequency Response: Complies with the standard 50 or 75 microsecond pre-emphasis curve within ± 0.5 dB, 30 Hz to 15 kHz. The analog left/right outputs and AES/EBU Digital outputs can be configured for flat or pre-emphasized output.

*Signal-Noise Ratio: > -80 dB de-emphasized, 20 Hz – 15 kHz bandwidth, referenced to 100% modulation).

*The measured noise floor will depend upon the settings of the Input and Output Gain controls and is primarily governed by dynamic range of the Crystal Semiconductor CS5361 A/D Converter which is specified as >110 dB. The dynamic range of the internal digital signal processing chain is >144 dB.

Stereo Separation: Greater than 65 dB, 20 Hz – 15 kHz; 70 dB typical.

38 kHz Suppression: > 70 dB (referenced to 100% modulation).

76 kHz Suppression: > 80 dB (referenced to 100% modulation).

Pilot Protection: > -65 dB relative to 9% pilot injection, ± 1 kHz.

57 kHz (RDS/RBDS) Protection: better than -50 dB.
