Specification :

Other than providing FM analog processing only, Optimod-FM 8500FM is identical to Orban' s flagship 8500 and can be easily field-upgraded to full 8500 functionality. The 8500FM builds on the proven, competitive sound of Optimod-FM 8400 version 3 while adding features that make it the ideal choice for analog FM stations, particularly those that may want to upgrade to HD Radio® , Eureka 147, or netcast processing in the future. " Under the hood, " we redesigned all of the circuitry using the latest components. We also doubled the DSP power, so the DSP not only supports the new features but also provides comfortable headroom for future DSP improvements.
The 8500 provides stereo enhancement, equalization, AGC, multiband compression, low-IM peak limiting, stereo encoding, and composite limiting— everything that even the most competitive major market station needs to stand out on the dial.
