Stereoencoder

[djhubbalubba]

Hello

I have plans and buy a stereo encoder to my Max Pro 3.(Tired of mono sound now )
Today, I have a cable between the studio and the transmitter, it's at about 90meter long with RCA plug in the end. I don't have much noise and any another interference, only a bad soundcard.

Will it work fine with a stereoencoder then? (it is boring and buy something that will not work so well)

Maybe it's hard to answer?

I have put a file with this post with a record from my station, so you can hear.

The file --> http://www.dump.no/files/6da61af97242/Untitled3.mp3

And another question:
Today my setup is like this:
Computer -> Mixer -> Limbo 1 -> Back to mixer (amplifies the sound) -> To transmitter

When I set the Limbo with the transmitter, the sound is wery low. Remains: The cable is about 90meters long.( I got to much loss) But when I do it like this: Computer -> Mixer -> Limbo 1 -> Back to mixer (amplifies the sound) -> To transmitter, it works good.

If I buy a stereoencoder, Do I have an extra amplifier? Or have the stereoencoder higher volume than the RCA plug on the transmitter?

Long post
Hope someone can help

I recommend that you get the new SE3000 stereo encoder.

https://www.pcs-electronics.com/product ... -encoders/

Why?

- It has balanced inputs, this way the noise from long cable is mostly eliminated
- It has the compressor part taken from Limbo I (that you seem to like and you should, it is nice)
- Its output volume is high and you will not need the amplifier anymore
- Its got very sharp analog filters, very good stereo separation
- Upgrade path to RDS assured, just plug in RDS daughter board (4000 mini)

Okei
A few more questions:

Can I still use the RCA plugs?

Do I need the Limbo 1 in the studio more?

Is it easy to connect the transmitter? Do I need soldering? ( I hate that )

I think about it. It's sound very nice.

Marko: Please check your mail

1. Yes

2. You don't need limbo anymore

3. Everything is with connectors

4. Yep, its pretty good indeed

And SE3000 is an older version but much cheaper.
And SE5000 DSP+ is the newest version with a lot upgrades.

(if you didn't know)

Okei,
But if I put the limbo with the transmitter the sound is very low.
Have the SE 3000 higher input level?

And:
What cable used to connect and transmitter and stereoencoder together?

[pcs]

You did not read above?
- Its output volume is high and you will not need the amplifier anymore

The connector for output is RCA /Cinch.

[djhubbalubba]

Input level =)
Not output

[pcs]

Important is output level here, it will be ok.

[djhubbalubba]

Ok, then will I trust you
Did you read my mail?

[pcs]

Yes, the answer is in the mail.

[djhubbalubba]

Have this better sound than Limbo 1 compressor?
I want crisp and good sound

And can I get the sound just as high as a commercial station?

Is the cable to connect the st.encoder and transmitter included?

Do you have this available in stock now?

Apologize if I nag, but I want to be sure before I buy

[pcs]

Yep, the sound is good, but to sound like a commercial station I recommend
something like SAM (software).

Cable is not included, but you can get that in every electronics or PC or radio
shop.

SE3000 AN+ is set to enter smd placement this week meaning they would be
shipping around next monday.

SE5000 dsp+ is in stock for immediate shipment, though.

RDSMAX 4000 daughter boards are in stock as well.

SAM broadcasting software is in stock.

[djhubbalubba]

I use SAM alredy

Is it standard RCA cable like we use to transmitter?

I think you have an order from me next week once

[pcs]

Yes, standard rca cable. Do you still have rca on your max pro fm exciter?
If yes, its a no-solder job

[djhubbalubba]

I have not changed anything

But i don't understand how a one cable with one RCA plug can give real stereo signal

[pcs]

Its called MPX. Imagine, it only occupies one "radio channel", not two,
when you transmit in stereo.

[djhubbalubba]

Okei, then I understand a little bit more.

Can this Stereoencoder be placed in the studio, or must it be placed close to transmitter?

[pcs]

Usually close to transmitter

[djhubbalubba]

Okei.
