The APC 542 can operate autonomously from the control wheel and OLED screen, but can also be controlled remotely from the Internet. You can create new settings using a simple PC or tablet. It is the only processor that controls and optimizes FM transmission using an internal FM modulation monitor.
The 542 includes a new idea that has revolutionized the market: adding an FM modulation analyzer to your radio's digital signal. Lets you tune to 24 parameters and even check how your radio stations work to make sure your radio is the best in town
The 542 also generates a list of 24 measurements of the over-the-air FM signal that you can send to Solidyne for an accurate diagnosis of any technical problem.
But there is much more, it is the first time that an audio processor and a modulation monitor work together and synchronized under the control of an internal computer. And this opens up a new world that was never within the reach of engineers, even with the best modulation monitors on the market. This is due to the fact that the 542 doesn't just measure transmission; Generate test signals to measure after broadcast without disturbing the audience. This was never feasible before, it is now possible to measure the stereo audio quality of the transmitter assembly + coaxial cable + antenna while the radio is in the air; without suspending the transmission due to "technical adjustments".
You can simply click the mouse and take measurements and generate a report so that your engineer (or Solidyne) can advise you on how to improve your radio.
Now you can know if the channel separation is correct and the sound is good quality by measuring THD harmonic distortion, signal-to-noise ratio, stereo phase vector, RMS power levels etc.
You can check how the 542 APC changes the settings according to the musical themes that are aired (via RDS signal) or goes from the musical settings to the "Announcers" configuration when the console automatically connects the microphones to the air.
You will also receive an email on your phone or PC when any of the technical parameters or human operation cause problems.
You can control EVERYTHING with your radio running 24 hours a day without having to leave the air to take measurements.
