"Orban Optimod 6200 DAB Digital Audio Broadcast Processor. excellent condition

The Orban Optimod-DAB 6200 is an audio processor originally designed for Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB), digital television, and webcasting. It combines a preliminary AGC, a versatile equalizer, a multiband compressor, and a low-overshoot look-ahead limiter. These features also make the 6200 a promising candidate for mastering applications in the professional audio industry, such as preparation of equalized, level-controlled, peak limited CD masters."

wow id say that is the biggest no ive ever seen here....

does anyone else have one, ever used one or have any comments? just curious.

Have One ? Yes, In fact I have 25
1 x 6200
7 x 6300
4 x 9200
4 x 9100 (Analogue)
1 x 8200FM
6 x 1101 (PCI Card Version of 6300)
2 x 1201 (PCI 6300 with Opticodec AAC+ Encoder)

Although all are in use for Transmission systems

I can see the application of the 6200 and 6300 for mastering, It is indeed a powerful processor and easy to control via it's PC remote program. The AM and FM ones of course have Pre-emphasis and limiting to suit the transmission medium, the DAB ones are probably the most open.

The 9100 Analogue units are interesting from the Stereo perspective, They are for the now defunct AM-Stereo and used M-S limiting in their Stereo generators that would drive an AM Stereo /C-Quam Exciter as well as 5 band analogue compression, quite fun to play with.
The AM ones also have an interesting compensation for "Plate Tilt" when using Valve Output transmitters.
Basically you drive a TX into a dummy load with a 50Hz Square wave and equalize to get it square on the shoulders, pretty brutal work for a TX especially at 10KW output....
