rmkrause Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Does any one know if compressors and limiters are really necessary to go along with FM transmitters such as an EDM-TX-LCD? Hate to sound stupid but we are just getting into this game. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-klb- Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 A large number of people run shows without any of that hardware.. Some people do tweak the audio in audacity for similar effects, but others do nothing more than adjust amplitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taybrynn Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Shot answer: you don't need them to sound good.I can especially speak for the EDM LCD, which sounds quite goodas is.That said, I do use the Behringer DSP1424P and find it enhances thesound even further, but considering the cost and additionalcomplexity of hookup ... its only worth it if you the perfectionisttype. And the unit is fairly complex to configure . You getting animprovement, but its kind like getting a K&H air filter to gain the extra7% of horsepower ...95% of all folks would be quite happy without it.Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrypowerz Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 One thing I recently found out about the Behringer DSP1424P is that it does introduce about a 30us delay to the music... something to keep in mind if things seems a tad out of sync with it in line.Hope this helps someone!

taybrynn Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 How did you figure that out?I never noticed any delay, but it could depend on the settings used.I actually didn't use any compression. I like the volume maximizer portionbest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original sig on input 1, processed sig on input 2, expand the time base and measure the diff!Delays are commonly used to achieve time alignment when drivers are not equal distances from the listener to put them in the "sweet spot". (good use)In pro audio however these signal processing delays can be a catastrophe if not taken in to account when designing your signal path. Anytime you have digital signal processing the potential for time delay is present. It is a matter of planning for them.The old analog equipment didn't suffer from these delays for the most part BTW! :shock:I am not knocking the unit, just pointing out that you may want to adjust your sequences slightly to account for it if you want to try to be dead on. To some folks it is just that important... :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use audacity to compress a but, Makes it seem louder when broadcasting in the fcc limits.EDIT: I will say i myself don't know much technical about all of this stuff, what i did in audacity just made it seem louder, it could just be my imagination.
