Moseley SL9003Q 602-12016 Revision G
1.2 System Features
In addition to establishing a new industry standard for studio-transmitter link
performance, the SL9003Q incorporates many new and innovative features, including:
• Linear 16 bit digital audio performance.
• Higher system gain, 26 dB more than analog composite STL.
• Degradation-free multiple hops.
• Configurable for up to 4 linear audio program channels per STL system.
• No crosstalk between channels.
• No background chatter from co-channel or adjacent-channel interference.
• Built-in AES/EBU digital audio interface.
• Operation through fractional T1 networks.
• Composite response to 0.1 Hz for improved processing loudness.
• Highest stereo separation and SNR achievable in a composite STL.
• Built-in data channels alleviate the need for FM subcarrier data channels.
• Extensive LCD screen status monitoring.
• Peak-reading LED bar graph display for all audio channels.
• Adjustable bit error rate threshold indication for monitoring transmission quality.
• Important status functions implemented with bi-color LED indicators.
• Modular construction that provides excellent shielding, high reliability, easy servicing,
and upgrade capability
• Selectable RF spectral efficiency.
• Sample rate converter (SRC) for digital audio operation from 30 to 50 kHz.
