FM10-HD Audio Processor by Vorsis

FM10-HD Audio Processor

The FM10-HD is the successor to the popular FM5. The FM10-HD offers a five band AGC followed by a ten band limiter. The FM signal chain includes pre-emphasis and peak control as well as a reference grade stereo generator. The HD signal chain includes its own specialized peak controller tailored for the codec utilized in FM HD broadcasting.

Vorsis Bass Management System

The Vorsis Bass Management System (VBMS) circumvents bass-related distortion plaguing other broadcast audio processors. It works by monitoring program energy in different parts of the audio spectrum while manipulating the behavior of the final peak limiter. The result is increased bass impact and detail without affecting the clarity of mid and high frequency program — in fact bass detail and the clarity of higher frequency audio are enhanced by the VBMS algorithm.

Smart Stereo Enhancement

Stereo Enhancement is a common feature in audio processors t
oday. However our approach is a new technology we call Smart Stereo Enhancement. It operates in the sum and difference domain and under the management of specialized automatic level and spectral management algorithms. The result is an extremely stable ‘on-air’ stereo image that is wide, alive, exciting to listen to, and yet still natural sounding. End users have reported hearing artistically important nuances in music that were simply inaudible after being processed by competing products.
