SYNC-OUT
OUTPUT
This TTL-level (5Vpp) 19 kHz square wave output can be used as the reference signal
for any SCA generator that operates at 57 kHz or other multiple of the 19 kHz pilot
frequency. Using the 19 kHz clock from the Shark makes it much easier to phase lock
the
external signal to the pilot frequency. This is extremely helpful in order to remove
intermodulation components. For RDS coders, this feature is also very useful.
The Sync Output is disabled
by default (see par. Output Sync in the MPX menu).

SECONDARY MPX
‘OUTPUT’
(MPX 2)
It replicates, through an indipendent ‘buffer’, the same MPX signal available on
MPX Output 1. Proper load impedance is 50 Ohms.
7
MAIN ‘OUTPUT’
(MPX 1)
This is the Main MPX and/or RBDS/RDS (with or without signals injected from Aux 1
and 2 mixed into). You can adjust the overall
output level through the menu (MPX
Level control in the MPX MODULE SETUP page) in the – 9 dBm to +15dBm range.
Factory preset: 0 dBm (2.2 Vpp). This output can provide a reference tone consisting
of a 500 Hz / 0 dBm sinusoidal signal. This tone corresponds to the maximum
frequency deviation. To enable it, see Peak Ref Tone in MPX Module Setup / Output
Mode menu.

AUXILIARY INPUT
‘AUX IN 1-MPX’
The AUX-1
inputs allow the Mpx, SCA, RDS injection from external coders. The
resultant signal (f.i. external RDS+ auto-generated MPX) is available on the Output
connector. The level of the injected signal may be adjusted by means of the trimmer
next to the corresponding BNC connector (no software control is provided
In the RDS-only version, You may use this input to inject an external MPX signal
or a Pilot tone 19 KHz as a reference for RDS generation.
for this
purpose). This trimmer is factory preset for a gain of 0 dB.
To enable this input, see MPX block Diagram and Jumper J3 setting.
NOTE: When using an external RDS encoder, the internal RDS one must be
disabled. Suggested RDS injection level is -31.5 dBm (≈ 60mVpp / 2.0 kHz deviation)
in relation to an MPX output of 0 dBm
AUX Input impedance is 10 KOhm. This is the input for

AUXILIARY INPUT
‘AUX IN 2-RDS’
The AUX-2 inputs allow the
SCA, RDS injection from external coders. The resultant
signal (f.i. external RDS+ auto-generated MPX) is available on the Output connector.
The level of the injected signal may be adjusted by means of the trimmer next to the
corresponding BNC connector (no software control is provided for this purpose). This
trimmer is factory preset for a gain of 0 dB. In the RDS-only version, You may use
this input to inject an external MPX signal or a Pilot tone 19 KHz as a reference
for RDS generation. To enable this input, see MPX block Diagram and Jumper
J3 setting. NOTE: When using an external RDS encoder, the internal RDS one
must be disabled. Suggested RDS injection level is -31.5 dBm (≈ 60mVpp / 2.0 kHz
deviation) in relation to an MPX output of 0 dBm
AUX-2 Input impedance is 10 KOhm.

ANALOG AUDIO
INPUT
Balanced XLR-type connectors are used for input analog audio.
The stereo analog inputs are designed for standard 0 dBu balanced signals. Individual
channel gain and level setting is done using the software parameter settings (see
INPUT CALIBRATION menu). In case of unbalanced connections, please connect the
cold pole (Pin 3) to the ground (Pin 1).
Factory preset input impedance is 10 kOhm.
This impedance may also be set to 600Ohm by moving the two internal jumpers on
the INPUT board (see Chapter 17- hardware settings).
