What is a “Perfect Audio Level™” processor? What does it do for my station?
A D.Co “Perfect Audio Level”™ processor ensures that you have just that at all times – perfect audio levels!
In both master control and production environments audio variances exist so what do you do? Most studio's have an audio engineer who “rides the mixer” ensuring that levels stay within a range at all times. The PAL-AS works the same as your operator yet does so 24/7/365 thus providing an excellent solution for studio control and master control.
Don’t make the mistake of using a typical “Limiter/Gate” which only clips off loud audio and mutes silence to avoid noise -- that simply doesn't cut it. The “Perfect Audio Level” processor is far superior as it maintains consistent broadcast levels regardless the input source.
We most commonly ship the unit pre-configured with 2 stereo channels suggesting 1 processor is used for all ingested content to ensure your entire library is at proper levels and the other for program audio to air from all sources at all times. The system can be expanded to handle up to 9 stereo channels and we also offer solutions for 5.1 whether AES, embedded SDI, and/or HighDef.
In order to have professional broadcast audio levels you need a PAL, it’s like a friend who keeps the levels perfect for you and works for free. So get a PAL processor and your station will maintain stable broadcast professional audio levels.

Here are more specifics:
The PAL-AS corrects audio level changes throughout a range of more than 30dB.
PAL-AS operates as 2 separate mono audio level controllers. A jumper circuit board sets the PAL-AS to stereo mode, or as two independent mono processors. (For digital multichannel applications such as 5.1 see the PAL-AES, PAL-SDI, or PAL-HDS)
Please note that the MC1-9 frame is not compatible with the SDI and/or HDS models.
A discreet level control process prevents "ducking" of background audio such as when guns fire or a door slams, and background sounds are prevented from becoming louder when foreground speech stops.
The Multi-band control system avoids "pumping" the audio to prevent audio artifacts from being created. This allows the PAL-AS to control the audio levels without adding a sound of its own. The professional noise gates freeze the audio level when the audio subsides to prevent the "Inrush" of noise when the program is quiet.

Dual L.E.D.’s indicate the amount of gain or limiting for each channel. A separate L.E.D. displays each gate status. The PAL-AS processor controls stereo audio input variations over a 32 dB range while maintaining the output level within 0.5 dB.
The compatibility level is field adjustable by jumpers on the board. The level can be set for a balanced output of -4, 0, +4 dBm or for -10 dBm unbalanced output.
The PAL-AS provides broadcast quality, professional grade, automatic audio levels, with a price and quality conscious broadcast professional in mind.
The MC1-9 mainframe chassis accommodates up to 9 boards in 3 "RU" (rack unit) spaces.

The “Perfect Audio Level” processor stabilizes audio volume level by adjusting gain so that the output remains constant when the input level varies wildly. And at a fraction of the price of the competition!
