MAIN DESCRIPTION

Falcon XT is a Digital Audio Processor, a Stereo Generator and an RDS encoder, all in a single device, specifically

designed for the market of broadcast FM radio, Web Radio and Satellite.

The Falcon XT audio processor is based on DSP dedicated technology, with a 5-band audio processing architecture.

The Stereo Generator is fully digital, and can create a perfect Multiplex signal. Falcon XT, can be completed with a RDS

Encoder also fully digital DSP-based. Falcon XT allows to create your own soundprint, unique and unmistakable.

Be recognized today in the crowded world of broadcasters in FM, DVB-T or in the boundless world of the web has now

become very complicated, in a market where competition does not forgive mistakes. If the broadcaster does not want to

have the same soundprint of all radio stations, Falcon XT is the tools that stand out in this tangle of media.

Falcon XT provides the broadcaster even more demanding, extremely sophisticated audio features and high-level

standard: 5-band control compression, dual-band power AGC, three-band EQ and Brightness control. The parameterized

Stereo Enhancer command provide to the radio station sound, the spacing effect and large stereo horizon openings. The

control of the phases of mono audio signals, makes the voice sound more natural, the Expander control allows to

minimize the background or unwanted noise, while the Overdrive and the SuperBass dealing to make the sound more

important on low and very low frequencies, creating an impressive effect of loudness. In addition, the SuperBass

Harmonizer controls the distortion of the bass sound/low frequency, compared to their clipping, creating a sound impact

unmistakable, increasing the energy transmitted by the low frequency and making listening much more pleasant than

other audio processors. The two distinct Final Limiter drive, one broadband and one dedicated only to low frequencies,

maximize the presence of the sound, always maintaining a pleasant audio listening. Falcon XT makes the sound of any

single broadcaster unique, without creating a sound too artificially colored, that in time could be confused and become

tiring to be listen to.

The soundprint of each broadcaster can be created from one of ten preset audio files already on Falcon XT, from rock to

classical, country, talk show, or preset audio while preserving the original sound, enhance the character and the unique

details. It is possible to recall a preset using ASCII protocol serial / ethernet port or via GPIn logic state.

The Composite Clipper installed in the Stereo Generator provides the highest level of modulation, while the 'MPX Power

Control allow to use the processor in full compliance with the ITU-R BS.412 about a density reduction while maintaining

the same level of deviation. In order to calibrate and set up correctly the audio network, a digital tone generator with

variable sample frequency and amplitude is available on Analog, Digital and MPX outputs.

The Falcon XT front panel has two large LCD displays, the first LCD shows the whole process input and output from the

audio processor, including the amount of intervention on each single compressor band, the limiting introduced by the

multiband limiter, the AGC level, input and output levels of audio sources analog, digital and MPX. The second display

shows all Falcon XT parameters such as preset on the air, RDS station name, GP In and GP Out status. Again on the

front panel there is a headphone output for monitoring the audio process introduced by the Falcon XT. So it’s simple to

hear the difference between the original audio and the processed one.

The internal RDS encoder available as an option, provides two DataSet, each with a wide range of services including

static programmable PS 60 messages, 16 RadioText messages, Alternative Frequency (AF) to receive the best

frequency as a function of 'coverage area, the Traffic Program (TP) / Traffic Announcement (TA) to listen to traffic

information and functions such as EON, M/S, DI, CT, PI, PTY, PIN. The switching between the DataSet can occur by

serial commands, GPIO or TCP/IP from a radio automation system. The RDS encoder complies with UECP SPB490.

The connectivity of Falcon XT is complete and manifold. The rear panel contains XLR connectors for connection of the

inputs and outputs in analog and digital AES/EBU. As regards the part MPX are available two outputs individually

buffered and independent for the signal MPX+RDS, plus two additional inputs AUX (SCA) with different functionality. An

AUX input (SCA) expressly intended use of external RDS encoder, while a second input is able to switch the audio from

another processor MPX to create a subnet managed by the automation system. All outputs are equipped with hardware

bypass in case of fault of the apparatus.

For remote connections are available an Ethernet TCP/IP port, a RS232 serial port, a USB port and a connection port

GPIO with optocouplers and open collector representing the operating states and alarms. Falcon XT can be controlled

remotely via Windows-based client software or through a common http pages thanks to the web server. Universal power

supply 90-264Vac 47-63Hz to operate in any region of the world Falcon XT occupies 1 rack unit 19 "

FIRST INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS

8 FIRST INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS

8.1 POWER SUPPLY CABLE

A power supply cable of approx. 2 mt length is supplied with the device, which has a moulded IEC plug attached – this is

a legal requirement.

The type of plug for the power supply depends on the country in which it is delivered.

If for any reason, you need to use this appliance with a different plug, you should use the following wiring guidelines in

replacing the existing plug with the new one:

Earth

Green, or green and yellow

Neutral (N)

Blue

Live (L)

Brown

Supply cables should be laid in such a manner that one does not step or walk on them. They should not be squashed by

any objects.

THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE EARTHED.

The chassis is always connected to mains earth to ensure your safety: check your mains wiring and earthing before

switching on.

8.2 AC MAINS VOLTAGE SETTING (230 V / 115 V)

BE SURE THAT THE UNIT IS SET TO THE CORRECT MAINS/LINE VOLTAGE FOR YOUR

COUNTRY BEFORE PLUGGING IT INTO THE WALL OUTLET !

The actual Mains voltage is indicated on the label stuck on the equipment closure. Should the type of power at the

operation location not be known, please contact your dealer or electricity company.

If, for some reason, the unit is to be operated at a mains input voltage which is different to that as supplied, you need to

switch the voltage selector on the right side of the unit. You also need to replace the AC main fuse, according to

information provided on the external label or on the Technical Specifications table at the end of this user manual.

CAUTION:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE AC

MAINS CABLE BEFORE ALTERING THE CHANGE-

OVER SWITCH. NO USER SERVICEABLE

PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

8.3 FUSE REPLACEMENT

The power supply socket has an integral fuse drawer containing the AC power fuse and a spare, both of the same value.

| FIRST INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS - 18

FIRST INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS

BEFORE REPLACING THE POWER FUSE, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TYPE OF FUSE FOR

THE VOLTAGE TO BE PROTECTED.

USING WRONG FUSE TYPE WILL RESULT IN INSUFFICIENT PROTECTION.

Make sure that the power is switched off and the power cable is disconnected from the equipment.

a. Open the upper iron cover using a screwdriver.

b. Replace the fuse located at the internal position – Power supply Type-1

c. Replace the fuse located at the internal position – Power supply Type-2

Perform the set-up under static control conditions. Static charges are likely to completely destroy one or

more of the CMOS semiconductors employed in the unit. Static damage will not be covered under

warranty.

| FIRST INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS - 19

FIRST INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS

Basic damage prevention consists of minimizing generation, discharging any accumulated static charge

on your body and preventing that discharge from being sent to or through any electronic component.

Uninsulated dangerous voltage are inside the enclosure, voltage that may be sufficient to constitute a

risk of shock.

Always disconnect to AC Mains before removing the top cover

8.4 PROTECTION AGAINST LIGHTNING

When the upper iron cover is removed, a plastic transparent cover helps the user safety, to avoid from flashlight coming

from the switching power supply. After the power cord has been disconnected some parts of the power supply remain

electrically loaded for a lot of time.

Axel Technology suggest to don’t touch never this parts, and it is not responsible for human flash light or electrical burns.

Should the device be put out of action due to being struck by lightning or excess voltage, disconnect it

from the power supply without delay. Do not reconnect until the device has been checked. If in doubt

contact the technical support service.

Make sure there is suitable lighting protection to protect the device.

Alternatively you should disconnect all connectors from the device during a storm or when the device

is going to be unsupervised or not used for a longer period of time.

These measures will protect against damage by lightning or excess voltage.
