Inovonics 514 INOmini FM Multiplex Decoder/ Radio Broadcast.


Inovonics' INOmini 514 is a standalone decoder for FM-stereo multiplex signals. It accepts a demodulated FM-baseband input and decodes the signal to discrete left and right channel audio. The recovered stereo program is available as a professional line-level balanced output, and also as an AES digital audio signal. Local alarm 'tallies' and selectable de-emphasis curves make the INOmini 514 an essential tool for professional applications wherever a stereo-baseband signal needs to be decoded and monitored.

Features

  • Decodes Composite/MPX signal into L/R audio
  • Analog L/R and AES-digital program line outputs
  • Accurate front-panel metering
  • Front-panel alarms with rear-panel 'tallies' for program Audio Loss (silence sense) and stereo Pilot Loss (stereo/mono status)
  • Conforms to the worldwide FM 'pilot-tone' systemselectable 75&mus/50&mus de-emphasis
    Specifications

    MULTIPLEX (MPX) INPUT


    Unbalanced/bridging (BNC); 10k input impedance; requires 0.5V p-p minimum signal. 

    L/R ANALOG LINE OUTPUTS


    Active-balanced (XLR), 200-ohm source impedance; 4dBu output at ‘0dB’ on front-panel meter. 

    AES DIGITAL OUTPUT


    Transformer-balanced (XLR), 44.1kHz sampling rate; –6dBFS output at ‘0dB’ on front-panel meter.

    HEADPHONE JACK


    3.5mm (TRS) for low-Z or high-Z phones; fixed listening level. 

    PROGRAM AUDIO DE-EMPHASIS:


    75μs/50μs, selected with push-on jumpers under the top cover.

    FORCED-MONO OPERATION


    Enabled with a push-on jumper under the top cover. 

    AUDIO FREQUENCY RESPONSE


    Follows selected de-emphasis characteristic ±0.5dB, 20Hz to 15kHz.

    NOISE


    (Unweighted SNR re: ±75kHz deviation):
    MONO: ≥72dB; analog/digital 
    STEREO: ≥70dB; analog/digital

    DISTORTION


    ≤0.05% THD, 20Hz to 15kHz (analog/digital)

    STEREO SEPARATION


    >50dB 20Hz to 15kHz (analog/digital)

    ALARM TALLIES


    Individual open-collector NPN transistor outputs for Program Audio Loss (either/both channels) and Pilot Loss (stereo/mono indicator)

    POWER REQUIREMENT


    12VDC at 230mA. A ‘wall-outlet transformer’ (WallWart®) switching-type power supply appropriate to the destination AC mains voltage is provided. 

    MOUNTING OPTIONS 


    An optional rack adapter accepts up to three INOmini modules in a 1U, 19-inch rack space. Alternatively the 514 may easily be fastened to any convenient surface with two small screws.

    SIZE AND WEIGHT


    1.6”H x 5.5”W x 5.5”D; 4 lbs. shipping weight.
