Orban Optimod-FM 8500 Digital Audio Processor

“Under the hood,” Orban redesigned all of the circuitry using the latest components. They also doubled the DSP power, so the DSP not only supports the new features but also provides comfortable headroom for future DSP improvements.

Featuring versatile five-band and two-band processing for both analog FM transmission and digital radio, the 8500 provides the industry’s most consistent sound, track-to-track and source-to-source. This consistency allows you to create a sonic signature for your station with the assurance that your signature will stay locked in, uniquely branding your sound.

The 8500 provides stereo enhancement, equalization, AGC, multiband compression, low-IM peak limiting, stereo encoding, and composite limiting—everything that even the most competitive major market station needs to stand out on the dial.
