No it's more like audio processing for FM transmission... but done via software vs chips on a hardware mounted rack unit worth big $$$

oh, i see. may i ask what it does to the audio to prepare the signal for FM transmission?

it's really a glorified audio processor with compression and limiting and clipping. It then creates a MPX signal that can be fed into the TX along with RDS data etc.

It's the difference between a quieter sounding music track on the radio and a fuller, louder processed sound. Something that is always a point of debate as to what ideally 'sounds' the best :)

It's a now unavailable package called Sonos... not to be confused with
the home audio system by the same name :)

Is there somewhere I can read about it online or perhaps a .pdf available?
I know Orban made an OptiMod software processor but it required a professional grade audio card to go with it. Your typical home sound card won't drive it. --- SBBSecho 3.11-Linux

That's a shame.
