Thanks Leif & JesseG.
I will do a proper calibration (i have a scope) and get back with the result.

The MAYA44 doesn’t even have 192kHz converters on the inputs. It only has 96kHz. Well at least it’s outputting 192khz from the DAC end… the 96kHz ADC will get upsampled by windows to 192kHz. See if you can input 48kHz instead while also outputting 192kHz for composite. That will get you the cleanest sound.
The "swinging" isn’t because of Breakaway. Running Breakaway on a properly calibrated converter you can be as loud as an Optimod 8500 cranked to 11. 🙂 The problem might be partly the capacitance on your outputs which will make the center of the signal move all over with the bass. This will also effect the tilt. There are modifications you can do to reduce this problem to almost none.
Did you perform one of the calibration methods in the documentation??
http://www.claessonedwards.com/index.ph … &Itemid=83[/quote]I tried 48k on input but I have to set BBP in and out to 192k (KS) otherwise BBP give me an error (can’t open pin or something like that)
In Windows control panel for Audio I have set MAYA as 24bit/192kHz.
Anyway it works and sounds good. I have to do a proper calibration with my FM Analysator and will do with a ociloscope also, before I just adjust MPX, Pilot & RDS levels.
The modifications you talk about, is it only tweeking in BBP or shall modify my hardware?

I just tested: "live audio" input to ESi-MAYA 44 > BBP > out MPX via ESI-MAYA 44.
Works great, I have Airomate2 RDS encoder on PIpline1 to BBP. So ESI-MAYA44 can do in/out in 192k at the same time. And on Windows Vista 🙂
FM signal looks good after som tweeking in BBP, I messure with my FM analysator.
But I so much like to have a coposite-clipper, or final-clipper that Orban call it. I think what ever preset I use on BBP the MPX signal swing to much, I do sound great. But with a final-clipper I can soud loader without modulation over 75k.

[quote author=”Leif”]Hi Ken!
The ESI-Maya 44 doesn’t support 192 kHz, so it can’t do composite out.Am I correct in assuming that:
You’re running an FM station, you want to use an external stereo encoder (thus you’ll use the L/R outputs of BBP, at 44 or 48 khz), and you want to use Live for low latency monitoring?
[/quote]ESI-Maya44 (PCI card) do support 192kHz, and works fine for MPX (even with RDS), realy a great soundcard for small money. http://www.esi-audio.com/products/maya44/ It is MAYA 44 USB that don’t support 192kHz.
Correct, running a FM transmitter feed MPX from BBP, and Live for monitoring (48kHz). Since my MAYA 44 has two stereo in and out I figure that will do it. But looks like I have to get an extra soundcard. What card do you recomend that has a PCI-Express slot, since my new HP compter dedicated for this only has one PCI and one PIC-Express slot…
Best,
Ken
