Hi,
We’re a small radiostation in Aalst, Belgium, and we have a test setup using Breakaway Broadcast.
Using Plutonium NR setting.Two problems:
– there is virtually no bass in the broadcast at all, bass boost and shape settings don’t seem to affect the on air sound… changing preset doesn’t solve this
– we’re broadcasting on 104.9 till 105.3… we have a license for 105.1 FM. Is this because the signal is too loud? At this time, we’re broadcasting equally loud as other stations in the area.Thank you for any thoughts, assistance, solutions.

Radio Katanga, Aalst, Belgium.I must add the pc output is directly connected to the exciter’s MPX IN.
studio/nonstop splitter -1-> breakaway broadcast -2-> MPX inp || FM exciter || RDS in <– pira.cz rds encoder
1. 2 R/L cinch –> 3,5 jack
2. 3,5 jack –> 2 R/L cinch –> BNC adapter –> BNCSoundcard: ASUS Xonar DS 7.1 PCI Audio Card
thank you
You should check your exciter’s input, maybe it has a high pass filter which is set too high and biting into the bass. As for the frequency you’re on, check it at a fair distance away from the transmitter. If you’re too close to the transmitter your radio will be overloaded and you’ll see what you report.
If even at a fair distance (say 1km) situation is the same, you’re overmodulating the transmitter. Though i fail to see how you could go 200kHz both ways, much over 100kHz deviation will make a digital receiver distort heavily or even lose signal. I can push +/-150kHz and have my old analog radio take it happily, but my digital Yamaha T-500 and my mobile phones don’t like it.
