Aphex 2020 MKIII
The FM Processor of Choice for Loudness and Sound Quality
Loudness vs Cleanliness
Competition for loudness impacts audio quality. The 2020MkIII utilizes 18 exclusive Aphex technologies which increase density while retaining naturalness and musicality.
Increased Coverage
The stability and purity of the 2020MkIII's signal results in extended coverage in shadow areas.
Customize Your Own Sound
The 2020MkIII comes with 8 sample presets that many will find perfect for their station's sound. Others will find these suitable as the starting point to completely customize a sonic signature from the vast palette of control over processing parameters. The 2020MkIII has eight factory presets and 16 user definable presets. All operating parameters can be modified and saved in a user preset.
Remote Control
The Model 2020MkIII is totally controllable locally via the front panel controls or remotely via RS232 and modem.
Presets, Day and Day of Week Parting
Day parting can be programmed for up to 4 changes of presets per day. In addition, each day of the week can be programmed to have its own day parting schedule of presets.
Options
The basic unit has flat (no pre-emphasis) processing with analog I/O
Option 1 adds AES/EBU digital I/O Option 2 adds a pre-emphasis limiter and low pass filter Option 3 adds the pre-emphasis limiter, low pass filter and PPDM stereo generator Option 4 adds an Ultra-precision oven-controlled crystal oscillator to option 3
