The Vastly Superior Processor for FM, TV, Cable, Satellite,Webcasting, Post Production, CD Mastering Vastly Superior ProcessingSince 1975 APHEX Systems has designed and manufactured innovative signal processing equipment for professional applications. Many of our processors have become the de facto standard of the industry in their particular categories: Dominator�, Compellor�, Aural Exciter�, Big Bottom�, etc. It is with this heritage that we undertook the development of the original 2020. After five years in development and 15 new proprietary techniques, we created the finest sounding FM processor available. Two years later and with three new proprietary techniques the MkII was born and now we proudly introduce the 2020 MkIII. Aphex research ensures that each and every link in the 2020MkIII processing chain outperforms any comparable link in any competitive product. When the links are combined the MkIII is vastly superior. Additional FeaturesPassword Security System Programmable and automatable for day-partingRemotely and Locally controllable RDS input / output and dual composite outputsHeadphone Input / Output monitorCan also operate in a dual mono configuration - a cost and space-effective idea for single channel broadcastersInsert loop for adding additional processing such as the Aphex Aural Exciter and Big BottomDigital I/O option includes our patented Drift Stabilized A to D ConvertersUltra precision oven controlled crystal oscillator option ( Denotes Aphex Proprietary Circuitry ) Our PressThe Model 2020 was hailed worldwide as the FM processor of choice for stations where sound quality and loudness are equally important. Review after review talked about clarity, naturalness, loudness, lack of annoying artifacts, great value, deep, rich bottom end, clear, unclouded midrange and highs � the list of accolades went on and on. Now with new circuit designs, improved processing algorithms and new features the reviewers will have to find new superlatives for the 2020MkIII.Loudness vs CleanlinessCompetition for loudness impacts audio quality. The 2020MkIII rewrites that formula through the utilization of 18 exclusive techniques (patented and patent pending) which increase density beyond any other processor while retaining naturalness and musicality. Increased CoverageAnother advantage of the 2020MkIII is the stability and purity of the signal, resulting in extended coverage in shadow areas. Customize Your Own SoundThe 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. Remote ControlThe Model 2020MkIII is totally controllable locally via the front panel controls or remotely via RS232 and modem. The newly improved Remote Software is Wintows� 98/2000 compatible. Presets, Day and Day of Week PartingThe 2020MkIII has eight factory presets and 16 user definable presets. All operating parameters can be modified and saved in a user preset. 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.
