I went to the website. Can't find the information specifically.
I suggest
info@barix.com and you will get a prompt reply.
I ahve been using these for quite some time. If I say ten it may be more in the field.
The input is high impedance (exactly what I am not sure) but can be driven with a variety of products. The output has either an RCA stereo jack or headphone type output. Normally this can drive 600 ohm equipment.
We use this to feed off site network stations on one of our state wide networks. The proof is done at the network station's site (mixer at the transmitter). I am not sure the mp3 version of the 100 or 110 (it has an lcd display but is no different in operation otherwise) will pass a proof.
Most engineers want the whole story not a part of it. If you don't want to tell why why should someone share knowledge about something and then find out they didn't have the whole story?
WITT is a new station with an eclectic mix of music. Some audiophiles are griping about the music.
The station feeds audio from a computer (what type of audio and sample rate?) to an analog console (yes?) hopefully to a limiter (what kind? - don't tell me no limiter because that's bad) prior to the barix instreamer or ogg vorbis encoder encoding mp3 on a computer.
How the station interfaces the computer audio and it's files (and type of audio file) through the chain to the mp3 encoder and the the levels are very important. Most computers do not have the input level variation you really want (to encode) and until you dink with it for a long time you will not get it right.
On the receive end you will have to use an interface from unbalanced (regardless of the impedance) to balanced to get the level hot enough to make this work into the audio processor. Because of the artsy fartsy format the station is not using heavy compression but wants to be loud. This is the problem. Any compression will enlarge any audio problems from the encoding end. And your transmitter site is near 50 kw 1070 AM so any ground issues will be noted very evident. Radio SHack used to sell a transformer with rca connectors. This is a start. MAI parts has various filters for AM AND FM rf. Depending on your situation your rf could be an issue.
We have worked through many of these issues which came down to good engineering practice. You have many issues fixed because Jeffe Goode did the install.
If you want to maintain audio purity without a real stl place your source material at the transmitter site and use the barix for feeds. Because of the delay you can't have the station in the headphones so it's a matter of delay and how much anyway.
And this is like any other audio chain. Once it is working lock the controls to keep people from changing them. or things will go from good to bad quick.
Give us the whol scoop on the WITT audio chain so we can all guess at the particulars of the problem., and, GOOD LUCK.
