[SBE] audio problem

Mr. Holmes:

I read the input about this problem. I have a more basic question.

You said the material sounds good in your studio and in the stations' control rooms. Is that in mono or stereo?

Remember that broadcast stations do not transmit Left and Right. They transmit L+R and L-R in order to get the mix for mono receivers.

As I understand it, the device you are using can introduce a variable phase delay. Signals that are slightly out of phase between Left and Right can sound fine in stereo, but will interfere destructively when mixed down to mono.

If you haven't listened to a mono mix down, give it a whirl and see how it sounds.

Good luck,
