Stereo encoder with limiter



This solid stereo encoder is more than a "stereo bug". It can be used for quality stereo broadcasting.
The limiter ensures right modulation level for very wide input audio level range. Output amplifier allows to connect the stereo encoder directly to MPX or mono input of a transmitter.
To assemble and set-up this stereo encoder some experiences are needed.

Technical parameters
Supply voltage: 11-15 V stab.
Supply current: 40 mA
Output MPX voltage level: adjustable 0-8 V p-p

socket 2x3

For increasing the output level connect 10 uF capacitor between Gain pins on the IC4.
C5 and C15 are not required if the audio source is strong enough (usually is).
Setting-up
  1. Limiter adjust
    Place halfs of the 2x3 socket instead of T1 and T3. Set R14 to 180 k. It's reccomended to connect headphones to output of the limiter (Q1-Q4) for this time.
    Find two BF245C (T1, T3) transistors from approx. 10 pieces with similar properties. This means that if you fetch different audio levels to input of the limiter, the balance must not vary. Try it in wide input level range.
    Then eliminate small differences by R14.
  2. Stereo encoder adjust
    Set R26 exactly to half, R24 and R29 to zero. Connect the device to a transmitter. Adjust right pilot level by R33.
    Set R1 and R11 to max. Fetch some audio signal to input. Adjust right audio level by R24 and R29.
Now is the device set-up. You can adjust MPX level by R33 at any time.
