Overview
Moseley SL9003QHP-2SLAN, Starlink Two Channel Digital STL System, provides one 44.1 kHz stereo pair with RS-232 channels, plus 544 kbps simplex Ethernet data.
The SL9003Q is a fully transparent link in your all-digital air chain, allowing the clarity of your audio to shine through. AES/EBU inputs and outputs combine with a built-in variable rate converter to offer seamless, compression-free connectivity. Front panel audio metering with RF and Modem diagnostics continually monitor the quality of your signal, assuring easy initial installation and maintenance.
Utilizing spectrally efficient Quadrature Amplitude Modulation technology, the SL9003Q can be configured to deliver linear audio channels, UDP for HD Radio™, plus RS-232 for remote control and RBDS over narrow-bandwidth RF STL channels. User-selectable modulation rates of 16, 32, 64, and 128 QAM allow the end-user to maximize payload for RF channel allocations.
