Description
Inovonics 526 AM Modulation Monitor
AVAILABLE Q2 2024.
The 526 is Inovonics fourth-generation AM Modulation Monitor.The all-digital 526 combines detailed DSP signal analysis with a menu-driven touch-screen display, plus Webserver-based total access for remote operation, including measurements, graphical data and direct Web-browser audio monitoring of the off-air program.
Features
- Remotely tune AM band, read metering, peak flashers.
- Tuning Range: 520kHz to 1720kHz in 10kHz steps; 522kHz to 1719kHz in 9kHz steps.
- Graphic 5-inch touch-screen and remote display of all level metering.
- Station Rotation for `round robin´ monitoring of up to 30 preset stations.
- Remote control and monitoring via Web.
- Enhanced alarm logging with notifications via Email/SMS & SNMP.
- Remote listening with multi-user stream and Dante/AES67 AoIP.
PLEASE NOTE:
Specifications tabulated here are actual, real-world measurements, not optimistic allusions to theoretical ideals. Measurement results should be repeatable when using the appropriate, laboratory-grade test equipment.
RF & RECEPTION:

520kHz to 1720kHz in 10kHz steps; 522kHz to 1719kHz in 9kHz steps.
Antenna Input:
75-ohm (F), 1VRMS max.
High-Level RF Input:
50-ohm (BNC), 5VRMS max.
Off-Air Sensitivity (for 50dB monaural SNR):
- 5dBµV or better with de-emphasis.
- 15dBµV or better unweighted.
Reception Modes:
Mono / SCA Program Audio
- .
INPUTS, OUTPUTS AND PORTS:
MPX Output:
(BNC) select either MPX or 19kHz stereo pilot sample; adjustable from 1VPP to 6VPP in 0.01V steps; ±0.25dB, 10Hz-100kHz.
Program Audio Outputs:
May be assigned to the FM-stereo program or to SCA audio. Unless otherwise noted, performance parameters reflect FM Stereo Performance cited above.
- Balanced Analog: (XLR) Left and Right outputs adjustable from –15dBu to +15dBu in 0.1dB steps; 200Ω resistive source.
- AES Digital: (XLR) Adjustable from –30dBFS to 0dBFS in 0.1dB steps; user-selected 44.1kHz or 48kHz sample rate; 110Ω transformer-coupled.
- Dante/AES67 Compatible AoIP Port: (RJ45) Output at 44.1kHz (Dante-only) or 44.1kHz/48kHz (Dante/AES67); AoIP utility has independent IP, Audio Format and Transmit Flow settings; level adjustable from –30dBFS to 0dBFS in 0.1dB steps.
Program Audio Outputs (continued):
