The 6100 gives the host or producer of a talk show the power to prevent the broadcast of unwanted profanities or comments from guests, hosts or telephone callers. As the program begins, the 6100 gradually and unobtrusively delays or “stretches out” the program until up to 40 seconds of 20 kHz bandwidth stereo audio is stored in memory. When a person says something the host or producer does not think appropriate for the broadcast, he or she presses the DUMP button and a user preset length of memory is cleared, thereby preventing the unwanted audio from reaching the airwaves. Meanwhile, the host releases the offending caller from the telephone line and proceeds with the program. After the DUMP button has been pressed, the 6100 automatically begins to stretch (time expand) the program audio again until the user preset length of delay is attained. Several minutes in advance of the end of the talk show, the host or producer presses the EXIT DELAY button and the 6100 begins to time compress the program audio until there is nothing left in the 6100’s memory (zero seconds delay). At this point the program is back in “real time.” A unique feature of the 6100 is the COUGH button, which allows the host to make impromptu interruptions in the program for up to 40 seconds while keeping the audience unaware of the break. When the COUGH button is pushed, the 6100 plays from memory while the button is held in. As soon as the button is released, the 6100 automatically begins to refill the memory. The host can cough, have a quick drink of water, or make a comment to the producer or engineer without any perceptible program interruption. The 6100 uses the latest in delta-sigma conversion technology coupled with advanced digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms. This combination produces a product that meets or exceeds the highest broadcast standards in terms of low noise, low distortion, and superb signal processing. The 6100’s logical, easy to use control panel holds no hidden surprises. The product is easy to learn and simple to use.
