Introduction
The DaySequerra M2 HD Radio
TM
Modulation Monitor is one of the finest broadcast modulation
monitors available with built-in multicast capability. The M2 has been designed as the benchmark in
sensitivity (< 5.0dBf in FM) and reliability, and at the same time delivers the highest quality, accurate
monitoring of existing analog and HD Radio
TM
AM and FM broadcast signals (THD+N <.005% with
stereo separation >90dB for HD Radio
TM
FM signals).
The DaySequerra M2’s ultra low noise RF front-end with built-in preselector and double-balanced
mixer, low-jitter DAC and Class-A biased audio outputs provide the highest fidelity reception and
demodulation of HD Radio
TM
programs, including display of program applicable data (PAD) for MPS
and SPS multicast signals.
Its robust, modular architecture ensures that the M2 will never become obsolete. The rugged M2
chassis houses dedicated hardware RF, audio and power supply modules that, along with firmware
updates via flash programmable memory, completely anticipates the growth of new HD Radio
TM
services and programming. This design approach along with our Factory Product Upgrade program
ensures that your investment in a DaySequerra product will continue to pay off well into the future. Visit
