The Inovonics 679 INOmini FM/HD-Radio™ Monitor/Receiver is Inovonics’ third-generation, small form-factor FM and FM-band HD Radio broadcast monitor receiver. It receives both analog FM and digital HD1-HD8 radio channels for confidence monitoring and delivers a high-quality audio feed for rebroadcast or program distribution throughout the broadcast facility with adjustable analog and AES digital audio outputs.
FM RBDS and HD Radio PAD data may be called-up for display on the front-panel LCD screen.
Strictly for professional applications, the INOmini 679 purposely does not blend between the analog FM and HD1 simulcast like a consumer radio. Tuning and mode preferences are held in nonvolatile memory and all settings are restored following a power cycle.
