Mobile Broadcast Laboratory
What is an "MBL" anyway?
The Orban Mobile Broadcast Laboratory (MBL) is a fully equipped mobile vehicle that has been converted to permit testing and demonstrations of Orban products, and to do comparisons with other products. The MBL travels across the country stopping at local broadcast stations and SBE meetings in U.S. cities. The MBL also carries kiosk rack-mounted displays of Orban’s entire product line. A variety of equipment, including the new Optimod 8685 Digital Surround Audio Processor, the new Optimod-PC 1101, and the Optimod-FM 8600 are on-board.
Presentations are conducted on High Definition Radio™ and the most recent developments in audio processing. The MBL offers broadcast engineers, technical service managers and owners an opportunity for hands-on demonstrations, technical training and a chance for in-depth Q&A sessions with the experts from Orban. The MBL Tour is a must-see for anyone in the broadcasting field.
