Mobile Broadcast Laboratory
What is an "MBL" anyway?
The Orban/CRL Mobile Broadcast Laboratory (MBL) is a fully equipped mobile vehicle that has been converted to permit testing and demonstrations of Orban and CRL 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/CRL’s entire product line. A variety of equipment, including the new Optimod-PC 1100, the Optimod-FM 8500, and the Opticodec 7600 series ISDN machine, are on-board.
Presentations are conducted on High Definition RadioTM 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/CRL. The MBL Tour is a must-see for anyone in the broadcasting field.
