It really sounds very close to the original. One sound tip might be brighter than that, that would be the only care thing you could adjust

Very good sound and simple (less is more :) ). I understand that de 8182a is Optimod TV... what's is the preset that emulate the 8100?

Sounds much better now, it would be clearly interesting if you can emulate the and optimod pc 1101

Hi, I noticed that this preset is set to give an FM multiplex output. As I am not using it to feed a transmitter directly (just using it as part of an audio chain) does it make any difference to the sound if I just switch off the FM multiplex output and take a standard audio feed instead? Basically the way the 8182a works as it doesn't have a built-in stereo coder anyway.

Yes, I have an 8182a in my hi-fi rack and just use the tag-strip connections to get a de-emphasised output (the test jacks will give you a pre-emph output) - although the HF limiter section on my unit is faulty and so I'm getting a lot of treble rolloff above 2kHz. As I'm now suffering from severe hearing loss, I can't be bothered paying to get it repaired, so that's why I'm interested in getting a similar sound from a software processor like of StereoTool.

I had made a custom setting for the 8182a back when I had good hearing ...

Clipping +1
HF Limit 5
Release 3
Bass Coupling 2
Gate Threshold 4
with the Release Shape set to linear and the Loudness Control switched out,
and set the input levels to get -15dB of total gain reduction (shown as -5dB on the far left vertical meter) during the loudest parts of your music playback.

This will give a good, punchy FM radio compression type sound (without pumping) for most musical styles. Feel free to try it out.

I've just uploaded this on YouTube with my vintage 8100+XT2 audio processing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXAJe-mtKRE
If you find a preset that's sound like this, I'll take it guys!
Thanks
