FISHER
MPX-100
is designed to adapt your FM-AM or FM
tuner to receive multiplex broadcasts in full stereophonic sound.
The experience gained from years of leadership in the design and
manufacture of FM tuners has been applied to the design of the
MPX-100
and has made it the best performing and most convenient
multiplex adaptor

existence. The exclusive FISHER STEREO
BEACON is a~~tontaticallyilluminated when you tune to a multiplex
program and turns off as soon as the station reverts to ordinary mono-
phonic transmission. At the same time, the FISHER Automatic Switch-
ing System senses whether the program transmitted is stereo or mono-
phonic and switches the
MPX-100
into the proper operating mode, thus
making it unnecessary to switch back and forth between stereo and
mono on your adaptor. Feedthrough connections for all types of tuners
arc provided, even when the
MPX-100
is turned off. Two separate
noi~cfilters can be operated by a single front panel sw~tch.One filter

lor reception of multiplex signals under more difficult conditions.
Most important of all are the careful attention to every detail of manu-
facture and the top-quality parts which have given FISHER products

a world-wide reputation for remarkable durability and outstanding
reliability.

tuners and receivers will give excellent results when.used
with the
MPX-100.
Your MPX-100 has also been designed to oper-
A'
ate with any tuner or receiver employing either a ratio detector or a dis-
criminator to demodulate the FM signal. Naturally, a multiplex adaptor
designed to operate perfectly with such a widc variety of tuners must be
provided with special controls. As a result of careful design and the use
of precision parts, however, it was possible to reduce the number of
controls on the
MPX-100
to only three: the Separation control on the
rear panel, and the Output Level controls also on the rear. The Separa-
tion control must be adjusted to provide the maximum degree of
stereo separation between channels for each particular model tuner.
In addition, two MPX input jacks are provided on the rear panel,
one to match tuners with low level outputs and the other to match
those with high outputs. These adjustments need be made only once,
when installing the
MPX-100.

Ratio DetectorTuners
The MPX output jack of all ratio detector tuners should be con-
nected to the LOW LEVEL input jack on the rear panel of the
MPX-100.
The Separation control on the
MPX-100
should be set at
3
for unbalanced ratio detectors and at 4 for balanced ratio detectors.
Discriminator Tuners
The Separation control of the
MPX-100
should be set at 4.5 for
all discriminator tuners.
If
the maximum output of the discriminator
(at the MPX output jack) is above
1.5
volts, connect the MPX output
of your tuner to the
HIGH
LEVEL input jack on the rear panel
of
the
MPX-100.
If
the maximum output is below
1.5
volts, connect the
MPX outj~utof your tuner to the LOW LEVEL jack.
NOTE:
If
your instruction manual does not contain this information,
you may have to contact your dealer or the manufacturer.
If
you find
it impossible to determine the maximum discriminator output of your
tuner, use
the
HIGH
LEVEL jack initially. Change to the
LOW
LEVEL
jack if the STEREO BEACON fails to light during a-multi-
plex transmission from a weak station.

nRoADcAsrINc has a frequency range far in excess of the normal
hearing range. For example, Fisher wide-band tuners have a
frequency range which extends to
100
kc, while the normal hearing
range does not exceed 17 kc. This extra "space" in the frequency
response has now been put into service for the transmission of a
second and third signal sim~~ltaneouslywith the main carrier. The
third (and highest) signal is wed in commercial applications (for
background music) and will not be received on home high fidelity
equipment. The other two signals, however, are used for the recep-
tion of stereo programs. During multiplex broadcasts, the main car-
rier, which can be picked up by any
FM
tuner or receiver, contains
the sum or blended signal from both stereo channels (left plus right).
The second, snpersonic signal contains the information necessary for
stereo. This system makes it possible for an ordinary FM set to re-
ceive a fully balanced monophonic program during multiplex trans-
mission. At the same time, however, the circuits of the
MPX-100
separate the two stereo channels, thus providing you with a11 the added
benefits of full stereo sound.
Because
FM
multiplex requires new equipment and new techniques
at FM broadcasting stations, it is to be expected that not all pro-
grams will be of the same high technical calibre during the first few
months. Such occasional problems as may arise initially will no doubt
be solved quickly, as the stations gain experience with the new
procedures. It is important to keep in mind, however, that the stereo
subcarrier is inherently more noisy than the main carrier. In order
to receive weak or distant stations with acceptably low noise level%
you may find it necessary to change to an antenna with higher gain,
or to relocate your present antenna in a more favorable position.
If you have difficulty in receiving weak stations, the following
measures should be taken:
1-Reverse the antenna leads.
2-Reposition the
FM
Antenna.
If you are using
a
folded dipole
antenna, rotate it horizontally about its axis to determine the orienta-
tion which produces a null or minimum received signal as indicated
on the tuning meter or tuning eye. Then rotate the antenna
90
degrees
for the best position. The antenna should be as high as possible, hori-
zontal and away from all large metal objects and electrical wiring. It
may also be necessary to relocate the antenna to achieve a usable signal.
Indoor antennas, especially in metal frame buildings, will give improved
results when located close to outside windows.
%Change to Rooltop Antenna.
In extreme cases, where-an indo
antenna was used for monophonic reception, il may be necessary
change to an outdoor, rooftop antenna, or even
u
highly direction
yagi antenna. Directional antennas should be rotated for maximu
received signal strength.
Although the problems inhemtin
FM
multiplex have been stressed
it is not expected that they
will
arise very frequently. In general, th
can be solved simply by increasing the strength of the received sign
(and removing the distortion caused
by
multipath transmission)
through a change
in
the
antenna aptem,

at 105-120 volts. One three-
foot cable and two iour-foot cables are included to make con-
nections to associated equipment. Any additional connections should
be made with the same type of cable. Be sure to use the three-foot
cable for the connection from the MPX output jack on your tuner
since longer cable lengths will cause some loss of the higher fre-
quencies. Both.
MPX-100
outputs are low-impedance anode followers,
permitting cable lengths up to 10 feet between the

INDICATOR LIGHTS:
The red Power jewel on the front panel glows
when power to the
MPX-100
is turned on. The green Stereo Beacon
automatically signals whenever the station tuned to is broadcasting an
FM stereo program. It will remain off during monophonic programs.
SELECTOR SWITCH:
The Selector switch has four positions:
AC
Off:
Power to the
MPX-100
is turned off, but feedthrough connec-
tions are provided from the tuner to the amplifier for monophonic FM,
..
AM or stereo FM-AM programs. You will find this position particularly
useful when listening to such programs for prolonged periods of time.
When switching from AC OFF to another position of the Selector
switch, it should be kept in mind that there will be a delay of approxi-
mately
30
seconds, due to necessary tube warmup, before the
MPX-100
will begin to operate.
Tuner:
In addition to providing the same feedthrough connections
from the tuner
to
the amplifier, this position places the Stereo Beacon
in operation. In the same manner as the
AC
OFF position, the tuner
signal passes directly through the
MPX-100,
completely unaffected by
the adaptor's internal circuitry. FM-AM stereo and FM or AM mono-
phonic programs may be heard directly from the tuner with the
Selector in this position. Whenever a multiplex FM stereo program is
broadcast, the Stereo Beacon will automatically light. However, FM
multiplex programs cannot be received stereophonically in the TUNER
position, nor will the Automatic Switching teature operate.
Stereo-Mono
Automatic:
This position is used for normal reception of
FM multiplex broadcasts in stereo sound, and, due to the FISHER
Automatic Switching System, may also be used for reception of
I
monophollic FM broadcasts. The Stereo Beacon will light whenever
4,
a multiplex program comes on the air, and the
MPX-100
will automati-
cally switch into the stereo mode. When the station reverts to mono-
phonic operation, the
MPX-10
will automatically switch to the mono-
phonic mode and the monophonic signal will appear at both outputs
of the adaptor. At the same time, the Stereo Beacon will be turned
off. This feature makes manual switching completely unnecessary

d

when an FM station alternates between monophonic and stereo selec-
lions. The mode selector of your amplifier should he left in the Stereo
position for
both
types of broadcast. If you live in a fringe area and
experience difficulty in receiving a particular program stereophoni-
c-ally, due
to
the high noise level, you may receive the program mono-
~jhonicallyby switching to TUNER or AC OFF. Since monophonic
reception is inherently less affected by background noise, the program
may be more enjoyable when this is done.
Stereo Manual:
This position should be used only during an FM
multiplex broadcast, when you wish to disable the Automalic Switching
System of the
MPX-100.
Although the Stereo Beacon will operate as
normally, the adaptor will
not
switch to the monophonic mode when
a monophonic program is broadcast. Under extremely rare circum-
stances, the background noise may interfere with normal operation of
the Automatic Switching circuits of the
MPX-100
(with the Selector
at STEREO-MONO AUTOMATIC). In this case, you can receive the
program stereophonically by turning the Selector to STEREO MAN-
UAL, or monophonically by turning to TUNER or AC OFF.
NOISE FILTER SWITCH:
The three positions of this switch perform
the following functions:
Off:
This position is used for normal reception of both monophonic
und multiplex stereo FM programs.
1:
This position should be used only on multiplex programs, when the
noise level is'higher than normal. Since this filter cancels noise only
in the stereo subcarrier (which is inherently noisier than the main
carrier), you will hear no difference in the frequency range of the
music, although stereo separation at the higher frequencies will be
lomewhat diminished.
2:
This filter, which provides a steep roll-off above
8
kc, operates in
the
name manner as the High
or
Scratch filter on your amplifier. To
nuppress noise on a muliplex program, try position
1
first. If more
noise suppression is desired, turn the Selector to position
2.
Thisfilter is
also quite effective in eliminating noise on monophonic FM programs,
iT
the Selector is in the STEREO-MONO AUTOMATIC position.
LEVEL SETS:
Two level sets are located on the rear panel for adjust-
ment of the sound level on both channels of the
MPX-100.
These
level sets should be adjusted so that no difference in volume is heard
when switching between
Tuner
and
FM
Stereo.
The volume level on
the feedthrough positions
(AC
Oj
and
Tuner)
is not affected by the
level sets.
