The FMTX50 has an integrated multi-band audio processor, stereo
encoder and RDS encoder. A digital AES/EBU audio input option is also
available.
The product is tested for compliance to UKCA and CE standards, and
meet the requirements of broadcast regulators.
Lucoro Broadcast’s reliable range of transmitters are used by
broadcasters worldwide, and benefit from 25 years of engineers’
design experience.
At the heart of the FMTX-series is a high quality PLL modulator, and the
RF Power Amplifier uses the latest high-gain Enhancement Mode
MOSFET device, achieving new levels of efficiency and reliability.
TTL remote monitoring and switching allows easily integration into
systems with automated back-up.
This all-in-one complete stereo broadcast solution also has TCP/IP
control and monitoring, plus dynamic RDS RadioTEXT features. An
audio silence alarm, plus remote RDS TA control are also provided.
The audio processor provides intelligent slow gain-riding (AGC), multi-
band compressor/limiters, plus clipping and FIR 15KHz filtering. It also
includes a high-quality Stereo Encoder section.
Being standalone, a dedicated computer or data feed for the RDS
functions is not required. Instead, periodic content updates are easily
performed via the transmitter’s USB port, using a Windows™ Laptop or
PC. Free software is available at https://lucorobroadcast.com/support.
For applications where dynamic updates to the RDS content is
required, this option can be implemented via the unit’s RS232
connection.
All functions are controlled via RISC microcontrollers, rather than
embedded processors, increasing reliability and minimizing boot-time.
