Distance is difficult to predict as there are many factors that control it. Reports vary on the transmission distance of 10W EIRP range, customer reports claim between 7 and 10km. Range is largely dependent on if the antenna is 1. on a pole on the top of a building roof or 2. more professionally installed on the side of a large tower. More on FM Transmission Range
The crisp clear FM signal starts in this unit which provides 10W super clean output in stereo with audio processing and limiting. For a small, but with a need to be quite powerful radio service, a big town for example, this transmitter is just the ticket with everything required included. More info on the 10W Transmitter
RDS is now included on all stereo transmitters with audio processing. RDS shows your station name and more scrolling across the car radio display.
This RDS is not just ordinary RDS, it is fully programmable dynamic RDS. This means the transmitter can be connected to a PC by a USB cable. The transmitters RDS circuit can be programmed to pick the Artist and Song name from any folder on the PC disk drive. This folder is easy to set up in the DJ playout software, like Zara Studio etc.

With a low SWR of 1.5 or less, this dipole antenna combined with 40ft / 12mt of RG58/CU cable radiates exactly in EIRP the same power as the transmitter, in this case 10W EIRP. Antennas that do not increase the power or decrease the power, are unity gain and are referred to as 0dB. More info on the Dipole Antenna
The high-quality FM signal begins with the internal Veronica PLL (Phase-Locked Loop) driver, which serves as the 1W Exciter.
• Function: Produces a super low noise and highly stable FM signal.
• Trustworthiness: Using a trusted PLL driver is fundamental to preventing drift and ensuring carrier integrity, a hallmark of professional-grade equipment.
• Resource: More information on this core component can be found in our 1W Exciter (PLL driver)
After the PLL generates the stable carrier, the internal processing boards take over to shape the audio for the best listener experience:
1. Internal Stereo Coder: Generates the FM stereo signal.
2. Internal Audio Processor: Applies dynamic processing (like limiting and compression) to ensure a loud and crisp audio signal on the listener's radio.
For expert broadcasters who utilize specialized external equipment, our system offers complete bypass capabilities.
• Integration: If you are an audio professional preferring an external processor (such as Orban, Inovonics, or PC-generated MPX/RDS signals), the system is fully flexible.
• Bypass Capability: The internal limiter, stereo coder, and audio processor boards can be completely disabled.
• Benefit: This flexibility ensures that the signal chain meets the exact, precise specifications and processing signature required by the station's chief engineer.
European Union
We hereby declare that this equipment complies with;
• ETS 300384 European Telecommunications Harmonised Standard when used with an audio compressor limiter supplied and tested by Aareff
• EN 301489-11 V1.3.1 (2006-05) EMC Electromagnetic Compatibility when used with 1 meter AC mains cord supplied. If the installation engineer needs to extend this cord, this and the audio input cable should be no more than 3 meters in length to remain in compliance with EMC directive.
• 2006/95/EC Directive (2006-12) LVD Low Voltage Directive.
Equipment compliance is possible using equipment from and in conjunction from other manufacturers, but since this is beyond the control of Aareff Systems, Aareff Systems cannot or be expected to guarantee compliance in this situation.
