2.5kW EIRP Complete FM Radio Transmitter Broadcasting System



2500W EIRP 19 inch professional equipment rack with FM transmitter and RF amplifier - Stock Code: 2500w58a20
2500W EIRP antenna system, operation and installation guide

What Distance Will 2.5kW Do?

Up to 85km is possible with this power level if the transmitter building is on high ground, a least two stories and the antenna mounted on a pole of at least 12ft / 3.5mt. We can give more accurate predictions on range using satellite elevation data like this RF COVERAGE PLOT at our Facebook page.

1kW FM Stereo Transmitter

For the small station, not too small, like a large town, this transmitter is perfect. With 1000W clean stereo and legal output. It also has built in audio processing and limiting, so you don't need to provide this separately and this will save you a fortune. Install the antenna then just plug in and go. More info on the 1000W Transmitter

Includes RDS (Radio Data System)

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.

MORE INFORMATION

High Gain Antenna

Like we always say, the antenna is everything when it comes to radio transmission, it is your best buddy. We know the 5/8 WAVE ANTENNA just looks like a 2mt tube bolted to the top of a pole, how complicated can that be? Well, it is a little more complicated, the length is critical and the bits and pieces at the bottom are precision down to 1mm !! in size and fixing position. Careful engineering by our team gets this perfect and gives you a simple to look at, elegant and high performance antenna.

20 Metre (66 Feet) Antenna Cable

This package uses 66ft / 20mt of LMR400 antenna cable. The loss on this cable and plus the antenna gain actually results in an EIRP of over 2500 watts.


Maximum FM Transmitter Range For 2500W EIRP Based On Customer Reports From Around The World

2.5kW Maximum FM Transmission Range Chart: Real-World Listener Data

Understanding Typical Broadcast Coverage.

The following range chart is derived from real-world customer reporting, providing a reliable baseline for expected broadcast coverage. This data reflects the typical ranges really ever recorded by stations utilizing this 100kW EIRP system.

• Data Source: Based on average customer reports in some directions.

• Verification: Reports are primarily compiled from direct listener communication (phone, text, WhatsApp, etc.) to radio station programs operated by our customers.

It is important to understand that FM transmission range is very difficult to predict precisely due to numerous influencing variables (e.g., terrain, antenna height, atmospheric conditions, local noise floor). For a detailed breakdown of the factors affecting signal propagation, refer to our dedicated page FM Transmission Range

FM Stereo Audio and Processing: Achieving Loud, Crisp Broadcast Quality

THE SIGNAL FOUNDATION: LOW NOISE AND HIGH STABILITY

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)

INTERNAL AUDIO PROCESSING FOR LISTENERS

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.

PROFESSIONAL FLEXIBILITY: EXTERNAL PROCESSOR INTEGRATION

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.

DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY

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.
