Which Version Do You Need?

Selecting the Optimal Version for Your Broadcast Requirements.

Choosing the correct version of your FM Transmitter is crucial for operational efficiency and meeting your specific broadcast goals. We offer professionally engineered systems that cover 90% of customer requirements right out of the box, ensuring you get the exact functionality needed for your station.

These are the two primary, professional versions of our FM Transmitters:

Transmitter Version Ideal Application
◼ Stereo with RDS and Audio Processing Version Any station prioritizing high audio quality, professional stereo separation, and dynamic Radio Data System (RDS) functionality for displaying station name, song titles, or slogans. This is the most feature-rich option for modern, professional broadcasting.
◼ MPX Version Experienced engineers who handle external audio processing and stereo encoding outside the transmitter. This version accepts a pre-processed and encoded composite signal (MPX) for direct modulation, offering maximum control to the audio chain expert.

Need Customization?
We understand that custom requirements exist. If you need alternative versions (e.g., stereo only, no RDS, no processing), we can accommodate these requests to match your specific technical setup.

Contact Our Experts
If you are still unsure, you are always welcome to contact us at: info@aareff.com or WhatsApp: +1 829 6980733 and we're more than happy to advise you.

Stereo, RDS, and Advanced Audio Processing FM Transmitter Version

The Ideal Transmitter: Loud, Legal, and Hassle-Free

For Beginners: Features automatic audio level adjustment to ensure your 2000 watt transmitter always complies with state regulatory specifications. Effortless setup guaranteed.

For Professionals: Skip manual adjustments. This unit is housed in a single, integrated enclosure, providing everything needed for optimal performance without external clutter.

Smart Audio Processing & Regulatory Compliance

The built-in audio processing is engineered for maximum competitive advantage:

• It achieves a loud, impactful audio level while strictly preventing over-deviation and potential regulatory issues.

• The internal audio processors and stereo functionality are expertly calibrated to maintain the crucial balance between maximum loudness and legal compliance.

The audio inputs conform to the industry standard: 600 ohm +4 dBu balanced, using XLR connectors.

Additionally, this version INCLUDES RDS, allowing your station name and other information to scroll across car radio displays.

This is not just ordinary RDS; it features fully programmable dynamic RDS. By connecting the transmitter to a PC via USB, you can modify the RDS data in real-time using the USB PC CONTROL shown below.

Maximize Your Reach: Antenna Selection

The transmitter will work with any 50 ohm antenna rated at 2000W or higher. However, pairing this transmitter with an Aareff high-gain antenna will drastically multiply your Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP), saving you thousands of dollars in amplifier costs.

When paired with the Aareff 2kW transmitter, expect the following approximate output:

Vertical 5/8 Wave Antenna: 5kW EIRP
Circular Dipole Antenna: Up to 10kW EIRP
Folded Dipole Antenna: Up to 25kW EIRP

Need a Complete Ready-to-Air Solution?

Skip the guesswork. Our 25kW EIRP system includes this exact 2kW transmitter packaged with premium coaxial cable and a perfectly matched folded dipole antenna array. These full turnkey systems are engineered to comply with EU standards and FCC regulations right out of the box.

Flat 30Hz to 76KHz MPX Input Version: Precision for High-End Audio Processors

Professional-Grade Raw MPX Input

This version is specifically available for experienced users who require a straight, raw MPX input for external signal processing.

1. Zero Tilt for Multiband Processors

• The absolute requirement for professional processing is a flat low-frequency response. As proven by our 160Hz Square Wave Test, our input delivers a perfectly square wave with zero tilting. This allows your external processor to maintain absolute control over the modulation, ensuring maximum loudness and a legal signal without low-end artifacts.

2. Ultra-Stable Hartley VCO & Slow-PLL Architecture

Superior performance starts with a stable foundation. Our Hartley-based, lightly coupled push-pull VCO is so stable it stays within 10kHz of its frequency even with the PLL turned off. This inherent stability leads to two critical performance benefits:

• Ultra-Low Noise: Because the VCO is naturally stable, the PLL only needs to make microscopic corrections (less than 300Hz), resulting in an exceptionally clean and transparent noise floor.

• Preserved Low-End: By heavily low-pass filtering the PLL control voltage to just a few Hz, we ensure 30Hz bass notes pass through the varicap completely unaltered. This preserves the essential low-frequency response demanded by high-performance audio processors.

Result: This preserves the essential low-end audio response demanded by high-performance audio processors.

Rugged Rack-Mount Construction

The complete 2kW assembly is designed to fit seamlessly into any standard 19-inch rack, consisting of two 3U amplifier enclosures and one 2U control enclosure.

Military-Grade Durability: Crafted from heavy-duty 16-gauge steel and finished with a baked satin-black powder coat. Unlike flimsy alternatives, this rigid construction guarantees a rust-proof, professional chassis built to survive the harshest transmitter sites for years.

Advanced VSWR Protection

The 2kW output stage is powered by twin BLP188XNRFE LDMOS amplifiers. These XR (Extremely Rugged) devices are specifically chosen to keep your broadcast stable in the most challenging environments, such as during lightning storms or sudden antenna icing.

Severe Mismatch Safe: Engineered for ultimate reliability, the system withstands severe load mismatches. Your transmitter remains fully protected without shutting down, even at VSWRs greater than 65:1 at 5 dB of compression.


Advanced Temperature Protection

Unlike compact models prone to rapid failure, our 2kW system uses two large amplifier enclosures to eliminate concentrated hot spots. This efficient heat dissipation effectively doubles the unit's lifespan.

Extreme Climate Safe: Active temperature monitoring automatically scales back power if ambient temperatures exceed +40°C, ensuring your equipment never overheats in tropical or desert installations.
