This transmitter is the little brother to our 100 watt transmitter. Using a 150W transistor only running at 50 watts gives it reliability and dependability beyond all imagination. This transmitter is available as a super silent version, see below for details.
What is SUPER SILENT? it means it's as quiet as a mouse and can use it in a live mic studio without background noise. Check the video demonstration. If you want SUPER SILENT option, ADD TO CART here.
This is the most popular version because it includes everything in one enclosure. The audio processing keeps the audio level 'LOUD', but not too loud whereby it causes over deviation and contravenes your permit. The trick is to get the sound as loud as possible so you can compete with the other stations on the dial, but at the same time keeping your signal legal. This is a tricky balance to maintain, but this version in stereo with our internal audio processers does exactly this. More Information HERE.
As an optional extra this transmitter is available with dynamic and programable RDS fitted. If you want RDS option please (rds-upgrade) ADD TO CART
On delivery the equipment is ready to plug in and use with any suitable 50 ohm antenna system such as our:
• SINGLE DIPOLE
• 4.8dBi 2 DIPOLES
• 7.8dBi 4 DIPOLES
• 10.8dBi 8 DIPOLES
• 4.8dBi 5/8 ANTENNA
• -0.8dBi CIRC. DIPOLE
• Folded Dipole
Our system package the 50W EIRP system includes this transmitter with a dipole antenna and very low loss LMR400 cable to give you a full system that will comply with the regulations of the European Union and most other countries in the world.

This transmitter uses a 150 watt mosfet device in it's output only running at 50 watts, this makes it HYPER reliable, it's like a Ferrari on tick over. It will never break and it will handle any amount of antenna faults, high VSWR or reflected power.
The enclosure is made in strong 16 gauge steel, powder coated and baked in satin black. This leaves a tough, durable surface that will never rot or corrode and be cleaned to shine for decades. The front panel is 19 inch across and 2U (3.5 inch) high with a depth of 12 inches, so it will fit with ease into a standard rack. It is very strong and difficult to damage even under extreme handling.
The frequency and power level is easy to change, but not so easy that somebody with no experience can just press a button on the front, that would be too easy and dangerous. We reached a compromise with this, we placed these controls on the underside of the unit. To get to them, just slide the unit out of the rack, flip it over and the little dip switches will allow you to change the frequency and a trim pots for the power and deviation level.
The stereo version with audio processing and limiting meets all the regulatory standards required out of the box and pre configured. In fact if you send us a copy of your permit and it's conditions, we will set it up exactly to the specification. This equipment complies with EU/CE harmonised standards and FCC technical requirements for FM broadcasting. More information HERE
