BW Broadcast TR300 V3 FM Translator

BW Broadcast TR300 V3 FM Translator

The TR300 V3 pulls in weak signals and re-broadcasts with amazing clarity thanks to it‘s DSP receiver and ultra low distortion modulator, even at the most challenging translator sites.Because it’s a ‘single box’ solution it‘s faster and easier to set-up, and will save you space and money, in purchasing & maintenance.

The new V3 Translator range now comes with the latest Direct to Channel Digital Modulation. This revolutionary product combines our V3 transmitters with an inbuilt DSP re-broadcast receiver to bring you an outstanding translator solution. This 300W, 2U FM Translator is the perfect piece of equipment for you. Built in 4-band DSP audio processing, Ethernet control, RDS Encoder and FSK IDer, GPS inputs for SFN applications, Hot swap PSU and a whole lot more.

The TR300 V3 combines the technology from the RBRX Encore re-broadcast receiver and the V3 transmitters. Both products are ‘highly regarded’ by the radio industry. So you are guaranteed a reliable product with amazing sound. It is packed with features to guarantee amazing sound quality, reliability and reception.The tuners audio and RF bandwidths can be adjusted to cope with the most demanding applications. The receiver can handle strong signals at transmitter sites, while transparently picking up distant broadcast signals with ease.

Now with a DDS exciter, the TR300 V3 takes the legendary and clean exciters of earlier models with it’s ultra-low distortion modulator to a new level.The TR300 V3 has an integrated DSP re-broadcast receiver, and multi-band DSPX audio processor that means stations without a dedicated processor sound great, right out of the box. This market leading DSP based multi-channel audio processor has been designed to give you a major market signature sound on a budget. With both four band program dependent limiting and wide band AGC with intelligent gating, parametric EQ and shelf bass enhancement, multi band distortion controlled clipper and a powerful composite clipper with pilot protection. All this allows you to tailor your sound for maximum impact.

For years, our transmitters have been the most intelligent on the market with standard Ethernet Remote Control. Featuring a built-in web browser, with no software to install and no reliance on flash support, the V3 platform gives you easy access to setup and monitoring such as Email Alerts, SNMP monitoring, Silence Detection, Advanced Alarms. The unit will email you if it has a problem, and keep a log of any issues to be investigated. You can also adjust settings remotely if required. All these features are designed to give you peace of mind and save you time.

A standard, configurable parallel GPI/O interface is provided for interfacing to your station remote control equipment. This will alert you to issues and offer solutions to keep you on air. For example, it can be configured to switch on back-up audio or back-up transmitters should it detect a problem. All V3 products have inputs and outputs you would come to expect of with a premium Transmitter. Featuring AES3 audio or composite/ MPX over AES192, analog left and right, and 2 configurable composite (MPX) program inputs and outputs. Composite inputs and outputs can be configured as MPX, SCA, RDS or Pilot Sync.

FSK ID Keyer as standard for translators removes the need for external hardware or hourly audible announcements and offers broadcasters a one-box solution for their translator sites.Integrated Static RDS is now standard on-board.

External reference support for both 1pps and 10MHz GPS sync inputs are at the rear of the unit, letting you integrate with other products for an SFN (single frequency network) environment.Hot-pluggable, simple to replace switch-mode power supplies have an extremely wide AC input range and 95% efficiency. Combining rocksolid reliability, performance and simple maintenance to keep you on the air.
