BW Broadcast TX1000 V3 FM Transmitter

BW Broadcast TX1000 1000 Watt V3 FM Transmitter

This 1000W FM transmitter is perfect for LPFM stations, community stations, emergency broadcast kits,military applications or as a truly reliable back-up transmitter or exciter for national broadcasters.
Whatever the application, the TX1000 V3 will take it in its stride.The built in 4-band DSPX audio processing,eliminate the need for a separate processor saving
you. Monitor and control this transmitter using,just about, any method you can think of. Sleep easy at night with a whole host of maintenance friendly, stress busting features.

Now with a DDS exciter, the TX1000 V3 takes the legendary and clean exciters of earlier models with it’s ultra-low distortion modulator to a new level. The TX1000 V3 has an integrated 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).
