Experience CD-quality audio performance with this high-end exciter, delivering clear, transparent sound thanks to a 90dB signal/noise ratio, ultra-low distortion, and 60dB stereo separation. Designed as an independent exciter with adjustable power output (0-100%), it features an isofrequency board (SFN) and ITU-compliant limiter for controlled spectrum emissions.
Built with a durable stainless steel chassis (2U rack), it offers easy microprocessor control via a large LCD and optical encoder. Connectivity includes analog (L/R, mono), MPX, SCA/RDS, and digital inputs (S/PDIF, TOSLINK, AES/EBU). A built-in stereo coder and digital RDS encoder (UECP) enhance functionality.
Ensuring reliable operation, it includes Fold-Back VSWR protection and IAMLC for stable modulation. Easy maintenance and full EC/FCC/CCIR compliance make it a professional-grade solution for broadcast excellence.
