One of our earliest success stories was definitely the PC based FM transmitter. It was so revolutionary at the time it was even mentioned in the PLAYBOY (Yes, playboy!!!) magazine, published in the US issue in June, 2002. Playboy has technical news sometimes.
PLAYBOY magazine, June 2002
This is the article that was published in the June issue of the Playboy magazine:
The card at the time was quite rudimentary and we have later hugely improved it. Today you can still buy our PC based stereo FM transmitter card, the current somewhat old generation is called PCIMAX3000.
What is PCIMAX3000+?
PCIMAX3000+ is a computer card that will change the way you either do radio or listen to your MP3’s or other audio via PC. It will effectively change your PC into a powerful broadcast worthy stereo FM radio station, it is a small digital FM transmitter in a form of a PC card. You will be able to play your audio files (CD, wav, MP3, real audio etc.) from your PC through radio waves directly to your household radio receiver in the next room, in the living room, across your yard, in whole block of flats….or for the entire village/small city. You need just an ordinary radio receiver to receive your signal. The included software lets you set the frequency and the output power. You can either service your living room, garden or an entire community. Get rid of those pesky cables!
How do I install PCIMAX?
It can never be easier that this. Install this card into your PC as you would any other PC card. Install software and you’re ready to broadcast! Software gives you full control over frequency and power. Coupled with MP3 player and radio scheduling plugins this becomes a fully automated
radio station! Perfect for fully automated guided tours, small scale advertising, wireless link from your PC to your stereo in the living room, wireless headsets for translated/interpreted lectures or even a medium size radio station. Since its PLL/VCO is very clean and it also has extensive filtering you can add amplifiers to this transmitters, but be sure to check your local laws governing radio transmissions.
What do you think about these cards? Would you like us to bring out a new, upgraded version with latest technology?
Let us know what you think.
