Description

A COMPLETE ALL-INCLUSIVE PACKAGE GETS YOU ON AIR IN MINUTES!

This package is based on our CyberMaxFM+ BE+ rack mounted FM transmitter series for demanding broadcasters operating in the 87.5 to 108MHz band. The new Black Edition (BE+) series FM exciter brings completely new advanced graphics display with many new features such as web control interface, ethernet connectivity, two-color VU meter, smooth rotary button operation and full control over every aspect including RDS. Sharp low pass filter, great stereo separation, fantastic reliability and tight MPX control with several limiters were carried over from the previous models. With this new OLED display and new great looking enclosures with improved ventilation it seemed completely logical that warranty period would be extended to 5 years **.

This unit is perfect for demanding broadcasters. No tuning is necessary, design is entirely wideband. All you have to do is set the frequency and output power, the rest is optional. SWR, temperature and polarity protection make it difficult to destroy the unit. Unit is housed in a brand-new 3H professional 19″ rack, new design is lighter and RF tight (does not leak RF). It is rugged and made for 24/7/365 operation. Each unit has a wide-angle high contrast OLED display.

Those who use streaming sources to stream your audio will be happy to hear that as an option we also offer industry – standard streaming service receiver which also reads MP3 files from USB port at the back. What is even cooler is that the name of the stream or song name (if transmitted by stream operators) will be displayed on the display and also sent out with RDS. Instructions how to set this up are in the manual for the LCD display.

Package contains transmitter, an antenna, coaxial cable and all connectors. A perfect FM transmitter for a regular licensed radio station, medium size radio station, campus radio or a religious radio. Also very suitable for Africa and other remote locations. Protected with Temp and SWR protection. The best value for your money.

RANGE
It is never easy to predict range. Exact range depends a lot on terrain configuration, type of antenna and especially the location of the antenna, coaxial cable quality and length and of course quality of receivers. Check this link to get a rough idea of factors involved.

WHAT’S INCLUDED?
– CyberMaxFM+ transmitter (MPX version, make sure to add DSP stereo and RDS options if you want stereo and RDS)
– USB cable
– Short Ethernet cable
– Mains power cable is without connector/plug, this needs to be installed or wired directly. Certified electrician is required for this. Especially in situations with 110V mains voltage the current can exceed 30A!
– An antenna (several choices below)
– 10m of coaxial cable with matching connectors installed

Note: This transmitter ships with different optional antennas:
Note: This transmitter ships with five optional antennas:
– Package A: 3/4 high gain 3/4 wave exterminator antenna with 10m of Belden H-2000 flex or equivalent coaxial cable and all connectors
– Package B: 1000W wideband GP antenna with mounting aid, easy to install and no tuning needed across the band, with 10m of Belden H500 or equivalent coaxial cable and all connectors
– Package C: One professional wideband dipole antenna with 10m of Belden H-2000 flex or equivalent coaxial cable and all connectors
– Package D: Two professional wideband dipole antennas with 2-way splitter with 10m of Belden H-2000 flex or equivalent coaxial cable and all connectors
– Package E: Four professional wideband dipole antennas with 4-way splitter with 10m of Belden H-2000 flex or equivalent coaxial cable and all connectors

What parameters can I change via remote control?
Frequency, output power, various alarms, network parameters, time settings, audio input selection and levels, DSP parameter and RDS settings can be changed via Ethernet in web browser. No software installation is needed, just connect your transmitter to local Ethernet and open web browser to access all the settings. Check the manual for more info. Below is a small sample of the interface.

How do I wire up the transmitter, antenna and audio sources?
Look at the image below (click to enlarge) for an example of a nice radio station with some studio items. At the bottom of this page look for the links to other items that you can use to setup your radio station (WHAT ELSE WILL I NEED AND IT WASN’T INCLUDED? and WHAT CAN I USE AS AUDIO SOURCE?).

What is RDS?
Radio Data System, basically it displays station name and sometimes song name and similar information on a compatible radio receiver. Very popular in Europe and also in the US.

IP audio streaming with MP3 playout from USB
This add-on card lets you receive internet audio streams or play MP3 files from USB drive. This is basically industry-standard Barix IP module inside your transmitter. Especially cool is that the stream source often also transmits song name and when this is the case the RDS encoder can also transmit song name and it can be displayed on the LCD. Read the manual to see how this is done. The Ethernet remote control part is not used here as the BE series has its own Ethernet interface in the front panel already.

What is MicroMPX IP stream receiver
MicroMPX is IP STL (studio-to-transmitter audio link) codec, specifically designed for FM radio. It doesn’t cause typical lossy codec artifacts (pre/post ringing, watery sound), and perfectly maintains peak control, even when using composite clipping. This eliminates the need to have an expensive high end audio processor at the transmitter site.
It transports complete MPX signal with RDS to your transmitter via internet. Stereo Tool software is needed in your studio to transmit the stream to your FM transmitters.

Worried about signal quality? Don’t be!

 WHAT CAN I USE AS AUDIO SOURCE?
– A high quality mixer with telephone hybrids, such as this very popular mixer from D&R or perhaps another popular mixer also from D&R
– Professional broadcasting microphone with noise-free stand,
– Your PC. Just plug audio cable into your sound card.  And playback software such as this one. There are others such as Raduga, Jazler…
– CD player, MP3 player or any other music reproduction system
– STL audio to transmitter link to send your audio to some remote location  via Internet or wirelessly.

WHAT ELSE WILL I NEED AND IT WASN’T INCLUDED?
– Some transmitters require mains plug which can be purchased in your country (each country has a different mains plug and we don’t carry all). This is standard mains plug and its price is typically around 1 US$ or less. You can get it in any electronics store, such as radio shack, circuit city, any computer store etc. Always use grounded plug for your safety!
– Radio Essentials Kit contains various connectors and adapters plus an AA-230 ZOOM antenna analyzer , every stations should have these at hand at any time.
– Audio source, you can read more about this above
– Coaxial cable grounding kits can be purchased here, they ensure lightning protection when used with grounded antennas. They should be installed at the antenna (if needed, most dipoles are grounded), at the tower base and at the point of entrance into building.
– Also use self-sealing tape which turns into rubber and prevents moisture from entering your connectors and coaxial cable.

(V3 brings Expander functionality which can be used to boost quiet audio. Default setting of 1:1 means expander is disabled, a setting of 1:2 gives maximum boost. This function is great for drive-in cinemas to boost quiet sections a little bit.)

Here's a program to control this unit remotely with a PC(RS232 or USB) for SE+ V3:
