Integrated digital stereo signal generator, excellent audio, on-board RDS
The new STMAX 9000+ series FM exciters combine more features into a small board than ever before. With digital modulator, on-board stereo and RDS and all of this full controllable via LCD display with new 2-level MENU system and availability in 15W, 25W, 50W and 100W formats all powered from 12-15V this board represents realization of dreams for most prospective radio station builders.
The design is similar to MAXPRO8015+ and also looks quite similar at first glance, however it comes with on-board integrated digital stereo encoder with RDS. The result is a rugged and solid FM exciter with completely flat power output across the entire FM band at 15W, 25W, 50W or 100W designed to run silently 24/7. Since the new design featuring larger heatsink was so much better and completely stable we were able to add 50W and 100W models. Your dream FM exciter is a reality right now!

How is STMAX9000 series different from the older STMAX3015 series?
– DIP switch mode supported, works also without LCD
– Greatly improved stability and reliability
– Massive heatsink for 50W and 100W versions
– Completely rewritten software
– Can be controlled entirely via RS232 (no LCD unit required for this) terminal or your control unit, see photos below.
– 0.5W power limit jumper (in addition to 1W, 2W, 4W and 8W)
– New better modern output stage
– Improved output filter
– BNC or MCX antenna output connector (N, SO239-CB and BNC pigtails are available, they plug into MCX)
– Firmware of RF board is now upgradeable (requires USB to serial converter – our RS323 IO board)
– Compatible with old STMAX3015 board, audio input board and display, they will work
How is STMAX different from MAXPRO series?
-Vgrajeni stereo in RDS kodirniki.
– Integrated digital stereo and RDS modulators. This ensures very good audio, but creates spurious artefacts about -50dBc
- Vsi parametri, nastavljivi z LCD, vključno z RDS RT, PS, PI in drugimi
– MAPRO line is for professional setups, the signal in STMAX is not as clean
– Can’t be used with MPX STL links as there is no MPX input that MAXPRO series has

Controlling STMAX9000 RF board via RS232 terminal (LCD not required)
The RF board board can be controlled with your own LCD display or computer via RS232. All you need is a terminal, the command syntax is very simple. For this to work you do not need any LCD display unit as RS232 port is on RF board itself. The protocol is very simple, this photo explains it all. The pinout of the RS232 header is explained on the board itself. Here is the manual explaining controlling STMAX3015 micro through serial port.
Advanced graphics display with VU meter and web control interface
This is our new advanced high performance graphics OLED display with many incredible new features that older units did not support. First of all, it offers a large graphics OLED display, it connects to internet via Ethernet and than lets you control the unit via web browser (no windows software needed anymore), it lets you update firmware of the display and attached modules which before was not possible, each display comes with two-color bright VU meter, rotary button, and aluminum front panel with plexiglass. Advanced menu system lets you set everything either from the display itself or the web interface. This is of course an optional item. For extensive manual look down under Additional Information tab. Any questions send us an email.
What is the RS232/USB IO board and why do I need it? NOT NEEDED WITH OLED DISPLAY!
IO board is required, if you want to control STMAX9000+ remotely via PC. It plugs into the LCD control module and gives you USB port making it possible to connect STMAX card to PC computer and control it remotely. IO board is also needed to upgrade firmware of STMAX RF board.
OLED graphics display has its own IO board and does not require IO board! It has its own Ethernet adapter.
What is the Ethernet remote control module for? NOT NEEDED WITH OLED DISPLAY!
This add-on card lets you connect this transmitter to the PC via Ethernet network. You can control and monitor the status of your transmitter over Ethernet or Internet. This is of course an optional item. This card requires RS232/USB IO as it plugs into it.
Graphics LCD display has its own USB and Ethernet IO board and does not require extra IO board or ethernet module.
Za kaj je plošča za avdio vhod?
This add-on card adds two XLR balanced inputs and two RCA connectors plus USB audio input. It also comes with extra low pass filter, limiter and a jumper for optional external audio input (from mp3 player or something else). The inputs are ESD protect and have RF filters. This is of course an optional item but it is highly recommended and it does make life easier as you can install exciter far from the audio input connectors. It will improve sound as well, sometimes dramatically.
There is also AES/EBU version of this board!
Kaj je programska oprema+IOBOARD za spreminjanje logotipa?
This is a combination of special unlocked version of software and RS232 IO board, which is required to control STMAX9000+ remotely via PC/RS232. It plugs into the LCD control module. Software lets you change welcome text (logo); you can replace that text with your company name for example. Your customized text will be saved and used at every power-up. This is of course an optional item. Works only with classic LCD displays, not the new graphic OLED.
Kaj je modifikacija s programsko opremo za 76-108MHz?
To je mikrokontroler IC s spremenjeno programsko opremo, ki omogoča enotam STMAX, da delujejo od 76MHz do 108MHz. Če želite to uporabiti, morate odstraniti originalni IC iz nadzornega modula LCD (je v vtičnici) in namestiti tega spremenjenega. Frekvenčno območje se bo takoj razširilo. Kadar koli se lahko vrnete na standardni IC. Ta izdelek je mogoče kupiti ločeno in bo deloval tudi z enotami STMAX, ki ste jih kupili v preteklosti (razen če so res stare). Prepričajte se, da vzamete pravilno različico za vaš zaslon! Pomembno: LCD prikazuje manjšo moč, kot je dejansko na voljo pod 76MHz. Tudi dejanska izhodna moč je lahko nekoliko nižja pod 87MHz, koliko je odvisno od plošče, vendar običajno približno 20-30% manj pri 76MHz. Tudi sam LCD bo pokazal manjšo moč, kot se dejansko prenaša. Zato ne pozabite, da bo vaš zaslon prikazal morda 5 W, vendar bo oddanih 10-12 W.
What is the Empty enclosure for STMAX9000 for?
This is a very practical enclosure with all holes predrilled. You can install the STMAX9000 inside. It even has a heatsink so it will accept even the 25W, 50W or 100W version. A fan is not included, use 80×80 fan. Holes for the LCD are predrilled as well. No text or brand name is printed anywhere on this box. Look at the video below:
What else should I buy to construct a big 1000W or 2000W or higher transmitter?
Vsem uporabnikom res priporočamo te izdelke:
– Any of these palete tukaj lahko za njih kupite napajalnik tukaj, don’t forget a filter (serija LPFMAX je idealna).
– Stereo encoder, any of te bo naredil. SE8000 je idealen zaradi MAXLINK II.
– A rack enclosure from 1H to 3H, with fans, accessories and more…
– Use PTFE RG142 50 ohm koaksialni za notranje povezave znotraj vašega stojala (PTFE koaksialni je lažji za delo, se ne stopi, ko je vroč). Prepričajte se, da so vsi vodi koaksialnega kabla zelo kratki.
