Product Overview

The DEVA DB9000-STC – Stereo Generator with RDS/RBDS Encoder is a fully digital 32‑bit DSP FM stereo generator designed for precise MPX generation and advanced RDS branding in professional FM broadcast chains. It combines accurate stereo encoding, flexible RDS/RBDS and intelligent backup audio playback in a single 1U unit for main transmitters and network hubs.

A high‑performance DSP engine in the DEVA DB9000-STC stereo generator with RDS/RBDS encoder delivers excellent stereo separation, low distortion and stable pilot and subcarrier generation. The integrated RDS/RBDS encoder supports static and dynamic PS, Radiotext, PI, PTY, TA/TP and AF lists, with word‑based parsing for scrolling messages and real‑time updates over TCP/IP, RS‑232 or UECP. Pilot, L‑R and RDS injection, pre‑emphasis and phase alignment are all adjustable so engineers can optimise loudness and coverage.

The DB9000-STC accepts balanced analog and AES/EBU digital audio and provides wideband MPX outputs to drive FM exciters directly. A built‑in web interface, SNMP, RS‑232 and GPIOs give full remote control, alarm monitoring and integration with automation systems. If the main programme feed fails, the internal backup audio player automatically switches to audio files stored on the SD card, keeping your station on the air until the primary source is restored.

Engineered for continuous 24/7 operation, the DEVA DB9000-STC – Stereo Generator with RDS/RBDS Encoder is housed in a rugged 1U rack chassis with universal mains supply, low heat output and firmware‑upgradable architecture. For broadcasters needing a reliable FM stereo generator with full RDS/RBDS encoder functionality and automatic backup audio, the DB9000-STC is a solid choice at the heart of any FM transmission system.
