The Eddystone XA1000 is a 1000 Watt wideband FM power amplifier that boosts low power exciters to a reliable 1 kW output for continuous professional broadcast operation.
€6,117.00
The Eddystone XA1000 1 kW FM power amplifier provides a compact, high-efficiency RF stage for modern transmitter sites. Housed in a rugged 3U rack-mount chassis, it delivers adjustable RF output from around 250 Watts up to the full 1000 Watt rating, so engineers can match licensed power levels and antenna system requirements without complex retuning.
Covering the full 87.5–108 MHz FM band, the amplifier accepts drive from a suitable FM exciter and produces clean, low-distortion RF for the antenna system. A fresh-air-tunnel cooling design with dual fans and a specially engineered heatsink maintains stable operating temperatures, helping the Eddystone XA1000 run continuously in demanding 24/7 on-air environments while minimising maintenance and airflow obstructions.
Telecom-grade, hot-pluggable switching power supplies are mounted on the front panel for easy access. Configurations with dual supplies provide redundancy, so the amplifier can continue operating if one PSU is removed or fails, a key advantage for critical broadcast services. Integrated protection monitors VSWR, temperature and overdrive conditions, automatically reducing or muting RF output to safeguard the amplifier, power supplies and connected RF hardware in the event of a fault.
An intuitive LCD display shows forward and reflected power, internal voltages and temperatures, supported by clear status LEDs for fast visual checks at the rack. Remote control and monitoring connections allow engineers to mute the carrier, read alarms and integrate the Eddystone XA1000 into wider network supervision systems. For a complete FM transmission chain, combine this 1 kW amplifier with a compatible exciter such as the
Eddystone XE40 FM Exciter,
DB Mozart Next 30 or the
RFE Broadcast DS30.
