The OMB FM Translator provides efficient FM signal relay and coverage extension with DSP audio processing, modular solid-state design, and full remote control.
Product Description:
The OMB FM Translator is a high-efficiency FM rebroadcast transmitter engineered for professional broadcasters who need reliable coverage extension and signal relay. Designed to receive and retransmit an existing FM signal, it ensures consistent, high-quality reception in areas affected by distance, terrain, or interference. Built on OMB’s proven solid-state RF platform, this translator offers excellent performance, low maintenance, and dependable 24/7 operation.
Developed for low-power broadcast networks, the OMB FM Translator maintains the integrity of the original program source. Its advanced DSP stereo coder delivers clear, low-distortion sound that meets the highest broadcast standards. With intelligent MOSFET amplification, it achieves exceptional AC-to-RF efficiency while providing comprehensive protection against VSWR, over-temperature, and overcurrent conditions.
The translator’s modular design allows fast maintenance and easy scalability, ensuring reduced downtime and long-term serviceability. Network monitoring is available via TCP/IP, SNMP, and RS-232, providing precise telemetry and remote control for engineers. The intuitive front-panel display presents forward power, temperature, and system alarms for simple on-site operation.
Compact and efficient, the OMB FM Translator fits neatly into a 19-inch rack and features temperature-controlled cooling fans for reliable operation under demanding conditions. Whether for FM relay, translator, or gap-filler applications, it guarantees consistent, professional signal coverage.
