PCS Electronics CYBERMAX AM+ SE 1000W AM Transmitter

PCS CYBERMAX AM SE 1000W provides high-power MW or SW AM transmission with DSP audio processing, PWM modulation and browser-based remote control.

Product overview

The PCS CYBERMAX AM+ SE 1000W AM Transmitter is a high-power solid-state transmitter designed for medium-wave and shortwave broadcasting. Based on the AMMAX8000 exciter platform, it combines DSP audio control, DDS frequency generation and PWM-based modulation in a 2U rack format for dependable AM service. Unlike higher-power models with fully PWM final stages, this version uses PWM modulation in the exciter followed by a linear amplifier, balancing compact design with practical 1000W peak output. It fits naturally into AM transmitters deployments and complements the wider PCS Electronics product line.

Key features

  • Approx. 1000W peak AM output for MW or selected SW operation
  • Solid-state PWM modulator with linear RF amplifier stage
  • DSP audio chain with compressor, limiter, bass, treble and low-pass control
  • More than 125% positive modulation capability for higher loudness efficiency
  • DDS frequency generation with 1 kHz tuning steps
  • Graphic LCD interface with menu system for setup and adjustment
  • USB or optional Ethernet remote control from a Windows PC
  • Band-specific output filtering for improved spectral performance

Connectivity and I/O

The transmitter accepts mono or stereo program input, summed internally for AM transmission, through XLR, RCA and USB audio connections. RF output is available on N female or 7/16 female connectors with 50 ohm impedance. MW coverage is 530–2000 kHz, while SW versions cover 1–50 MHz or selected amateur-style shortwave bands depending on the ordered configuration.

In operation

In daily use, the transmitter is straightforward to manage from its front-panel LCD or via connected PC control software. Engineers can adjust audio processing, monitor RF behaviour and schedule RF on/off operation where needed. Its 2U format, wide frequency coverage and solid-state architecture make it suitable for community, educational, experimental and specialist AM broadcast applications requiring more headroom than low-power units.
