Overview – Suono Telecom ESVB2K 2000 Watt FM transmitter

The Suono Telecom ESVB2K 2000 Watt FM transmitter is a compact, high‑efficiency 2 kW solution for broadcasters needing robust main or backup coverage in the 87.5–108 MHz band. This transmitter combines direct carrier modulation, front‑panel control and LAN or IP connectivity in a rugged 3U 19‑inch chassis. RF output is adjustable from low power up to 2000 W, allowing accurate alignment with licensed ERP and antenna system limits.

The Suono Telecom ESVB2K supports mono and composite MPX operation with optional stereo encoder and RDS modules, so it integrates cleanly with modern audio processors and STL links. High efficiency and a power factor close to 0.95 at 220 VAC help reduce electrical and cooling costs at transmitter sites. Designed for demanding environments, the transmitter operates across a wide temperature range and at high altitudes, making it suitable for remote or mountain‑top installations.

RF performance and protection

RF power is set from the front‑panel encoder in 10 W steps, giving precise control during commissioning and maintenance. The ESVB2K covers 87.5–108 MHz as standard, with options for OIRT and Japanese bands, and feeds a 50 Ω antenna system through a 7/16″ RF connector. Internal low‑pass and band‑defining filters provide good spectral purity to meet typical ETSI, CCIR and FCC limits for harmonics and spurious emissions.

To protect the RF chain, the Suono Telecom ESVB2K includes automatic VSWR fold‑back, allowing safe operation into moderate mismatch. A high‑stability internal TCXO reference offers tight frequency stability, keeping the carrier accurately on channel. Forward and reflected power, temperature and alarm conditions are shown on the OLED display and can be supervised remotely via RS485 ports and the built‑in LAN web server.

Audio/MPX and applications

The audio section accepts balanced L/R analog, unbalanced composite MPX, AES/EBU digital audio plus SCA and RDS inputs, allowing mono or stereo/MPX chains without extra converters. Mono mode provides selectable input impedance with adjustable level and flat response from 30 Hz to 15 kHz, while composite mode offers wideband flatness to 100 kHz with low distortion. Typical applications include regional and city‑wide services, commercial and public broadcasters and N+1 systems where 2 kW transmitters share antennas and redundancy infrastructure.

Alternatives and upgrade path

For similar power in a stereo/MPX configuration, engineers can consider the
Eurotel ETL2000 2 kW stereo FM transmitter, or the
RFE Broadcast AS2000 2 kW FM transmitter, which uses a different platform while maintaining comparable RF performance. For higher power or future expansion, pairing this transmitter with suitable RF amplification stages from the Suono Telecom range allows scalable multi‑kilowatt systems. To compare other power levels and architectures, engineers can explore the complete range of
FM Fransmitters and design main and standby chains that match present coverage needs while leaving clear upgrade paths.
