Overview – Suono Telecom ESVB3K 3000 Watt FM transmitter

The Suono Telecom ESVB3K 3000 Watt FM transmitter is a compact, high-efficiency 3 kW solution for broadcasters needing strong main or backup coverage in the 87.5–108 MHz band. This transmitter follows the ESVB architecture, combining direct carrier FM modulation, advanced control and telemetry in a rugged 3U 19‑inch chassis. RF output is continuously adjustable from low power up to 3000 W, allowing engineers to align transmitter power precisely with licensed ERP, antenna gain and combiner losses.

The Suono Telecom ESVB3K 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 overall efficiency and optimized power supplies help minimize electrical consumption and cooling load at high‑power FM sites. Designed for continuous service, the Suono Telecom ESVB3K operates across a wide ambient temperature range and is suitable for regional, mountain‑top or coastal installations where access may be limited.

RF performance and protection

RF power on the Suono Telecom ESVB3K is set from the front‑panel encoder, with fine step control for accurate setup during commissioning and maintenance. The ESVB3K covers 87.5–108 MHz and feeds a 50 Ω antenna system via a robust 7/16″ RF connector, making it compatible with most high‑power FM combiners and feeders. Internal low‑pass and band‑defining filters provide excellent spectral purity so harmonics and spurious emissions meet stringent FM broadcast mask requirements.

To protect the RF chain, the Suono Telecom ESVB3K includes automatic VSWR fold‑back and over‑temperature protection, maintaining safe operation under antenna or cooling faults. A high‑stability frequency reference keeps the carrier accurately on channel over time and temperature, while continuous monitoring of forward/reflected power and key alarms is available from the front panel and remote telemetry interfaces.

Audio/MPX and applications

The audio section of the Suono Telecom ESVB3K accepts balanced analog left/right, composite MPX and auxiliary inputs so the transmitter can operate in mono or feed a stereo encoder and RDS chain as required. Audio bandwidth and distortion figures are designed to meet modern FM broadcast standards, preserving the performance of external processing chains. Typical applications include regional programme services, main city transmitters, public and commercial networks and N+1 systems where 3 kW transmitters share antennas and redundancy infrastructure.

Alternatives

Engineers comparing 3 kW transmitters can also consider the
RFE Broadcast DS3000 3 kW FM transmitter, which offers a different platform and feature set. Another option is the
ECRESO FM 3kW transmitter, providing an ESVA chassis with comparable RF performance. For projects where integrated stereo/MPX features are important, the
Sielco EXC3000GX 3 kW FM transmitter delivers alternative processing and control capabilities at a different price point.
