FT12K-D - 12000 W FM Digital Transmitter designed with the latest LDMOS transistors, which ensures high efficiency. Operational costs, heat and cooling costs, maintenance costs are reduced, and life span is increased.

FT12K-D - 12000 W FM Digital Transmitter equipped with Analog Audio, AES/EBU, MPX, I²S inputs. Which are converted to digital signals and modulated in an FPGA with excellent software algorithms to FM band with the extremely low noise level.

Direct to channel modulator provides very high signal quality, crystal clear audio and unbeatable performance.

Remote Control

The FT12K-D - 12000 W FM Digital Transmitter is shipping with its easy to use Cloud-enabled remote control system. The device can be managed and controlled via its web server and Onair Service Center. With the 3G/4G USB stick connection port, you have complete access to the device via Onair Service Center even in the rural areas which have a mobile phone signal.

Built-in RDS Encoder

The RDS encoder comes with a web protocol that is compatible with most of the radio automation software. This allows real-time broadcasting song/singer information automatically.

Silence Detector

FT12K-D - 12000 W FM Digital Transmitter’s silence detector, detects silence on the inputs according to the specified threshold level. It can either notify you and can trigger the audio backup feature.

Audio Backup

Supporting several types of Backup sources, upon audio loss, FT12K-D - 12000 W FM Digital Transmitter will switch between the sources (Analog Audio Input, AES/EBU, MPX, I²S, IP Audio Client, Integrated Audio Player) on the prearranged configurations (Silence time, silence level).

IP Audio

FT12K-D - 12000 W FM Digital Transmitter has an integrated audio processor that can decode Shoutcast, Icecast, HE-AAC v1/v2, MPEG-1 Layer 3 compressed audio streams, OGG compressed audio streams, and lossless uncompressed PCM streams, over IP networks. Even with behind NAT connections, 3G/4G connections and Firewalled connections, FT12K-D - 12000 W FM Digital Transmitter provides high sound quality without the need for user interference.

Integrated Audio Player

FT12K-D - 12000 W FM Digital Transmitter supports MP1, MP2, MP3, OGG, AAC, HE-AAC, MPEG-4 ALS, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, Musepack, Speex, WAVE file formats. With the 8 Gb total storage capacity, you can store approximately 1000 hours of audio recordings.

E-Mail and SMS Notifications

In case of any warning or error, the device sends E-Mail and/or SMS notifications to specified email addresses and phone numbers.

N+1 Redundancy System

FT12K-D - 12000 W FM Digital Transmitter is ready for the N+1 Redundancy System. The backup device automatically goes online immediately, when the master goes offline.

Brand new transmitter design comes with industry-leading improvements!

• LCD Touchscreen Control
• Stainless steel very rugged case
• Easy maintenance and service
• Hot-swappable current sharing power supply units
• Easy to change / clean air filter

With the improved touchscreen software, all information about transmitters running state can be seen in one screen. Configuration, and getting help is on the same screen.

RF part, DC part, and RF Filter can be accessed by separated covers. This allows for easy maintenance and service.

Hot-swappable power supply units are both making your transmitter run all the time and also simplifying service processes. Even with two power supply units failed, the remaining two power supplies are enough for the transmitter to run full power.

Most of the transmitter failures are from cooling system failures, which is caused by dust. Dust damages fans and blocks air circulation, but not with the brand new design. Easy to remove air filter helps, changing or cleaning it in a few minutes, and all these processes are happening while the transmitter is running.

Hot-Swap PSU

High redundancy by swappable PSU

No more interruption due to power supplies. You can change the power supply even while broadcasting.
