BE 5 A AM-A Series Transmitters

BE AM Transmitter Series

 The AM Series of solid state transmitters continues the legacy of reliable, efficient, and performance-leading solutions from Broadcast Electronics. The AM Series has been designed for high efficiency to lower operating costs, world-class audio performance, maximum reliability and uptime, simplified and fast field repair, built-in redundancy, and the flexibility to support continued technological updates over time.  Excellent Audio Quality—

Modular Reliability  Broadcast Electronics AM Series transmitters pack huge features into small packages, freeing up valuable floor space, lowering shipping costs, and placing them well ahead of the competition!  The AM Series transmitters produce superior audio quality for your listeners while maximizing reliability and redundancy, protecting your revenue stream from unexpected downtime.  The AM Series are the only transmitters on the market that incorporate multiple regulated power supplies, allowing you to achieve uncompromised redundancy for ultimate on-air reliability. Patented class E power modules save money and add to the bottom line, by achieving unequaled power economy to reduce your overall operational expenses.  With more flexibility than ever before, BE’s AM Series transmitters also give you the ability to operate at 5 user-defined power levels. One transmitter can handle all your power needs, providing the most cost-efficient transmitter in its class. The AM Series transmitters can operate efficiently at both high and lower power levels, maintaining unparalleled performance to accommodate all your day and nighttime power needs.

RF Amplifier Module—The Heart of the Transmitter At the heart of every BE AM Series transmitter is the integrated RF amplifier/ modulator module.  The AM Series employs patented class E power amplifier technology coupled with innovative modulator design to provide robust & efficient analog, HD Radio and DRM operation. The AM Series controller constantly monitors the power supplies and RF amplifiers to automatically  operate the system at the desired power, efficiency and reliability.  Redundant rugged amplifiers and low-loss combiners protect against lightning, antenna system shorts, and high VSWR to keep you on-air. These innovations reduce operating and maintenance costs,  which provide a low total cost of ownership over the life of the transmitter - maximizing your investment. Simple On-Air Serviceability All Broadcast Electronics AM Series transmitters are skillfully designed to provide easy on-air servicing and maintenance. The front panel removable design allows for any needed repair or replacement  to be performed whenever it is convenient, by simple     removal and replacement with a new or repaired module.  Ventilation is provided by redundant brushless ball bearing fans mounted on the rear door with cooling airflow channels across all modules and power supplies for maximum heat removal,      further ensuring cool operation and long term reliability. Regulated Power Supplies—a BE Exclusive Only Broadcast Electronics AM Series transmitters use independently regulated power supplies to power the Amplifier and      Modulator functions in each transmitter.  By using a regulated power supply only BE is able to provide great sounding audio at lower power levels, such as nighttime or critical hours when your station is required to reduce power. We will adjust the power supply—prior to the amplifier and modulator—to operate at very low power yet still delivering the best audio performance      possible. Other designs use simple unregulated supplies and make audio performance impairing adjustments to the modulators to operate at reduce power.  New Advanced Monitor and Control Capability New to the BE AM Series is a updated LCD display and powerful yet simple-to-use browser-based HTML-5 graphical user interface for control and monitoring of the transmitter anywhere in the world. Extensive TCP/IP network connectivity via integrated RJ-45 connection allows the transmitter to be securely connected to any IP network.  The new controller also  provides a comprehensive event log that  captures all transmitter-related activities, operations, and faults storing the 500 most recent activities. This allows for detailed diagnostics and simplified routine maintenance.  The updated control functionality and web GUI  can be added to existing BE AM Seriese Transmitters with a simple to install upgrade kit and front panel. 

BE AM: Rock Solid Reliability and Great Sounding Audio  AM 6A The Broadcast Electronics AM family of AM

transmitters has been intelligently designed to offer the perfect combination of  audio quality, reliability, redundancy, serviceability, and efficiency in a compact design. Each transmitter is crafted with superior attention to detail and features the highest quality components. BE AM power amplifier modules are hot-pluggable and all easily accessible saving time on service and maintenance with every part and assembly.  BE AM transmitters represent the most advanced technology in terms of electrical efficiency, compactness, reduced weight, ease of use, and remote monitoring.  They have been designed to guarantee maximum performance and operation while lowering        operational costs through energy saving technology. The Broadcast Electronics AM transmitters achieve high levels of overall electrical , while also providing extremely high operational performance under extreme environmental conditions (high external temperatures, poorly adjusted antenna, fluctuations in the power source).
