Featured Products
TX FM Transmitter Family
The new BW Broadcast V3 FM Transmitter range now features advanced Direct to Channel Digital Modulation. It is built for FM and LPFM stations that want reliable performance without added complexity. Each transmitter includes 4-band DSP audio processing, Ethernet control, an RDS encoder with FSK IDer, GPS inputs for SFN setups, and hot-swap power supplies for fast on-site maintenance. The high-efficiency switch-mode PSUs are 96 percent efficient and simple to replace, keeping your station on the air with minimal downtime.
The V3 series is available in 5W, 30W, 50W, 150W, 300W, 600W, and 1000W models.
Ariane Encore Audio Leveler
The Ariane Encore gives competitive streamers a fresh tool in the audio processing toolbox. Building on the success of the Ariane Sequel, it takes everything users loved about the original and moves it forward.
The Encore keeps the same clean, transparent audio leveling the line is known for, now powered by modern DSP technology. It works by sending audio through a sum and difference matrix, creating two signals: the combined left and right channels (L + R) and their difference (LR).
RDS Encoder
Designed to work seamlessly with our V3 FM Transmitter range, the RDS Encoder makes broadcast upgrades simple and efficient by supporting every RDS parameter and offering full UECP compliance for dynamic, real-time messaging. It connects via USB or serial, integrates easily with automation systems for smooth updates, and is perfect for live track titles, station IDs, and promotional content.
It also works with Magic RDS software, giving you powerful control over configuration and management. Altogether, it delivers reliable performance, flexible operation, and a stronger listener experience in one streamlined package.
