Anyone Using An FM Transmitter?
Onhwy61, which model are you using. I have a cheapo FM transmitter that is pretty much useless and have been in search of something that will work. I see a couple on amazon. My need is confined to my shop, so that I can broadcast to my hearing protectors with FM rececption. The models on amazon start at about 45.oo and work their way up. |
I use a Ramsey FM30b. The manufacturer sells it as a kit or you can find fully assembled units on-line for around $300. They do show up occasionally used for around $125-150. I looked at the sub $100 ones on Amazon and was turned off by the user comments about sound quality and coverage area. |
FM, by decree of the FCC, is restricted to 30Hz to 15k. Not to mention that the SNR, in the best situation, is 70 dB. I guess what I am saying is, if you are listening to a baseball game over it, great, but you could kill the sound of an otherwise fantastic system by feeding it FM transmitted audio. |
