Can't comment on kit building since I bought a used assembled unit.
Anyone Using An FM Transmitter?
Specifically to distribute music around the house. I recently started using a Ramsey transmitter and I couldn't be happier. I have complete coverage of the property with very high quality sound (had to figure out how not to over modulate in order to get good sound). Compared to the previous computer network based methods I had tried, the FM transmitter is more reliable, covers a larger area and requires less equipment. It's also easier to use for the technically challenged in the house.
Fortunately I live in an area with unused FM frequencies and my neighbors are not that nearby. Not sure it would work well in crowded urban areas, or in apartment/condos, but for others FM transmitters might be well worth investigating.

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. |
