ECRESO 1kW – AiO Series FM Transmitter

The Ecreso FM 1kW from the AiO Series is the latest generation of FM transmitters, designed to lower the Total Cost of Ownership.

The new AiO series delivers the highest efficiency on the market. In its standard operations, broadcasters benefit from up to 76% efficiency (AC to RF) and when the patented SmartFM technology is activated, they can further reduce their energy consumption by up to 40%.

The AiO Series also brings together the expertise of APT and Audemat into a compact 2U chassis, resulting in a unique APT IP Decoder and a full RDS encoder.

Additional features such as the direct-to-channel digital modulator and a 5-band sound processor complete this flagship FM transmitter.

SmartFM Artificial Intelligence

SmartFM, a worldwide patented technology for FM transmitters that revolutionizes FM radio broadcasting and brings massive benefits to broadcasters, radios, and their audience of listeners.
→ Lowers energy costs up to 40% thanks to electricity savings and reduced cooling
→ Reduces CO2 emissions for a cleaner, more sustainable environment

APT IP Decoder 

The AiO Series benefits from the famous experience of APT, and embeds an APT IP Decoder as a software.

With the APT IP Decoder, benefit from:

• The highest audio & MPX fidelity with state-of-the-art compression, including APTmpX.
• The always-on SureStream redundancy that enables broadcasters to turn imperfect, but much cheaper services, into true broadcast-grade IP connections.
• Interoperability with N/ACIP codecs

Audemat RDS Encoder

After the worldwide success of FMB80, WorldCast Systems has integrated its RDS expertise into the Ecreso FM transmitters from AiO series.

This feature is available in two versions :
