What Equipment Do You Need for a FM Radio Station?

So you’ve been dreaming about running your own radio station, and you have a good idea of what you will broadcast, but how do you know exactly what equipment you’ll need?  While there are endless bells and whistles you can purchase for professional radio broadcasting, there are a few key pieces of equipment you’ll need to get up and running.  Here is a breakdown of the basic equipment:

Transmitter

The transmitter is the key component to any radio broadcast.  It takes your broadcast signal, encodes it, and transmits as radio waves that can be picked up by any receiver. There are several different types of Radio Transmitters available from Progressive Concepts. There are large FM Transmitters for full power Radio Stations and there are medium to low power FM Transmitters such as those used on LPFM radio stations.

Antenna

The antenna sends and receives radio signals. Progressive Concepts can help you determine which FM Antenna is best for your particular application.

Audio Processor

The audio processor improves and optimizes the sound quality.  There are a variety of audio processors available from Progressive Concepts. Most are stand alone processors which are connected to the FM transmitter. This component can be replaced by software on computer-based radio broadcasts.

Mixer

A mixer allows the operator to combine multiple audio signals and control various aspects of how they sound, including level and equalization.

Speakers

Monitor speakers will be required to hear the contents of your broadcast.  It is recommended that speakers designed for music studios be used, as they can give you the most accurate representation of the signal.

Audio Cables
Audio cables link various components of your broadcast studio to each other, allowing your signal to flow from one piece of equipment to another.

You also need RF Cable, RF Connector, Microphone, Microphone Stand, BOP Cover, Headphone, etc.
