Your Transmitter - Crown FM600 User Manual

1.1 Your Transmitter

The FM600 is a member of a family of FM stereo broadcast transmitters. Crown
transmitters are known for their integration, ease-of-use, and reliability.
The integration is most apparent in the standard transmitter configuration which
incorporates audio processing, stereo generation, and RF amplification without
compromised signal quality. A single Crown transmitter can replace several pieces of
equipment in a traditional system.
Ease-of-use is apparent in the user-friendly front panel interface and in the installation
procedure. Simply select your operating frequency (using 5 external switches), add an
audio source, attach an antenna, and connect AC power and you're ready to broadcast.
Of course, the FM series of transmitters also feature more sophisticated inputs and
monitoring connections if needed.
Reliability is a Crown tradition. The first Crown transmitters were designed for rigors of
worldwide and potentially portable use. The modular design, quality components,
engineering approach, and high production standards ensure stable performance.
Remote control and metering of the transmitter are made possible through a built-in I/O
port. For more direct monitoring, the front panel includes a digital multimeter display and
status indicators. Automatic control circuitry provides protection for high VSWR as well
as high current, voltage, and temperature conditions.
