Big transmitter features for unmatched value.

Many FM transmitters in the 150 W to 6 kW class use an inexpensive analog exciter that may even be an external unit. For VX Series not only did Nautel engineers integrate the exciter, but they also implemented a true direct-to-channel digital exciter to achieve class-leading performance. That means crystal clear audio and outstanding value! VX Series FM Transmitters with their built-in RDS generator, GPS input, powerful presets, and -90 dB SNR, make for powerful and extremely cost-effective exciters.

Hassle-Free Maintenance, Easy Serviceability

Designed for easy serviceability, VX transmitters offer fingertip access to hot-swappable, titanium-grade power supplies with 96% efficiency, along with quick RF pallet access and front-access washable filters and fans. The solderless, 65V ruggedized LDMOS PA pallets are replaceable, further simplifying maintenance. With a clean layout and a 20” depth, these transmitters maximize space efficiency, enabling quick and effortless upkeep.

Comprehensive Control, Intuitive AUI

VX transmitters are equipped with a large, easy-to-read color display on the front panel, ensuring a user-friendly experience without compromise. The award-winning, HTML-based Advanced User Interface (AUI) offers a robust set of features for comprehensive transmitter management, accessible from any modern browser with low bandwidth usage, all at no additional cost, including:

• Commercial-grade Broadcast Instrumentation
• Customizable Alarms and Email Notifications
• SNMP Management
• Scheduling Capabilities
• Event Logging
• RDS/PSD Configuration
• Robust User Management and Security Protocols

Together, the front-panel display and AUI ensure that users have complete, reliable control whether on-site or remotely.
