Ecreso FM 5000W

Ecreso FM 5-10kW is a fully digital transmitter for analog FM and is the most powerful product in WorldCast Systems’ Ecreso portfolio. 

Engineered to meet the needs of the most demanding network operators and stations, it combines reliable performance, high efficiency of up to 76%, and state-of-the-art innovations. Truly revolutionary, the Ecreso 5-10kW has a built-in 1+1 redundancy which ensures it stays on-air with minimal or no power loss.  

With the Ecreso FM 5-10kW, broadcasters benefit reduced maintenance thanks to hot swappable power supplies, power amplifiers and fans, as well as a multitude of onboard features such as SmartFM, a patented Artificial Intelligence for FM bringing up to 40% energy cost savings.  

This advanced broadcasting solution is the result of decades of experience and a mission to bring to market the best FM transmitters in terms of total cost of ownership and audio quality.

Modular FM Transmitter

Designed for reliability and longevity, the modular design of the Ecreso FM 5000W is based on the ECRESO FM 1500W/2000W Amplifier module.

This amplifier delivers the best cost/watt ratio over the lifetime of the transmitter, has the lowest heat dissipation available on the market today and, with a maximum output power of 5500W, it provides a comfortable margin over nominal power. The amplifier redundancy ensures that, even if you lose one amplifier module, you still have more than 2500W on air.

A crystal-clear signal is achieved using the ECRESO FM 100W exciter and its direct to channel digital modulator and the system can be fully controlled and monitored through the built-in Web interface and SNMP protocol.
