GatesAir is expanding its Flexiva GX transmitter family with a new 2 kW model.
The Flexiva GX2K provides 2,000 watts of analog FM power in two rack units. The spring convention also will be the North American debut of the GX50 (50 watts), GX1K (1 kW) and GX3K (3 kW) models that were introduced last fall at the IBC show.
“The compact, high-density architecture of the GX2K accentuates the value proposition of the Flexiva GX line for the FM engineer,” GatesAir states in its announcement.
It highlights a strong power-to-size ratio for all six power levels, which also include 5 kW and 10 kW models.
“The design packs exceptional power density into a compact chassis, with overall efficiency ratings up to 76 percent,” GatesAir says.
Also new, the company has enhanced the GUI for the GX line, including integrated audio playback and a supporting playlist manager.
Options include GPS receivers for SFN support, as well as GatesAir’s Intraplex IP Link 100e (IPL-100e) module. The latter integrates within Flexiva GX transmitters, enabling IP connectivity of FM audio and data from the studio.
“This further reduces rack space requirements inside RF facilities with limited open real estate. The IPL-100e also provides support for optional integrated professional 10-band audio processing software, which can save users thousands of dollars in auxiliary equipment.”
The Flexiva GX line can be configured to serve large national or regional FM single-frequency network deployments. They also support N+1 configurations.
