Why FM Radio?
- Leveraging an FM radio transmitter will offer your attendees an incredibly customizable experience.
- Allows each vehicle to set their own volume.
- Allows listeners to roll their windows up giving them the option to run their heat or air conditioning without interfering with audio clarity.
- Guarantees everyone hears everything at the exact same time, critical to audience engagement.
- Perfectly synchronized audio with your outdoor PA speakers.
- Everyone already has an FM radio receiver in their vehicle.
- Unbeatable simplicity!
Is it legal?
- If done correctly, absolutely!
- To maintain legal compliance, an FM transmitter must be certified by the Federal Communications Commission.
- Note: Almost all FM transmitters sold on eBay or Amazon are NOT certified and can subject you to fines starting at $10,000.
Even purchasing a transmitter from a reputable vendor does not guarantee is can be legally used in the United States. - Don't just look for the FCC logo, verify the FCC certification number. Our transmitter FCC certifications can be found here: https://fcc.report/FCC-ID/MCHMS-100
Why Not Just Stream Over the Internet?
- Streaming audio definitely has its advantages but...
- A reliable Internet connection must be available for your broadcast.
- Each listener must also have a reliable Internet connection to hear your broadcast.
- Each listener will need to download the required apps and configuring their own devices.
- Listeners will experience a delay in your audio as it travels over the Internet, a phenomenon called latency. The latency of a stream can range anywhere from several seconds to nearly a minute depending on the streaming service chosen.
- Each listener will also hear your audio at different times depending on the quality of their Internet connection and how much buffering their device requires.
Broadcast Coverage
- Our FM transmitters leverage the highest power permitted by the Federal Communications Commission
- We place our transmitter and antenna in the middle of your audience area to ensure the best coverage possible
- In most cases we can cover about 200,000 square feet (about 700 parking spaces)
- Note: A football field has an area of less than 58,000 square feet
Ensuring the Best Possible Signal
- Simply picking a quiet spot on your radio dial may not be enough.
- We perform a detailed site survey using sophisticated equipment to "look" at the frequency spectrum to identify the best location on the FM dial for your broadcast.
- Carefully selecting a clear frequency will improve your broadcast range, help prevent interference from other transmitters, and most importantly, will ensure your event does not impact commercially licensed FM broadcast stations.
