We are featuring the products that won the Radio World Best of Show Award at the 2026 NAB Show. Winners were chosen by a panel of engineers and RW editorial staff for their innovation, feature set, cost efficiency and performance in serving the industry. Information about how the program works can be found in a FAQ here.
Here’s an AM transmitter that you can ship via UPS or FedEx.
Broadcast Electronics describes the AMX as a next-generation platform based around high efficiency, scalability, simplified maintenance and significantly reduced footprint.
“Using simple building blocks, you can scale a transmitter up to 5 kW in a single 5 RU chassis for analog, HD Radio or DRM broadcasts.”
Silicon carbide MOSFETs like those in electric vehicles are used for the PDM modulator and RF amplifier. BE says it’s a first for AM transmitters, delivering increased voltage and current capability, reduced capacitance and increased robustness.
Features include redundant auto ranging power supplies for single- or three-phase power configurable at the transmitter. Modulation Dependent Carrier Level operation is supported for reduced energy consumption. Orban Inside is an available option.
