Author Topic: FM Transmitters Mark J. Marshall Film God Posts: 3188 From: New Castle, DE, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 06-18-2010 01:43 PM                    Can anyone recommend a good stereo FM transmitter that can be used in a theater auditorium to enable patrons to listen to the sound on their portable walk-man type radios? I see the FMX1000 on Jack Roe's site. Any experience with it? Is it too powerful for use in an auditorium?  |  IP: Logged Mark J.

Don't know if they're any good (I've only worked with IR), but they are out there.  |  IP: Logged Barry Floyd Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1079 From: Lebanon, Tennessee, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 06-21-2010 02:07 PM                        I run Broadcast Warehouse TX-5's at my drive-in, but they are way more than overkill for your application. Something simple like a Ramsey FM-25B or the new equivalent would probably do what your wanting without spending a fortune.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.
