OVERVIEW

The GatesAir Flexiva FLX with PowerSmart 3D is a Liquid-Cooled FM solid-state transmitter family that provides today’s broadcaster with a single transmission platform capable of analog and digital. Built on the next generation of GatesAir’s groundbreaking green transmission architecture, Flexiva transmitters offer today’s FM analog or digital broadcaster compact, energy-efficient solutions to reliably deliver high performance and reduce Total Cost of Ownership.

Flexiva FLX utilizes the latest 50 volt LDMOS amplifier devices, compact high-efficiency power supplies, variable speed cooling and the Flexiva FAX exciter with RTAC™.

Featuring PowerSmart® 3D technology, the Flexiva FLX line offers unmatched efficiency that makes it ideal for all FM applications. FLX provides today’s broadcaster with unparalleled power efficiency and outstanding signal performance.

This powerful blend of new technologies provides best-in-class performance with respect to transmitter power efficiency, physical size, performance and features. The modular design allows for simpler installation, infrequent maintenance requirements together with dramatically reduced total cost of ownership over the life of the transmitter.
