Analog STL audio links KE-KV

The KE and KV analog STL Series are the best audio quality links for broadcasting networks.

Synthesized agility: from 210-970 MHz (3B, / 4B, / GHz models) and 1,35-2,5 GHz (2G models), the transmission and reception of frequencies can be easily set from the front panel LCD display.
Excellent stereo separation: A built-in group delay and amplitude precorrector guarantees a very low phase distortion and a great stereo separation in the whole 15kHz audio band.
Suitable for digital audio: The subsonic over-modulation and the low frequency phase distortion are controlled by a feedback circuit in order to exalt the audio quality of the latest digital studio equipment.
Low THD distortion: the THD value with stereo or mono demodulated signals is negligible.

Low noise: the excellent signal to noise ratio either in mono or in stereo allows the use of this STLs in multi hops networks without decreasing the audio quality.
High sensitivity: using ultra low noise receiving input amplifiers, selective filters and with a powerful demodulation circuit the obtained receivers sensitivity is very high, so allowing longer link distances with reduced antenna investment also in highly noisy RF environments.
Great RF immunity: allows to operate in most hostile RF environments.
High adjacent channel rejection, obtained thanks to the excellent mechanical shielding and the precision of RF channel filtering.
High frequency stability with the internal temperature compensated crystal reference.
Full metering: complete diagnostic and measurement front panel displays are available. Full remote control is available as WEB server and/or SNMP as option.
Meets or exceeds all FCC and CCIR requirements.
