What kind of transmit range do you need ? Just your own home or a complete City ...
The most important feature of a transmitter is that it's PLL Synthesized.

Just in my home ...
I've a new high'ish end hi-fi system [which I think sounds fantastic], and a creative platinum X-Fi sound card in my pc.
I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY want clarity from my amp/speakers when mixing.but, of course, do not want my pc beside my hi-fi :)
Hi-fi amps in New Zeland don't have TOS-Link inputs [home theatre amps do] otherwise I'd consider that...
I'm very open to ALL other suggestions... E.g. Digital to Analog tos-link converters, etc.
In trueth I leaning toward a high end transmitter solution - but have not found anything that even remotely catches my attention.

NB: I'm only just getting into mixing but LOVE great sounding music at reasonable volumes ;) So no flames about my hardware/hi-fi decisions - please ... [Pern comment this is not directed at you :) - I appreciate your potential assistance ]

Can't you use balanced audio cable converters and a balanced audio cable from the sound card to the amp ?
That would be the cheapest way to solve it.

I would need approx 50ft (16m) of RCA and I think the sound degradation would be too noticible at reason volumes.
So, no one has any feedback on the mobileblackbox V5000 FM Transmitter?
Or can suggest better/other?
Cheers

I also wouldn't use 16m of RCA cable with your requirements. But i think that with a couple of Unbalanced to Balanced Line Converters and using XLR professional line level with high quality balanced shielded cable there will not be any sound degradation.
Something like:
- Rane BB 44X Balance Buddy, http://www.rane.com/bb44x.html
- Rolls MB15 ProMatch, http://www.rolls.com/new/mb15.html
I think you will get much better Sound quality with that then with the mobileblackbox transmitter.
Making i high quality FM transmitter is really hard and making a HQ Stereo transmitter is even harder. I don't think that something that costs $89 will give you the quality that you are looking for.

The Rane model is better since it uses passive transformers. The Rolls is a very basic version and not really Studio High Quality. But these are 2 i found after 1 min on google.

Great ... Have never heard of such devices... I erxtremely keen and am pretty much sold :)
Throwing another questiobn out there:
What do you, or anyone else for that matter, think of options such as Digital/Analog Converters?
Meaning that I could run a TOSLink cable from my X-Fi card to the DAC and then professional quality RCAs from DAC into my amp?
Thanks for the info on Balanced/Unbalanced conveerters.

use the digital out on the X-Fi or the digital out on your mixer if your using one and run a length of cable to your digital in on your amp. If you're missing ADC/DACs on your equiment you can buy them from most good audio shops. that way the signal degredation will only be over the length of cable you use to patch (or none at all if you have digtal ins and outs where you need them allready) i would use coax digital rather than spdif or toslink as some people call it. i have heard no end of bad things about long runs of lightpipe. plus coax is cheeper.
if you need to invest in DAC/ADCs its advisable to get matched pairs to gaurantee smooth opperation.
if thats not an option consider linedrivers as these will cut down on signal degredation over long lengths of pasive signal run and will probably be cheeper than digital

I'd love to broadcast some music over the airwave's, but what are the legalities of doing so. I know 'pirate' radio stations get closed down preitty quick, and the people running them face heavy fines or even jail. Think it's to do with interfering with the emergency service's frequency's ???
