Best one I have tried thus far: You'll need a compressor.
4 out of 5 stars
Best one I have tried thus far: You'll need a compressor.
The good: It is easy to set frequency and audio input level. The signal is relatively clean, the unit doesn't seem to cause much interference and broadcast badly on the frequency harmonics. This is very good when compared to the cheaper dirty Chinese transmitters that splatter all over the band. The bad: The unit under deviates within the legal FM bandpass so it is impossible to achieve good volume on the receiver before clipping or distortion. If I were able to increase the FM deviation the problem would be resolved, however, there does not appear to be a way to do this. My second criticism is one that I understand being restricted by FCC regulation, however, I will still state that the signal is weak. For those using this product, ditch the telescoping antenna and use the wire antenna they include in the box. Try to run the wire antenna as straight vertical as possible and away from other metal structures. Using the wire antenna will dramatically improve your transmitter broadcast range.It is not necessary to use batteries to eliminate AC line noise as some others have suggested. I was able to eliminate said noise via use of a Ferrite on the adapter line.Update: I have been able to greatly increase the audio level (loudness) by utilizing an audio processing compressor between the audio source and the transmitter. I would say that I am much more near the loudness level of broadcast stations with mitigated or unnoticeable distortion levels. Those big FM stations use compression to get what has come to be known as "The Sound of Radio" and relates to something known as "The Loudness War." Either way, I purchased audio processing hardware to compress the audio and recreate that big radio sound. At this point I am much happier with the product.As a side note, if your audio source is a PC you can accomplish the kind of compression that radio stations do with software. There is an addon to PulseAudio on Linux that does the job. There are Windows solutions also. I won't mention product names here as I am not sure the Amazon guidelines.Recommended reading: Do an online search for "Audio Compression Options for FM Broadcast" and you should be able to glean what you need to do and know in order to give you much better sound with this transmitter!

This operated as described. It puts out a clear strong fm stereo sound. I’m using it for my xm radio to connect to my Cardo helmet communication system. Works great.
Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2014
Update 2019.01.31:

To sound its best, this unit (or any transmitter) requires a signal processor between the source and the transmitter or a decent built in defeatable automatic gain control. I think if it had AGC, folks would stop complaining “it’s not nearly as loud as the other stations” and “it sounds awful if you turn it up.”

I recently landed a Behringer MDX8000 Combinator, a low budget ** broadcast audio processor from the 1990s. When properly processed, music sounds really good from this transmitter: it's not as loud and fat as a that of a commercial station, but it's amazingly close. Be prepared to spend a good deal of time studying broadcast audio compression and tweaking the settings to your taste. A Behringer DSP9024 - much cheaper and commonly available on the used market - can also do a good job, but (IMHO) they are absolutely beastly to configure. Another option is some sort of standalone AGC (many units are available cheap on the used market), but I have not tested them.

Is it crazy to spend $500 for a compressor feeding a $125 transmitter? Maybe…but I use it a lot, and it made a HUGE improvement.

** low budget compared to the thousands commercial broadcasters spend on an Optimod or equivalent.

Update 2016.03.02:

I called the vendor and found out there is ==>; NO AGC <== in version 3.0. It was mentioned in the early instructions by mistake, and has been removed from the current instructions. It still remains a super unit in my opinion (especially for the cost), but you should use a compressor / limiter. This makes setup somewhat complex since tightly monitoring the actual modulation percentage is tricky without sophisticated equipment.

Original Review:

I live in the suburbs, so I was able to find a frequency with no adjacent channels. Your mileage may vary depending on your location.

What I use it for:

This is a personal FM station such that I can wear heavy hearing protection style headphones equipped with an FM radio. I use it while using loud equipment (i.e. cutting the grass) or when I wish to listen to music (or watch a movie) the rest of my family doesn't appreciate.

What I like:

FCC approved as type 15 compliant. Has license info on transmitter. Good to know if you worry about getting busted for running an unlicensed station.
Decent sound for an inexpensive transmitter.
Reasonably easy to set up (but you must be careful not to over-modulate).
Decent range. With the antenna perhaps 10 feet above the ground, it is reliably reaching 150 feet.
Has selectable pre-emph curves, so you can use 75 microseconds in the US or 50 in Europe. Most cheap transmitters use 50 microseconds, which sounds very dull on US radios.
Comes with both legal and illegal antennas; I assume the illegal one has better range (I haven't tried it since I am satisfied with the current range) if you don't mind risking getting busted.
You can turn on Hi Power Mode (again, you will not be FCC type 15 compliant; fine if you don't worry about getting busted.) To do this, you hold the cycle button and mute and it goes into high power mode, shown by a lightning bolt on display. I have not tested this since I don't need extra power.

What I don't like:

Per my oscilloscope, built in AGC that is supposed to avoid over-modulation does not work.
Front panel meter shows volume, not modulation. This is misleading at best.
Per the instructions, the power supply is not standard even though it looks like the same one as my Droid smart phone. They warn you not to use this supply on other items or any other supply with the phone. I assume they are telling the truth so I have not tested this.
Left handed antenna connector, making it difficult to fabricate your own (illegal) antenna.
It only goes down as far as 88.0 and not 87.9; unfortunate since it is wide open in many areas.

What I have no opinion on:

I have only used this as a home transmitter. It sits on a shelf and is remotely powered on and off. I have not dropped it (yet) nor worn it on my belt nor tried it in the car.

Recommendations:

Get a cheap audio compressor to put in front of this thing. If set up properly, your compressor will bring up the quiet passages (assuming this is your objective: true audiophiles will shudder, but then they wouldn't use a cheap transmitter and wireless headphones either) while keeping the unit from over-modulating. I'm using a Behringer MDX2100 I picked up on Ebay for about $25. To really set it up properly, you'll need an FM band spectrum analyser (good luck borrowing one of those!) or an oscilloscope connected to an FM tuner that has scope outputs (I used a McIntosh MR-78 tuner) so you can measure the modulation. You can do it by ear (instructions are in the transmitter manual), but it's much less precise.

Minus one star for the poor AGC and misleading volume display.

This was an easy and cheap way to send music all through my house. Now I can walk through the house with the same music (usually a baseball game) on all the various stereos, alarm clocks, etc. in the house with no lag between them. Compared to setting up $100 per unit AirPlay or other receivers, this has been great. I even got out my old walkman for listening in the back yard and it's fine. The quality is not "hiss free CD quality" but it sure beats running wires to each room, or a herd of $40 apps to send sound from your computer to your phones and old iPods. We already know how to do that - it's called radio.

I do wish it were legal to use the longer antenna. Oh well. It took about 15 minutes to adjust the sound output from my computer to the right level. The sound is quite passable. Some radio receivers are really awful. My alarm clock (iHome) is actually excellent, but my cheap-o iPod/FM receiver is terrible, and it has ultra-fine-tuning FM ability, which might be the problem. My ancient Sony AM/FM alarm clock with analog tuning is great. My Sony digital walkman is decent. It seems that a wider receive range from an analog tuner picks up better, but the digitals are passable even then. You do still get noise from other devices, typical of FM. In my bathroom I have to put the radio up a little higher to get around a noise spot. This isn't the fault of the transmitter, and is quite easy to deal with.

Pricing a higher fidelity (near CD quality, wired-in, whatever) solution tends to run very expensive very quickly - either needing to buy multiple small units and speakers for various rooms, or a new stereo with wires run to multiple separate rooms, with speakers. Sending audio directly from a computer to an iOS/Android device runs around 4-40 dollars per device, and still, no power, no speakers. They may offer more control, higher quality sound, and so on, but I was not after a whole-house single audio system. I just wanted to be able to hear the same game in the garage as in the kitchen and office. With one purchase I was able to do that, and no apps, no wiring, no drywall repairs, and far less maintenance.

Having never used an FM transmitter before, I had no idea what it would be like to set up.

No trouble at all, as it turned out. Unpack, plug into electrical outlet, plug a sound source into the "line in" jack, turn on, choose a frequency and you are all set.

Only difficulty might be finding a frequency that is not used in your area, but the signal from the Whole House transmitter is so strong it seems to overpower any radio station that might be on that frequency.

Over all, very easy to set up and use.

Works great! Able to get all radios in my home with it, even in the basement. Have it connected to my Sirius boom box in the microphone outlet, the only spot available on that unit. Used the mon instead of the stereo and it works great. To increase the volume, I just increase the volume on my boom box and then increase the volume on each radio. That way you can get great volume for listening.
