Discover the freedom of sending a wireless broadcast of any audio to any FM radio anywhere in your home, car or office!

The FM Transmitter 2 uses FM radio waves to send sound from any device you choose to any nearby radio or stereo system. The only wire you have to connect is from the FM Transmitter to the headphone jack. It’s as simple as that. Since the Transmitter works with any device that has a headphone jack, you can use it with your iPhone, WiFi internet radio and even satellite radio. One of the unsung qualities of C. Crane’s Digital FM Transmitter 2 is its extreme versatility. While most people use it to send music from their computers or MP3 players to a nearby radio, some customers have told us how they use it with their guitars, portable DVD players or iPod (a lot of fun in cars) and even other radios. It is perhaps the only FM Transmitter with adjustable volume control so it can handle virtually any level of audio input. The FM Transmitter 2 broadcasts cleaner audio with higher fidelity at a very affordable price.

The Transmitter has a side mount thumbwheel which allows you to adjust the input for perfect audio quality and an LED indicator for overload. One customer told us she plugs the FM Transmitter into her TV, and sends the audio to a small radio she keeps by her ear. Many health clubs use it to broadcast music to motivate workout routines.

AC adapter included, or use 2 optional "AA" batteries. Our FM Transmitter is one of the few transmitting devices available that is FCC compliant. Choose any FM frequency between 88.3 MHz and 107.7 MHz. Portable, fits in the palm of your hand.

Weight: 5.8 oz. Size 3" W x 3.5" H x 1" D. (Patent # US D483,024S)

How far will the FM Transmitter 2 transmit?

The range will vary depending on several factors.

The number of FM Stations in your area (see search tool below)
The quality of your FM receiver and antenna
The number of walls the signal needs to travel through
The types of walls (wood, metal, sheet rock, stucco, etc.)

Most of our customers achieve 40 - 60 feet depending on their situation. The FM Transmitter-2 will work better in a noise free environment. In a noisy environment (such as one with lots of FM and computer noise) you can expect less range. We recommend extending the FM transmitter-2 input cable away from the computer (or any other RF noisy device) when connected. If you are are having range problems, feel free to Contact Us. Generally the best performance is achieved with the included AC adapter.

What is a Phase Lock Loop (PLL) circuit?

A Phase Lock Loop is a circuit that locks onto the frequency selected and keeps the signal from jumping to other frequencies.

Will the FM Transmitter 2 turn back on automatically after a power outage?

If you are using the AC power adapter with the FM Transmitter 2 and have batteries inside (that are good), the loss of power (such as a power outage) and gain of power will not shut the unit off.
