The RBRX1
The RBRX1 is unique, totally unique.
Not until now has there been an analog FM receiver that works as you wanted it to.
Using digital signal processing technology the RBRX1 is able to receive signals clearer than
you ever thought possible. With its low distortion, great stereo separation, excellent signal
handling and signal processing of the weakest signals the RBRX1 is the market leading num-
ber one choice for FM reception.
The RBRX1 employs an image cancelling high dynamic range front end mixing system for on
channel to IF conversion. Together with the digital signal processed steep IF band filtering the
RBRX1 achieves excellent adjacent channel filtering, making it ideal for reception of distant
FM signals when located on a transmitter site.
The digital demodulator of the RBRX1 is ultimately configurable - providing the user with a
degree of flexibility unheard of in FM reception products. RF and audio bandwidths are at
the users control and with the adaptive control settings the receiver can be left to adjust
itself as necessary, keeping out the noise from your audio while keeping to the limits that you
have set. For the first time ever you are able to control the behaviour of the radio - you are
now the designer of your own product’s performance.
The RBRX1 has professional level balanced XLR connections for the analog and AES/EBU out-
puts. As well as recovering pristine audio the RBRX1 also decodes any transmitted RDS data.
For rebroadcast applications the RBRX1 provides digitally reconstructed MPX signals which
are available via back panel BNC connections. The recovered MPX signals are post pro-
cessed to ensure both amplitude and bandwidth levels are safe for rebroadcast. To help
further with rebroadcast transmissions the RBRX1 can mute the audio should an RDS PI code
not match that set on the unit, helping to prevent hijacking of the transmission. For ultimate
flexibility the RBRX1 can function as an RDS encoder, allowing RDS data to be changed or
inserted in the multiplex output.
The RBRX1 front panel control system is state of the art, with two organic LED displays, touch
sensitive buttons and a wheel for user input. If placed at a remote site and front panel control
not possible the built in web-server allows monitoring and control from anywhere in the world
using a web-browser.
The RBRX1 has a real time clock for time and day mode selection, back panel preset trigger
ports and more - each feature designed to make the unit flexible and easy to integrate into
any broadcast facility.
We know you love listening to radio; the RBRX1 loves radio like you do.
Have Fun.

within 30 days of receipt of the product at BW Broadcast.
If the product needs to be modified or adapted in order to comply with applicable tech-
nical or safety standards on a national or local level, in any country which is not the coun-
try for which the product was originally developed and manufactured, this modification-
/adaptation shall not be considered a defect in materials or workmanship. The warranty
does not cover any such modification/adaptation, irrespective of whether it was carried out
properly or not. Under the terms of this warranty, BW Broadcast shall not be held responsible
for any cost resulting from such a modification/adaptation.

level slightly as activating this filter may increase overshoots slightly (how much will depend on
the amount of composite clipping used).
