The BST-25/216 MHz transmitter incorporates the latest digital and analog technologies to produce low residual noise, wide dynamic range, and extended frequency response rendering the most natural sound possible from a wireless system.

This transmitter may be used for personal cueing, for tour guide applications, language interpretation, and for assistive listening applications.


  • 57 user-selectable channels in the 216-217 MHz range: 38 standard narrow-band, non-companded channels; 19 high-fidelity narrow-band channels with companded audio processing.
  • Single-window, bright LED display for exact frequency and channel, VU bar graph meter, antenna condition and lock-out indicator.
  • Test tone generator for receiver testing and audio level referencing.
  • Balanced mic or line level with 60 dB of control range to accommodate any audio level.
  • Micro controller automatically sets the modulation deviation, the audio mode for companding processing, and the EQ when corresponding channels are selected.
  • Can be rack mounted for AC or 12 volt DC power and can accommodate a variety of remote antennas.
