Xtremevision XV-08FM Wired Digital FM Stereo Transmitter

The Xtremevision XV-08FM is a wired digital FM stereo transmitter designed to send an external audio source through a vehicle's FM radio system. It is intended for installations where a direct RCA-fed audio source needs to play through an existing factory or aftermarket FM tuner. Seven selectable FM frequencies provide options for choosing a less congested channel in the lower FM band.

This compact transmitter uses RCA audio input connections rather than Bluetooth or USB media playback. It is suited to vehicle audio installations using a compatible line-level source and a 12-volt DC electrical system. The radio is tuned to the same selected frequency to receive the transmitted stereo signal.

Its specified 10 kOhm input impedance, 65 dB signal-to-noise ratio, and 30 dB stereo separation describe the unit's audio-interface performance. Listed audio distortion is 1 percent. Gold-plated RCA jacks are specified for the wired audio input connection.

The XV-08FM includes an anti-howling system and a ground-isolator IC circuit intended to address feedback and ground-loop-related noise in an installed system. An automatic radio-antenna cut-off/connect function is also listed. These functions make it appropriate for an integrated installation instead of a plug-in cigarette-lighter FM adapter.

A metal shield case helps protect the transmitter assembly in a compact footprint. The unit measures approximately 2-1/8 inches by 2 inches by 1 inch and operates from DC 12V. It can be used as a practical bridge between an RCA-equipped audio component and a radio that receives FM stereo broadcasts.

Key Features

• Seven FM Settings: Select from seven available frequencies between 87.7 and 88.9 MHz.
• RCA Audio Input: Accepts a wired line-level audio connection through RCA jacks.
• Gold-Plated Jacks: Gold-plated RCA input jacks support the audio connection.
• Anti-Howling System: Built-in circuitry is specified to reduce feedback-related noise.
• Ground Isolation Circuit: A ground-isolator IC is included for installed audio systems.
• Automatic Antenna Function: Listed automatic radio antenna cut-off/connect capability supports integration.

Design & Installation

The XV-08FM uses a compact metal shield case and is listed in black. Its small 2-1/8 by 2 by 1 inch enclosure is suited to concealed placement where a stable, wired FM interface is needed. The specified operating-temperature range is 20°C to 75°C.

Installation requires a DC 12V power connection, a compatible RCA line-level audio source, and an FM radio tuned to the transmitter's selected frequency. Choose one of the seven available frequencies that is clear in the local listening area, then match the radio tuner to that setting. Confirm wiring polarity, mounting location, and local radio-transmission requirements before installation.
