Designed for Professionals
The NGA-601 is a next-generation DRM/AM/FM receiver tailored for digital broadcast operators, radio stations, and regulatory bodies. It provides a powerful, flexible, and portable solution for professional broadcast monitoring and analysis.
Advanced DRM Capabilities
The receiver integrates support for the latest xHE-AAC audio standard, ensuring superior audio quality reception. It also supports rich DRM data services like Journaline and MOT Slideshow, alongside the vital Emergency Warning Function.
Comprehensive Reception
This versatile platform supports advanced DRM, AM, and FM reception across the critical MF, HF, and VHF Band II frequencies. It allows users to effectively monitor and analyze both current and future mainstream broadcast signals.
Powerful Analysis and Data Handling
A dedicated “Expert Mode” provides real-time technical metrics including MER and BER for in-depth signal assessment. Features like receive logging, DCP/MDI stream saving/streaming (Max model), and GPS/BeiDou positioning aid professional analysis and field operations.
Intuitive Interface and Connectivity
The NGA-601 features an intuitive touchscreen and physical controls for easy operation. An SMA external antenna connector, adjustable attenuation, and robust interfaces like USB and Micro SD support diverse professional setups.
