FM Transmitter Review Rating Philosophy --
We rate each FM Transmitter based on 4 qualities that we feel are critical to a customer having an enjoyable, versatile user experience. (i.e. you feel it was worth the money). We admit that no FM Transmitter has been able to achieve a 5 out of 5 star rating. We keep a strict quantitative analysis of each FM Transmitter.
The highest rank a FM Transmitter was able to achieve was by the Whole House FM Transmitter with 4.25 stars. There were several that fell below 2 stars and most within 2.5 to 3 stars.
Those 4 qualities are:
-
The Number of Frequencies the FM Transmitter Can Broadcast On -
(The more frequencies you have available the more choices you have in a populated area.)
-
The Number of Audio Sources the FM Transmitter is Able to Broadcast From -
(The more audio sources you have the more things you can broadcast like computer, satellite radio, TV, etc.)
-
What Ways a Person Can Power the FM Transmitter -
(This is important if someone wants to use it in multiple settings like their car, home, office, boat, deck, etc.)
-
How Far the FM Transmitter Will Broadcast in a Typical Setting -
(This is the "name-of-game" with FM Transmitters. The FM Transmitter may cover the entire public FM band but if it can't broadcast then what's the point of using it.)
Please Note: We rank each quality on a basis of 0 to 5 stars.
