Low-power television transmitter

THE Du Mont Acorn Series Transmitter Equipment is designed to fulfill the requirements of television stations intended for local coverage and also to be used as the basic unit for a station owner who is desirous of starting out on a small scale and increasing his power output through addition of a 5-kw amplifier. It also makes an ideal stand-by transmitter. To cover all the low- and high-frequency channels, it was necessary to make four different transmitters: high- and low-band aural and high- and low-band visual units. The aural transmitter has a power output of 250 watts, and the visual output is 500 watts peak.
