New Plug and Play Modular FM or TV Transmitter DesignQuick Block is an innovative transmitter technology using Plug and Play modular “blocks”.  Introduced at NAB 2023 it won a “Best of Show” award.  The blocks can be combined to create radio frequency equipment for broadcast use.  Using the same modules, programmed and customized as needed, Radio transmitters or TV transmitters of different powers and formats can be created.

 The first transmitter, introduced at NAB, is the Quick Block FM Transmitter.  It is the first trulyscalable transmitter architecture.  From 1KW to 50Kw all using the same modules, it is an EASY TO USE and PLUG & PLAY system that offers many benefits from a logistical, technological, maintenance, and operating cost point of view.  It has been designed for maximum up-time, greater ease of maintenance, intrinsic redundancy, ease of finding parts, and ease of implementing technological updates.

Frank Grundstein has been working in broadcasting for over 50 years, involved with most aspects of broadcast and audio engineering.  He has been an operations engineer, maintenance engineer, chief engineer, recording studio engineer, video production/post-production facility manager, video computer animator, sales manager for one of the originators of networked audio platforms, and currently, Eastern Regional Sales Manager for Broadcast Electronics.

Frank holds a Master’s Degree in Communications Systems from New York University and a BA in Philosophy from Hofstra University.
