The FMJ T32 comes in two versions – an AM/FM model and AM/FM/ DAB+/ DAB unit. These new units are said to use state-of-the-art technologies to deliver the very best radio quality from DAB+, FM, AM and Sirius Satellite broadcasts (DAB+ and Sirius reception market dependant).

All circuitry is fed from a toroidal power transformer and multiple low noise regulated dc power supplies with components mounted on double-sided fibreglass PCBs. Station selection is via presets or the large front panel knob. The large, clear VFD display has scrolling text and is easily read from any angle or in any light condition.

A iPod interface is also included in the T32, allowing full integration of compatible iPods with any high performance music system. Using the Arcam rDock or rLead full control of the iPod is delivered from the remote handset along with pristine audio quality.

If not connecting an iPod the RS232 control input make the T32 a perfect radio tuner for custom installations using Crestron or AMX style system controls.

For simpler systems the unit features an IR jack input on the rear panel plus a fully featured system remote handset.
