Many car owners have long preferred an FM modulator to discs. What is this device? It plays MP3 audio files. To do this, you need to insert the device into the cigarette lighter socket, connect a flash card or other device to it and tune it to the same wavelength as the radio in the car. Although most radios produce noisy sound, the FM modulator is designed to broadcast files in stereo to ensure high-quality music playback.

Also often, an FM modulator for cars is provided with a remote control. With it, you can easily control the device and not be distracted from the road.

FM modulator, like almost any other device, can be divided into several categories. The first includes those that do not have built-in memory. In order to carry out their work, it is necessary to connect a storage device to them in the form of a flash drive, portable hard drive or SD card, and they can also serve asphone.

There is an FM modulator with built-in memory. Usually it is either 512 MB or 1 GB. Such modulators are also divided into models with and without a display. The only disadvantage of these devices is the inability to connect additional memory modules to them.

A computer and a USB cable are used to record music files directly to the car FM modulator itself.

Increasingly, people began to purchase an FM modulator with a built-in equalizer. Also, the control panel now has many possibilities. With it, the desired track is selected, the playback volume is adjusted, the broadcast frequency is switched.

When choosing a FM modulator in a store, you should consider its range. In most cases, the price affects this property. The lower it is, the smaller the broadcast frequency range. There are also models where the frequency is set automatically and it is impossible to change it. Another thing to pay attention to is the compatibility of the FM transmitter and radio, since not every radio model supports this function. When connecting an FM modulator, pay attention to the input connector, in most cases, various nozzles for cigarette lighters are provided in the kit, if they are not, then you can purchase a set of splitters separately.

Why is there such a big demand for FM modulators? The answer is very simple - low cost. Indeed, in most cases, not everyone can afford to buy an expensive radio tape recorder, but a simple device for listening to music can alloweach.

Usually the displays on FM transmitters are small and show the song number, broadcast frequency and sound volume. More expensive models have an input for SD-cards, however, to write information to them, you will need either an adapter for a computer or another device into which you can insert it and then connect it to a PC. These models also come with an LCD display that shows more detailed information about the song and plug-ins.

Thus, it turns out that FM modulators become a replacement for obsolete disks and quickly come into their own.
