Your LPFM station or home stereo transmitter just doesn't have the apparent loudness and "boom" of those big broadcast stations, and when you turn up the audio gain it just starts to distort. You have now been exposed to the FM Broadcast Loudness War, a product of FM Broadcasters using audio compression techniques to make the music they play on their FM stations as loud as possible or stand out over other broadcast stations. Your little FM transmitter on your iPod just can't compete. You need to investigate and learn about AGC (Automatic Gain Control) circuitry which should be incorporation into a good FM transmitter as well as some kind of audio compression / audio limiter solution which could be a physical device or software.Your LPFM station or home stereo transmitter just doesn't have the apparent loudness and "boom" of those big broadcast stations, and when you turn up the audio gain it just starts to distort.

To work within the legal [[FM Broadcast Radio Frequency Deviation]] it is possible to have your transmitted music sound "louder" by compressing the audio and applying a limiter to prevent distortion or clipping.See: Audio Compression Options for FM BroadcastSee: [[Audio Compression Options for FM Broadcast]][[Category:Electronics]][[Category:Radio]]
