Omnitronix, founded by President David L. Solt P.E., has been manufacturing the OMNI Line of AM transmitters since 1987 and the world's only solid state Short Wave Transmitter since 1997. The company was founded to fulfill the burgeoning international demand for affordable, highly reliable, solid state AM transmitters. With this in mind, the OMNI product line is built for abuse. The Solt family history of Missionary work in the harsh South American climate helped produce a product that is easy to maintain and service using world-common parts. Manufacturing, support, and research and development operations will continue out of the North Wales, PA facility until next June.
Plans are currently underway to consolidate all LPB operations under one roof next summer.
The Omnitronix facility and the LPB facility are both in suburban Philadelphia about 30 miles apart. Since 1960, LPB has placed more than 30,000 transmission and studio products worldwide. Inc. The new venture has built on LPB's tradition of excellence, continuing with the design of new on-air consoles, AM and FM transmitters, automation software, language translation systems and turnkey licensed and unlicensed radio stations. In May 2000, LPB acquired broadcast equipment manufacturer Fidelipac. The purchase gained LPB a fully modular line of analog and digital consoles, digital cart machines and playback devices, and the legendary Fidelipac studio warning lights.
