Connection and mounting of remote antennæ

6 Connection and mounting of remote antennæ

If the receiver position is not the best antenna position for optimum reception, you can use remote antennæ and antenna boosters. These are available as accessories.

The best reception quality is obtained with the Sennheiser A12 AD-UHF active antenna. Antenna and receiver can be connected with RG 58 co-axial cable. Ready made up antenna cables from Sennheiser are available as accessories with lengths of 1 m, 5 m and 10 m (see chapter 28).

To supply the antenna booster integrated in the A12 AD-UHF active antenna, a supply voltage needs to be added via the antenna sockets (see chapter 18).

External AB 1036-TV antenna boosters can be used for compensating for cable losses if the remote antennæ are at a long distance from the receiver. The antenna boosters are connected in the antenna cable line and can be supplied with the DC supply voltage by the EM 3532 via the antenna cables.

Essential notes on mounting the antennæ

Position antennæ in the same room in which the transmission takes place!

Maintain a minimum distance of 1 metre from metal objects (including reinforced concrete walls)!

Maintain a minimum distance of 1 metre between receiving antennæ!
