Which radio aerial?

Your Arcam T32 is capable of superb radio reception, but only if it is receiving a good quality transmission signal.

The T32 is fitted with an FM/AM receiver and an optional DAB+ receiver, depending on the region where it was sold. The type of aerial you need depends on your listening preferences and the local conditions.

Try the aerials supplied with your unit. If you are in a medium to strong signal area, these should be adequate for good reception. In an area of weak reception, or for optimum performance, an external aerial may be required. Contact your local Arcam dealer or an aerial installation expert for advice.

DAB

In moderately strong signal areas, one of the two dipole ribbon aerials supplied can be used with reasonable results.

1.Loosen the two cross-head screws on the push-on adaptor.

2.Slide a terminal tag from the long end of the ribbon aerial under one of the screws and tighten securely. Repeat with the other tag and remaining screw.

3.Attach the push-on adapter to the F-type DAB connector on the back panel of the unit.

4.The ‘T’ section of the aerial should be mounted vertically, since DAB signals are vertically polarised.

When installed and receiving DAB, check the signal strength by pressing the INFO button on the front panel or remote until the signal bar graph is displayed.

In weak signal areas, a high-gain, externally-mounted or roof-mounted aerial is desirable in order to receive the highest number of services.

In Band III transmission areas (such as the UK), use a multi-element Yagi aerial with the elements mounted vertically, as the transmissions are vertically polarised. If you are close to more than one transmitter, use an omnidirectional or telescopic dipole aerial.

If the DAB services in your area are transmitted on L-band, then ask your dealer for advice for the best aerial to use.
