Radio & Wireless Audio Connectors
DAB/FM Connector
The Receiver is fitted with an FM and a DAB/DAB+ receiver
module. The type of aerial you need depends on your
listening preferences and the local conditions.
Your Receiver is capable of superb radio reception, but only if
it is receiving a good quality transmission signal.
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 areas with poor signal strength, you may
require a roof or loft mounted aerial.
Contact your local Arcam dealer or aerial installation experts
for advice about local reception conditions.

In strong signal areas, the DAB/FM 'T' wire aerial supplied can
be used with reasonable results. Mount the aerial as high up
as possible on a wall.
In the UK the 'T'-elements need to be positioned vertically
for DAB reception since broadcasts are vertically polarised.
In other localities, check with your Arcam dealer or try both
horizontal and vertical positions for best reception.
Try each usable wall of the room to see which gives best
reception and use tacks or adhesive tape to secure the
aerial in a 'T' shape, but note that no tacks should come into
contact with the internal wire of the aerial.
When installed and receiving DAB/FM, check the signal
strength by pressing the front panel or remote control's
button until the signal quality indicator 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
folded 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.
