The frequency signals received by your TV antenna become weaker as they travel through the coax cableto your television set. The longer the journey, the weaker the signal becomes, potentially affecting your reception capabilities. With the use of splitters, the frequency signal becomes weaker the more times it's divided, even if the television sets are turned off; this is commonly refered to as insertion loss. Both of these problems can be avoided by installing a high quality Channel Master TV antenna Preamplifier which will amplify the signal before the signal loss occurs.
Mast-mounted TV antenna Preamplifiers consist of an amplifier housing which is mounted to the antenna mast and a power supply which is installed indoors. This power supply inserts low voltage AC or DC to the antenna cable which powers the Preamplifier at the antenna.
TV antenna Preamplifiers strengthen signal levels at the antenna prior to entering the coax cable, which lies between the antenna and the TV. However, TV antenna Preamplifiers do no not improve the quality of signals received by the antenna. The goal of the TV antenna Preamplifier is to maintain the signal quality at the output of the antenna to the distribution panel and other media components.
