Televes AVANT X Basic Programmable Multiband Amplifier

A New Evolutionary Stage

The AVANT X Basic is a new evolutionary stage in multiband amplifiers, designed for terrestrial signals with 32 digital programmable filters. This multi-input multiband amplifier is ideal for individual or Multi Dwelling Unit (MDU) installations. It allows programming up to 32 digital filters across 4 VHF+UHF inputs (DTT). The amplifier features 5 inputs, configurable into two distribution modes: FM-4xVHF/UHF or FM-DAB-3xUHF. It offers programmable amplification and balancing for different RF inputs. Programming is made easy and intuitive through the ASuite application, available for Android or Windows. The amplifier can detect LTE signals and automatically set the filter to channel 48 (LTE700). It is RED compliant.

Main Features

Inputs are configurable in 2 modes: 4 inputs support VHF/UHF, or one of the inputs is for DAB and the remaining 3 for UHF.

Discover: Avant X - A New Evolutionary Stage

Avant X is a full range of digital programmable multiband amplifiers, whose main mission is to achieve programmable amplification and balance of different RF input signals.

VHF+UHF Inputs

The channels present in these inputs can be filtered and adjusted using up to 32 digital filters. Each filter can be tuned to any VHF+UHF channel, and its bandwidth can comprise between 1 and 4 channels. The arrangement of the 32 filters is configurable based on the number of channels present on each VHF+UHF input. It is compatible with DVB-T and DVB-T2. The output level is programmable between 90-115dBμV for one-output options (BASIC and PRO), and between 86-111dBμV for two-output options (BASIC SAT and PRO SAT). Furthermore, an equalization slope of up to 5 dB can be programmed at the output.

FM Input

The FM input can be enabled or not. In case this input is enabled, it will be amplified and its output level set to 10 dB below the lowest-level UHF channel (taking into account the equalization slope).

IF Input (only for models equipped with SAT)

The satellite input can be assigned an attenuation between 0 dB and 30dB, and an equalization between 0 dB and 15dB. The LNB can be configured to be REMOTELY (user STB) or LOCALLY powered by enabling the 22 kHz tone and configuring the supply voltage value to 13 or 17 V.

Choose the Desired Programming Mode

Avant X provides three different programming options:

• App ASuite for PC/Mac or tablet/Android smartphone: Via USB connection (OTG cable included). The multiband amplifier configuration is performed in a friendly and intuitive environment. A configuration can be defined and stored – even without being connected to the multiband amplifier – only to retrieve it at installation and adjustment time. Furthermore, for PRO versions, the application allows the monitoring of the quality parameters and the production of an installation report describing the configuration used.
• Universal programmer (ref. 7234): The unit is compatible with the programmer, ensuring backwards compatibility.
• Automatic programming (PRO versions only): By means of the "AUTO-PROGRAMMING" button (press and hold) of the multiband amplifier itself. Thanks to a tuner that is able to detect DVB-T/T2 channels for UHF+VHF inputs, the unit performs an automatic programming of the filters when executing this option, as well as the appropriate tuning to avoid intermodulation.

By pressing the READJUST button (short press), the unit is readjusted to the stored configuration values. After the multiband amplifier is adjusted, a manual fine tuning can be performed to slightly correct the VHF/UHF and FM filters' gain.

Connection Diagrams

Typical Configuration (Page 5)

This diagram illustrates a typical setup for the AVANT X Basic amplifier. The amplifier is shown centrally. It receives signals from multiple antennas: one for UHF, another for UHF, and one for VHF+UHF. A satellite dish (SAT) is also connected. The amplifier is powered by a 220-230V~ 50/60Hz connection. The output provides a combined TV + SAT signal.

Alternative Configuration with DAB (Page 6)

This diagram shows an alternative input configuration for the AVANT X Basic amplifier. The amplifier receives signals from three UHF antennas and one DAB antenna. A satellite dish (SAT) is also connected. Power is supplied via 220-230V~ 50/60Hz. The output provides a combined TV + SAT signal.
