This mast-mounted preamplifier features two inputs covering the entire TV band, allowing combination of any two TV antennas (e.g., two VHF, two VHF/UHF, one VHF and one UHF, or two UHF). Unique to Televes, the new T-Force preamplifier family features automatic gain control, ensuring an optimum amount of signal is delivered at all times, despite changes in receiving conditions and avoiding over or under amplification situations. The automatic gain control is independent per band, so adjustments to UHF channels do not impact VHF channels and vice-versa. It features high gain and a powerful output level, while the high-screening cast metal chassis ensures best-in-class electromagnetic shielding protection. The cast metal and high-grade ABS plastic construction provides reliable outdoor installation, withstanding the harshest elements.

This particular unit is an entirely new design optimized for the new repack TV frequencies. Its fine-tuned steep filters reject any out-of-band interference, including FM and 5G signals over 608 MHz.

A low-consumption, UL-listed power supply is included, providing two outputs for convenient distribution to additional TV sets. This Televes preamplifier can also pass power to an active antenna when needed.

Highlights

• Repack Ready: Fine tuned filtering avoids 5G cellphone interference and allows compatibility with ATSC 3.0 broadcasting (NextGenTV)
• Automatic gain adjustment compensates fluctuations on the received signal ensuring the best output level is delivered and avoiding over/under amplification
• Dual band amplification with independent automatic gain regulation per band. The VHF and UHF bands are independently and automatically adjusted
• Maximum gain: 27dB (UHF, channels 14-36), 18dB (high VHF, channels 7-13), 18dB (low VHF, channels 2-6)
• Low noise and high output level (47dBmV UHF, 43dBmV VHF)
• 5G and FM filtering eliminates cellphone and radio interference
• Cast metal and resistant ABS-plastic construction for reliable outdoor installation in the harshest conditions
• High-screening metal chassis provides optimal electromagnetic shielding
• ON/OFF switch to allow DC passing towards the input to power up active antennas or other preamplifiers

Application Example

Receiving from two or more transmitting locations using two independent antennas:

The amplifier provides gain adjustment per input to allow balancing the signals received from the two antennas when needed. Once the desired balance is set, the amplifier will automatically adjust its gain for each band independently over time to ensure optimum signal delivery. No further configuration/settings are needed.

Diagram Description: The diagram illustrates a typical installation setup. Two 'Ellipse MIX' antennas, each tuned for UHF/VHF signals, are mounted on a mast. Coaxial cables from these antennas connect to a mast-mounted amplifier. A cable runs from the amplifier down to a 'PSU' (Power Supply Unit) located inside a building. This PSU provides a 12V power supply to the system and has an output that connects to a 'TV'. The system is designed to balance and optimize signals from multiple transmitting locations.
