DAB/DAB+ and FM aerial
The Solo 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 Solo 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/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/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.
Bluetooth/Wi-Fi antenna
The Solo is supplied with both a Bluetooth
and Wi-Fi antenna.
The two antennae are identical and need
to be inserted into the connectors labelled
BT and WiFi located at the rear of the Solo.
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.
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/DAB+ services in your area
are transmitted on L-band, then ask your
dealer for advice for the best aerial to use.
