QUAD 66 - Positioning the 66 Preamplifier

Aerial
Positioning the Tuner
The
performance
of an
FM
tuner depends upon the
quality
and strength of the
signal supplied
via
the aerial. Optimum
signalto
noise
ratio
(lowest
hiss) will be
achieved
with
an aerial input signal
of between
1 mV and
100
mV, but not in
excess
of 500
mV.
A
good
aerialwill always
give
the
best
results
and
your
local aerial
specialist or
Quad
dealer
will
be able to advise
on
which
aerial
system
is
best for
your
area.
ln most
cases a correctly orientated
external
multi-element array will
prove
most
suitable.
The
tuner is
designed
to
operate
from
standard
75O
coaxialcable. 300f)
ribbon
cable
should only be used with a correctly
designed
balun transformer
(supplied
for
some overseas markets). Available from
Quad,
part
number
PP602BC.
The tuner
can be
positioned
free-standing or stacked
with
other components.
Never
place
it in
persistent
direct sunlight or near any
heat
source.
The
tuner should not
stand directly on top of a
high
output
power
amplif
ier which
generates
a substantial amount of heat.
