User questions & answers

Question:	May I use this product to split an fm signal from an antennae and send it to my recveivers and equipment which uses a coaxial cable
Answer:	I don't see why not, the fm frequencies use the same antenna as vhf and as long as you have an antenna with that capability I believe so. The splitter/booster just distributes the signal equally between each connection so there is no signal loss from too many splits. Yes,it can be used for this purpose
Question:	If this amp is not compatible with a tv broadcast rf/rx antenna, could you recommend a good one
Answer:	this device is compatible with pretty much all service providers of COAX tv service like comcast, spectrum and verizon
Question:	Can this be mounted outdoors
Answer:	If mounted outdoors it should be in a sheltered, dry location - preferably in a telecom enclosure. The power supply is rated for INDOOR USE ONLY.
Question:	Can two be daisy-chained successfully? I have one already but need more than 8 outlets in my home
Answer:	No. Daisy chaining has a high probability of failure, and is strongly discouraged. If you need more that 8 ports it is better to use a 2-way splitter to feed 2 separate amplifiers.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can just help with poor internet signal
Answer:	Sorry, If dvd player attached to Surround AV Receiver
Question:	It does work analog and digital antenna
Answer:	No you do not need more cables. The HDMI cable has both sound and video. You are going to have to trouble shoot each item starting with the cable. And work your way by eliminating each item. Is the cable new and have you used it before with any other device? My blue-ray worked straight out of the box however I had a dvd player already hooked up with HDMI so I simply used all of the same wires. If you had to test the blue-ray player then see if you can hook up some rca jacks the red yellow white ones to the audio portion of the player and the tv. That way you can at least see if you get sound from the blue-ray player. If you have a different device to use the hdmi cable with I would test that but if you have used the cable before and you know it works then yes, you need to start checking settings on the box or even the tv.
Question:	will this work with my outdoor digital antenna
Answer:	Samsung BD-H6500 vs. BD-J7500 BD-H6500 (2014 model) versus BD-J7500 (2015 model)BD-H6500 may be the best choice1) Considerably lower price2) Same user features, i. e., 3D, UHD passthrough & upscaling, etc.3) BD-6500 has excellent reviews4) Both have dual core processors for fast load speedMajor consideration is in your current entertainment system:1) BD-J7500 is a better choice for those with older HDTV's that do not have 4K UHD pass-thru as it includes (2) HDMI out. That allows connecting (1) to the HDTV and the second to an older HDMI equipped audio receiver to achieve digital audio pass-thru It also includes 7.1 analog connections for older style audio receivers.Read full review
Question:	I currently have hdtv antenna but i have keep moving it because my local channel keeps pixilating or too low of a signal. will this help me
Answer:	If you have a 4K TV, it will display the signal it's fed. If you don't have a 4K blu-ray disc then it will upconvert as best as possible but unless you have a 4K player with a 4K blu-ray disc will your 4K TV be able to put out all true 4K in all it's glory. Some blu-ray players enhance or shall we say upconvert the reg blu-ray disc better than others but I'm sure you won't be too disappointed. As time goes by, 4K discs and more 4K movie content will become more abundant and you'll be ready for the future.

User questions & answers

Question:	Waterproof for outdoor use
Answer:	It doesn’t seem to be waterproof sealed. If you’re going to use it outside I think you should plug it into a GFI outlet
Question:	what is the adjustable range
Answer:	does not include numbers just bigger or smaller range
Question:	Does the output go to the tv
Answer:	Yes, output is to the usual coaxial cable that goes to the TV Antenna connection on the back of the TV. Or in my case to a distribution hub to send the signal to several rooms.
Question:	I run a single tv off of an outdoor antenna, can i place this right at rhe tv or does it need to be a certain distance from the set
Answer:	We have the amplifier right under the wall-mounted TV sitting on the mantle. We haven't tried repositioning it elsewhere. The TV jack and outlet are next to each other. I believe it would depend on where your jack and outlet are located to really determine the distance the amplifier can be placed from the TV.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is an arpi2000 power inserter
Answer:	A way to power the amp, but since this package comes with a DC power supply, and has a place to connect the supply with the provided cable, you don't need a power inserter.
Question:	The install mentions a grounding wire. Does this device need to be grounded to work? Thanks

User questions & answers

Question:	If I have to run 15' of RG6 coax to the power port, will this affect the operation of this unit
Answer:	According to data I received on this amp it can be run out to a PA.
Question:	Can I split the signal coming out of one output
Answer:	You could play a bass through it but it was definitely designed for electric guitar. I believe orange makes bass amps.
Question:	Will this work, with a digital tv antenna
Answer:	No discreet remote available as far as I know. Your phone or tablet with the Spark app, however, works as a full function remote, controlling and overriding every knob on the amp. The app also gets you over 10,000 downloadable tones. Great amp for practice and small venues. Much more than I expected.
Question:	So the adapter plugs into a wall outlet and connects with a coaxial cable to the amplifier and the amplifier connects between an antenna and the TV
Answer:	Yep. It’s the same. I had to order this bc they wouldn’t ship to AK.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this be used with an antenna preamp
Answer:	Yes, I have a preamp running in front of this device. Doing great. If you're asking if it can be used as an antenna preamp then no.
Question:	i have a horse trailer with a roof mounted digtal antenna. will this increase my reception power
Answer:	I'm guessing the other 2 respondents might be correct, but the only reason I bought this unit was to amplify the signal I get through Time Warner cable system. This unit is supposed to amplify a signal 15%. What I don't know is if it would amplify a signal through a roof mounted digital antenna. I only paid $15 for mine and it might be worth the gamble.
Question:	Can this item be used near the TV or does it have to go in the attic next to the antenna
Answer:	For the best performance it is better to locate the amplifier close to the antenna, not the TV. This maximizes the signal-to-noise ratio, which provides the best reception. In some cases it can be very inconvenient or impractical to place the amplifier close to the antenna, in which case you can try in a more convenient location. Maybe your results will be acceptable. But if performance is only so-so, you may want to make the effort to get the amplifier closer to the antenna. Other considerations: 1. If you get an amplifier don't be fooled into thinking that more "more dB gain is better". It's not necessarily. Very high gain amplifiers can be more prone to saturation and intermodulation, which can make your TV reception worse. 8-15dB gain probably should do the trick unless you've got other problems, such as... 2. a bad TV receiver; 3. a bad or inappropriate antenna. If you're using an old antenna that wasn't designed for digital TV, it may be better to replace the antenna than to add an amplifier to an old antenna that is digital TV compatible; 4. antenna coax cable that is too long or poor quality. Don't use crummy antenna cable. Don't use pitiful RG58. RG59 at least, with quad shield. If you're a real stud, you might consider RG6. And use good connectors. This may mean buying a good quality connector crimper, not some sorry piece of junk.
Question:	Can the dB gain ever be too much for a TV
Answer:	dB is a ratio, and without a reference, doesn't have a value. Signals from an antenna are almost always in the micro-volts. The 4 output amplifier has a gain of 8dB, which is about 2.5, so the likelihood of overloading the TV's input is low, and if you have enough signal to do that, you wouldn't need an amplifier.

Product description

This is a brand new, four port cable television drop amplifier, similar to the products that your local cable company uses to correct their system's shortcomings. The amplifier allows you to connect up to four devices to a single input connection, without losing signal strength like you would with normal splitters. It boosts signal strength in an intelligent manner, by limiting the naturally stronger signals on the low frequency range and boosting the frequencies on the higher end. Since TV signals tend to natually lose strength on the high frequencies faster than the low frequencies, you are less likely to over-amplify your TV signals and cause further problems. The LSA48 provides a minimum of 0dB gain (which means no signal loss) on the low frequency end (54MHz) up to a +7.5db (approximately 5x signal gain) on the high end 1000MHz end. It improves Analog, Digital & HDTV Picture Quality, and Improves UHF/VHF/FM Antenna Reception! The unit can be used with Cable TV, OTA Antennas (Analog or Digital as long as they are non-amplified). This model packs a powerful punch in a compact, easy-to-install package! If you have multiple televisions or run a cable modem for your internet, this product is recommended. By connecting this signal booster to the cable drop coming in from the street, you can increase the signal strength and eliminate the need for additional splitters, which reduce signal strength. If you are tired of tv pictures that don't seem as clear as they should be, dropped internet connections, or just desire a reliable amplifier to give continuous, steady signal to your home or business, this is for you! Ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications, the LSA84 was engineered to withstand the harshest environmental threats with the capability of enduring repeated high power surges.

• This is a TV signal amplifier which provides one input and four outputs, for connecting multiple TV sets or cable boxes. Allows multiple devices to connect to an antenna or cable system without losing signal quality.
• Amplifier includes an integrated equalizer which varies amplifier gain. The equalizer provides more amplification to high frequency signals, which tend to get weaker over long cable runs. All ports provide an amplified signal, with a minimum gain of +0dB @ 54MHz up to +7.5dB gain @ 1000MHz.

User questions & answers

Question:	What db Noise rating
Answer:	everything makes of noise some we can hear and some our ears are not sensitive enough to hear I believe they are giving you the the noise level that this produces but double check my answer
Question:	I'm not a tech by far so my question is the item has two connectors on the top so is that for a OTA antenna and an internet cable connection
Answer:	No - if you look at the picture, you can see the left connector is for powering the amplifier. the right connector is for signal input. You cannot connect cable and OTA at the same time.
Question:	Does this include the splitter (power injector) to be used with the power in/rf out port
Answer:	The remote power option is not included with this item. You can connect a cable up to 100' from the power supply.
Question:	how does this connect to the power adapter
Answer:	Any length of standard coax cable will work - no longer than 100'. We are working on a new kit with a"super flex" power cable so that you won't have to buy one - but the cables are still in production and won't be available for a while.
