Bring Out the Best in Your FM Tuner
The finest FM tuner in the world won't perform much better than a mediocre component if you don't have it connected to a quality antenna. Don't starve your tuner for signals. Feed it the RF nourishment it needs with the Magnum Dynalab ST-2. It brings out the best in any quality tuner or receiver.
"Even indoors, it worked very well," reports Paul Schumann in SoundStage! magazine online.
This powerful single element dipole FM antenna is the best affordably priced indoor/outdoor antenna we've tested! The 54" long Magnum Dynalab ST-2 is omnidirectional. It improves reception in both urban and rural areas and works when placed vertically or horizontally. The 1/2 wave length ST-2 is weather-sealed and offers 2.5 dB of signal gain. Comes with "L" mounting bracket and 24 feet of cable.
A Powerful FM Antenna with Many Performance Advantages
A more powerful FM Antenna than any single element dipole antenna, the ST-2 vertical antenna is probably one of the best things ever to happen to FM listeners in urban and fringe reception areas alike. Concentrating its reception “focus” only on the horizontal plane, the ST-2 FM Antenna is capable of getting more signal to your FM tuner with less “flutter” and “fading.”
The ST-2 FM Antenna is also less susceptible to “multipath interference,” due to its unique vertical polarization.
Right from its PH17-7 stainless steel whip through to the stainless-steel encased, precision-wound loading coil, the ST-2 FM Antenna is built tough. Yet it passes the most fragile of FM signals to your FM tuner’s circuitry with the kind of strength sometimes found only with much larger, multi-element FM antennas.
Being a 1/2 wave design and not requiring a “ground plane” or counterpoise,” it is equally at home mounted on a mast, a balcony, hanging in the window or from a tree. The ST-2 FM Antenna offers greatly enhanced FM tuning performance, and signal strength.
Indoor vs. Outdoor Use
The ST-2 antenna combines excellent bandwidth and a slight amount of gain to ensure that whether your setting is rural or urban, there will be a marked improvement in performance when it is used. In urban settings, this antenna will do fine indoors or outdoors.
However, if you are living in a rural area, or below sea level with large hills or mountains surrounding you, for improved performance mount the antenna outdoors or at the highest point on the building where it will be used.
