DAB/DAB+/AM/FM Splitter with signal amplifier  

maxxcount.de No.: A17096 / Manufacture No.: 2002-10 
 

  DAB /DAB+ receiving over original car antenna 

  simply installation of DAB radio device 

  no exchanging of original car antenna 

  decoupled signal output for radio and DAB unit 

  no interference with impedance variations 

  useable for antenna with phantom power supply 

  easy plug-in installation 

  adapter for various antenna connector optional 

 
This 

DAB interface

 allows the connection of a DAB/DAB + 

radio to the original car antenna

. The active antenna 

splitter splits the signal of 

the original FM car antenna

 for FM and DAB / DAB + receiver. Perfect for the easy 

installation of a DAB receiver. There 

is no need of complicated replacing

 the antenna.  

 
The 

DAB antenna splitter

 provides amplified signal from the car antenna for the FM and the DAB / DAB + input of 

the radio. The normal losses from conventional antenna splitters are balanced by the 

integrated amplifier

. The 

new  

technique

 achieved mostly even an 

improved FM reception

.  

 
 
 

Connection: 

Disconnect antenna cable from radio and 

plug 

DAB interface

 

between

. Plug the each 

antenna connector to FM and DAB input from 
car radio. 
 
The integrated antenna amplifier receives its 

operating voltage

 through the 

phantom 

power

 of radio. (Phantom power: 12V voltage 

output from the antenna connector on the radio, 
for use with active antenna) 
 
If your radio has 

no phantom power

 you have 

to connect the operating voltage with the red 
wire. 

If possible, using for 12V power supply

 

the 

"switching antenna output"

 or 

“amplifier 

remote”

 on the radio to avoid 

discharging the 

battery and interference

 with receiving 

causes trough the electrical system. Does the 
radio do not have these connections using 
ignition voltage. 
 

If you are

 

not sure

 if the radio provides 

phantom power, you simply test the function of 
the DAB splitter. Is the FM radio reception 

much worse than before, the red wire must be connected to voltage as described. 
 
 
It is no problem to connect the external voltage even thought the supplying phantom power of the radio. The active 
DAB splitter has also the function of 

a phantom power supply

 (supply voltage for active antenna). You 

don’t need

 a 

separate phantom power adapter. 
 

Note for combination with active antennas:

 its no possible to use the DAB splitter if the active antenna has a 

frequency band filter. The DAB frequency must pass on the amplifier of the antenna. 
 

More hint´s: 

  Look for a tight fit of the connectors and try to avoid tension during installation the radio.  

  The quality of the radio reception is affected by many factors (e.g. local conditions, antenna or cable laying). 

 

Do not position the DAB splitter near charging connectors, e.g. navigation charger cable.
