MOON AIR Analog FM Tuner 

 

Antenna Selection

 

 

There are two (2) antenna inputs using 75

 on F-connectors located on the rear panel of the AIR, and 

labelled “A1” and “A2”. You can alternate between these antenna inputs by simply pressing and 
holding down the “BW 1/2” button for three (3) seconds.  The default setting is “A1”. When the “A2” 
antenna input is selected, “A2” indicator LED on the front panel display will illuminate. To switch back 
to the “A1” antenna input, press and hold the “BW1/2”  button until the “A2” indicator LED goes off.  

 

Antenna Suggestions 

 

The small piece of wire included should only be used as a temporary device. To obtain maximum sonic 
performance from the AIR tuner, we suggest using a better quality FM antenna that can be purchased 
from your dealer  There are three (3) types of antennas for FM reception: 
 
 

Folded dipole 

 

This is the most common and the simplest of all antennas (like the one you receive with most 
electronic gear). This piece of wire is bi-directional and the performance of it is affected by the angle 
that the signal hits the piece of wire.  
 
 

Vertical ½ Wave 

 

This type of antenna offers ease of operation. The design is omni-directional which means that it picks 
up stations coming from all directions. Therefore, there’s no need for a rotor. It provides 2.5dB gain to 
the signal strength in comparison to a standard dipole. If excessive multipath is a common reception 
problem try laying the antenna down on the horizontal plane as opposed to standing up in the vertical 
plane.  This type of antenna can be used both indoors and outdoors. The performance of this type of 
antenna will greatly benefit from being mounted at the highest possible altitude, regardless of whether 
it’s installed indoors or outdoors.  
 
 

Yagi (Multi-elements) 

 

The Yagi type of antenna is a unidirectional antenna capable of pulling in very distant stations due to 
its high gain.  Due to its very directional nature, it should be used with a rotor to get the maximum 
benefits. The directional feature significantly helps eliminate multipath problems.
