📡 Enhance Reception and Audio Quality with Superbat FM Antenna Dipole for Yamaha/JVC/Sony/Bose Stereo Receivers Review

The antenna is actually a piece of wire, makes no significant difference in reception quality, although I live downtown, 4th floor and listen to the local FM station. wire would do the same. Convenience only with the connection to the receiver.

VHF signals are very demanding. When I split the dipoles in a T-shape as shown in the picture, I could not receive the station I was looking for. However, after you placed the dipoles next to each other and moved them to the right place, the station began to work. If you're trying to pick up distant signals, this works great - as long as you put it in the right spot.

It does not give better reception than the unbalanced antenna that came with my Marantz receiver. Both this and the OEM antenna have dead zones (walking in certain areas of the room while the radio is playing will completely cut reception) and background hiss from time to time. I had an old dipole with a different receiver and it worked fine for remote stations too. But it was a lot longer than this little thing. I do not recommend.

I've had several of these in my life, having been an amateur audiophile since the early 70's. We used to use them to pick up a signal from FM stations. In your college days, when you were visiting friends, you could see these antennas on the walls of the living room. Putting it on the living room wall can be a fashion/decorative blunder these days, but I still do it by hiding part of the antenna behind the tapestry next to "Stereo" (use of the word "stereo" can be pretentious). . - also…

I needed an inexpensive FM antenna for my shop stereo. I have an old Kenwood receiver and was just hoping I could find two or three transmitters in the country. To my surprise, I stopped entering my presets on the receiver at 11am and was able to recall a lot more. It works for me just as well as the large VHF antenna I had on a mast on top of a shop many years ago.

It doesn't give better reception than the asymmetric antenna that came with my Marantz receiver. Both this and the OEM antenna have dead zones (walking in certain areas of the room while the radio is playing completely cuts reception) and background hiss from time to time.

I've had quite a few of these in my life, having been an amateur audiophile since the early seventies. We used to use them to pick up a signal from FM stations.
