Audio Distribution System Crestron Adagio™ AADS
The recommended FM antenna is an outdoor type, commonly available in
electronics stores. Use of the supplied indoor FM antenna is recommended only if
you cannot use an outdoor antenna. Outdoor antennas are particularly needed in rural
areas, some distance from FM radio signal sources. The FM antenna supplied with
the AADS is a T-type, and it should be stretched horizontally in space that is as clear
as possible. Some reorientation may be necessary if signals in your area are weak.
Best results usually can be achieved if the length of the antenna faces the
metropolitan area originating the FM signals that you wish to receive. The supplied
antenna has a fitting at its end that will enable you to fasten it in place.
For XM operation, the antenna should be oriented toward the southern sky where the
satellite is located. If the antenna is placed outdoors, it should be in an area where
there are no obstacles within 20 to 60 degrees of elevation facing the southern sky.
The antenna should be placed on a flat surface that is parallel to the ground. If the
antenna is placed where obstacles such as buildings or trees are in the path to the
satellite, the antenna may not receive radio signals from the satellite. Certain areas
provide satellite radio ground repeaters that retransmit satellite radio signals.
Antenna extension cables are available from your dealer or from Crestron.
