Utilizing Terk's new Dual Drive Amplifier (DDA) circuitry, the Edge's signals are captured virtually noise-free. This unique DDA feature, along with a gain range from 0 to +36 dB, minimizes noise in the FM signal with a two stage filter/amplifier before boosting broadcast frequencies.

Reception sensitivity is enhanced with the newly developed Advanced Capture Circuitry (ACC), which helps lock onto signals in crowded areas, and also to improve reception for lower-powered signals.
The FM Edge shows no bias towards any one system as it hooks-up to all receivers, tuners, and mini-systems.

Features

  • Dual Drive Amplifier
    Minimizes noise in the FM signal with a two stage filter/amplifier.
  • FM Amplifier Gain
    0 to +36dB adjusts for changing reception conditions.
  • Advanced Capture Circuitry
    Improves reception sensitivity for low power signals
  • Easy Hook-up
    Connects to all receivers, tuners and shelf systems

    "I bought this because the local classical station, which comes in just fine on the FM radios in most of my house, only comes in with a lot of hissing and popping on the Bose in the room where I mostly work. It says something that I can't really be sure whether this antenna improves my reception or not. It certainly doesn't improve it enough to be worth the price. I've tried moving the antenna up to the ceilin..." Read Full Review »

    "The Terk improved reception, but the signal booster function didn't completely eliminate the static on weaker FM stations. I found I achieved similar results using about 10 feet of 18 guage speaker wire for an antenna. I kept the Terk though as it looks neater and does serve its purpose.

The silly little wire antenna that came with the receiver (although it left a lot to be desired) worked 1000% better than this unit. It …"  Read Full Review »
