DAB FM Antenna Aerial Magnetic Base for Denon Pioneer Marantz Sherwood Indoor Digital DAB FM Radio Bluetooth Stereo Receiver AV Audio Vedio Home Theater Receiver

Well... I wasn't expecting blistering performance due to the cost of this unit but wanted a DAB aerial to bring an old Denon mini system back into use. At my old house reception was rubbish and I needed an external set up to get any DAB at all but in my new place, half a mile up the road, I thought I'd take a punt on trying this before splashing out and drilling holes in walls... Blimey. All digital radio stations crystal clear with this unit hidden behind the TV; no drilling required! I appreciate that RF reception is a bit of a black art and is VERY subjective to location, surroundings and every other consideration possible, but this has worked a treat for me and I'm really happy, not to say relieved that I don't have to puncture the walls of our brand new house. I can recommend this aerial for its simplicity of installation, it's unobtrusive size and it's performance. Comes with adaptors for every conceivable aerial socket I've ever come across and 3m of hardwired cable. Base is a little light to free stand but this can be achieved with fiddling. There's an included robust sticky pad if not. It's definitely worth a punt before breaking out the drill and easy to return if it doesn't help you. I'm happy.

Worked well for DAB improving reception immensely. FM reception was improved marginally. The antenna is neat and unobtrusive with an effective magnetic base and a longish connecting wire to enable placement of the antenna a good 2.5 meters away. Comes with adapters for attachment to the radio antenna port. Easy to install.

Tried the Bingfu FM antenna having had problems receiving FM radio station. Had tried several other options as well. This was by far the best. A bit difficult to get it in the appropriate location initially but still working well after 2 years. Ended up using blutack to secure it on a wooden windowsill.

Reception of was sometimes crackly and faded. This despite trying a variety of aerial extensions.I saw this and tried it. Brilliant clear reception.Easy fit, sticky patch or magnetic

The "Bingfu DAB FM Antenna Magnetic Base FM Radio Antenna for Denon Pioneer Onkyo Yamaha Marantz Sherwood Indoor Digital DAB Radio FM Radio Bluetooth Stereo Receiver AV Audio Vedio Home Theater Receiver" has an F-Type male connector on a reasonably long 3m lead that is thin and probably not shielded that may help find the best location but also includes adapters for male and female coaxial plugs and sockets as well as a 3.5 mm jack adapter that is thought to be for Bose radios (and possibly others); potentially, all likely attachment needs are met. There is not an included signal booster (a few other brands include one with similar models).The aerial is intended for use with tuners and receivers that have a single socket for both DAB and FM signals. It has a small (approx. 30mm diameter) magnetic base that attaches it firmly to any steel surface; an adhesive pad is also provided should you need to attach it to something for horizontal orientation where that applies or to a non-magnetic surface. The aerial features two 'spring oscillators' that are intended to boost signal strength (one is usual for this style). Recommendation, as is usual for any indoor aerial, is that it be placed close to a window.There are two major DAB/FM radio transmitters each well within an 8-10 Km radius and in different directions; theoretically, reception should be at least very good. However, with the aerial magnetically attached to the top of the receiver and about 50cm from a window, DAB reception was at best bitty with constant warbling; FM reception was only possible in mono - that indicates poor signal strength. When the aerial was inverted and attached below the casing, DAB reception improved to the point that reception was continuous with no warbling but FM reception was not much improved and stereo reception remained impossible. Changing the aerial's location within the scope of its lead only worsened reception.Purchased in the hope of success, its inability to deliver was not a surprise. There is a possibility that a signal booster may improve its performance and one is known to be suitable for use with DAB/FM. That will be something to try later. It was tried with some, but not total, success.Its three included adapters and adhesive pad are loose within the outer bag and could easily be lost when removing the bagged aerial; two fell to the floor unnoticed but were quickly found. A heavier base would also improve its stability.While ineffectual in a North London location, it may work well elsewhere in a less built-up area with fewer encircling tower blocks, less construction work with scaffolding and tower cranes, and without nearby railway lines and heavy local traffic.

Works well but be warned aerial will not stand up without sticking it down with the pad supplied. This makes it a bit silly. As, if you need to move it you can't. I would look elsewhere for an antenna for a dab or FM tuner if you need to do this. It does however work ok if you can find a place to set it permanently.

Most people who own a Roberts Revival Petite (1st edition) will know how poor the standard aerial is at picking up the DAB signal. This aerial has transformed the experience. Crystal clear sound on all the main DAB channels. I’ve got my aerial stuck to an old saucer using the 3M pad that came with it. You do need to stick it to a base as it wouldn’t stand up on its own. I researched and 50 ohms is optimal for DAB reception. I’ve not tried it on the FM band so can’t comment on using it for FM or a TV.

Bought this antenna for my Denon RCD M41. The ribbon antenna provided by Denon was useless and wouldn't even tune into a radio station. The Bingfu antenna has a long lead and after setting it up in different places, I found a suitable spot that gave me around 25 DAB radio stations. Although I don't get the full range of stations, it's a vast improvement from the ribbon cable. The only downside to this antenna is the base is very small and doesn't stand up on it's own, so I've had to use the double sided tape provided to stick it to a bigger base to keep it upright.
