Antenna Glomex Ballade active DVB-T/TNT antenna with 5 m cable, 23.5 dB gain, 70 mm diameter

The Glomex Ballade active DVB-T/TNT antenna is a compact external antenna designed for receiving terrestrial digital television signals. With a 70 mm diameter housing and an integrated 5 m cable, the antenna provides a practical solution for installations where space is limited or where a small, weather-resistant antenna is required. The built-in active amplifier delivers a nominal gain of 23.5 dB to improve weak signal reception and to reduce the impact of background noise and interference.

Advantages

The antenna's active amplification increases signal strength for clearer DVB-T/TNT reception in areas with marginal coverage. Its compact round housing simplifies mounting on small masts, balconies, or vehicle roofs while offering protection against environmental factors. The integrated 5 m cable eliminates the need for immediate additional cabling and allows flexible placement relative to the receiver. Designed for easy power feeding to the amplifier, the device is suitable for both fixed and mobile setups where a powered antenna is preferred.

Suitable for

• Receiving terrestrial DVB-T/TNT broadcasts at home in apartments or houses
• Use on boats, RVs, or caravans where a compact external antenna is needed
• Temporary or semi-permanent installations on balconies or rooftops

Key specifications

• Frequency range: designed for terrestrial digital TV (DVB-T/TNT)
• Nominal gain: 23.5 dB (active amplifier)
• Housing diameter: 70 mm
• Integrated cable length: 5 m
• Amplifier powered via coaxial feed (power-fed amplifier)
• Compact, weather-resistant external housing

How to use

Install the antenna on a stable surface such as a small mast, balcony rail, or vehicle roof, ensuring the housing is oriented to face the general direction of terrestrial broadcast transmitters. Route the integrated 5 m cable to the TV receiver or set-top box and connect it to the antenna input. Provide power to the antenna amplifier through the receiver's antenna power output or an external power inserter according to the receiver's manual. After connection and powering, perform an automatic channel scan on the TV or tuner to detect available DVB-T/TNT channels. Adjust the antenna position to optimize signal quality and reduce interference.

Usage recommendations

For best results, place the antenna as high as practical and clear of large metal obstructions. If reception is still weak, try small position adjustments while monitoring signal strength and quality. Use a quality coaxial connector and avoid sharp bends in the integrated cable. When used on mobile platforms, ensure the antenna is securely mounted and the power feed connections are weatherproofed.
