Antenna amplifier Triton Picokom 1 input 2 output (model 7493, ref. 560522)

The Triton Picokom antenna amplifier with one input and two outputs is a compact RF amplifier designed to improve terrestrial TV signal reception in home and small commercial installations. It receives a single antenna feed, amplifies the signal level and provides two RF outputs for connection to two receivers or for a small local distribution. The unit is intended to reduce the impact of weak signals and offset losses caused by long cable runs or passive splitters.

Advantages

This amplifier delivers consistent gain across the UHF/VHF bands used for terrestrial television, enabling better picture and sound quality when signals are marginal. Its compact design allows installation close to the antenna or near the entry point of the building to limit cable loss. With one input and two outputs, it simplifies splitting a single antenna feed without requiring an external powered splitter, and its low-noise characteristics help preserve signal-to-noise ratio for connected receivers.

Suitable for

• Small apartments or houses where a single antenna signal must be fed to two TVs
• Attic or rooftop installations to boost weak terrestrial TV reception
• Short-run distribution in small commercial premises or waiting rooms
• Situations where cable length or passive splitting causes noticeable signal degradation

Key specifications

• Configuration: 1 RF input, 2 RF outputs for terrestrial TV distribution
• Frequency coverage: designed for terrestrial VHF/UHF broadcast bands
• Function: active signal amplification to compensate cable and splitter losses
• Form factor: compact housing suitable for mounting near antenna or entry point
• Noise performance: low-noise design to maintain signal quality

How to use

Connect the antenna feed to the amplifier input coaxial connector and run coaxial cables from the two RF outputs to the respective receivers or wall outlets. Power the amplifier according to the manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring power supply polarity and voltage match the device requirements. Place the amplifier as close as practical to the antenna or the building entry to minimize unamplified cable length. After installation, check signal levels at each receiver and, if necessary, adjust antenna orientation or amplifier position for optimal reception.

Usage recommendations

Use high-quality coaxial cables and maintain good connector integrity to maximize the benefit of the amplifier. Avoid over-amplifying by checking signal strength at receivers; excessively strong signals can cause distortion. For installations with multiple split points or long distributed runs, assess total system gain and consider professional planning to avoid cascaded amplification issues.
