Does anyone know how many DB this can lower the signal? Are we talking 3db or closer to 12db?

If you are talking volume control, it can mute the sound if desired. I use it to control the volume of my stereo in my rock crawler (iphone connected to amp) and it works great.

On my system if I turn it all the way down, my amp is basically turned off.

The pac-audio website seems to imply the insertion loss is 1.3dB (the sentence is cut off, but I believe this is what they mean). That corresponds to a 13% loss in power (note: most dB values do not convert to % this easily), and much less than 13% in perceived volume. (The human perception of "loudness" is not linearly related to power)

Use a larger ground wire and turn down the gain a little but that will only help a little

Yeah I agree with Danny, but with some creative engineering you can still boost the signal distance. The only way to boost the signal of something like this would be to utilize the interrupt pin and have it trigger from a read on the external antenna, Which would actually be pretty interesting to code and build. Hope this helps!

Average of 32 db across the band. Some freq. have higher or lower db reduction.

I live in Waldorf MD. I am about 35 miles from our towers as well. I tried 3 antennas. Clearstream 2V, DB8e, and the Winegard HD 7694P. The Clearstream 2V worked pretty good, DB8e not as good for me, and the Winegard worked the best by far. Higher is better. I ended up with the 7694 a preamp and distribution amplifier to send throughout the house. I got about 30 channels on the Clearstream but it took a lot of tweaking. The DB8e never dialed in as well. The 7694 worked great the moment I set it down.

Also you can get more precise signal information by going to settings then about phone at the very bottom then status and you can see signal strength which deals with dbs or dmbs meaning the less negative the better. I learned that -100 is good and -120 is really bad.-85 is great. Ever consider going to VZ and not iPhone just for reception reasons and nothing else?

I was under the impression that it could do 12-16 db reduction based on reading about it. Those numbers are in perfect testing environments most likely. This product might do more for vibration then sound, probably best used as a floor underpayment. I used mine on a wall. Id say actual db reduction is minimal, 1-6 db.

It should increase your reception, but I wouldn't guarantee it. I have bought two other amplifiers that have 25 db which work great but they don't sell them anymore.. I have not had the same response with this one.

Specifically, I bought two of these units and due to poor design (plugin nut not tightened) I twisted an internal wire and broke it.I am not using the other unit. A signal declines over the distance it travels in a cable. I have 150' (2 75') of cable with two 22dB amplifiers on a HD antenna and it works for me.

I got 50ft from the antenna inside and 50ft from the amp to the indoor antenna. This kit works great! But I would look into the 75db version for better indoor range. It really depends on your signal outside. If you have some service outside then it will probably work great. I have no service at all outside or in and now I do:)

You should never do that, you need a preamplifier to boost the signal. Try a little audio mixer.

Those that are suggesting to use a 3.5mm over a digital is totally out of their minds! Coaxial is the best way to go for the cleanest signal, its like, you rather use a cassette tape over a CD? Really..?!

Hi,What do you mean standard speaker wire? if you use a bigger wire than original is better for the signal.

Herringshaw- Yes it will add about 3db to the signal. I am using one on my Rythmic F12 subwoofer. The subwoofer sums the two inputs. It has nothing to do with giving the sub "the full range of sound", it merely supplies it with a stronger signal from the two inputs. Hope that helps, and BTW this is a very nice splitter.

Yes! Significantly I might add... The main issue is the interfacing to a 2.4GHz source... Most items don't have a connector to plug into... I believe the FCC has something to do with this! Solve that,,, and you can do Wifi perhaps at 1000 feet or so in one specific direction... So my main point is you must have a detachable antenna on the targeted device you wish to boost the dB's with... "Got it!" This Amt. use SMA Screw type-of miniature connectors... The other being snap-on... I will add that this style of SM_'s is the best of this family! So start looking for an matching adapter for all else...

I'm not sure how it works... but when I switch channels my receiver shows how it adjusts such as -3db or +2 db to even it out. There's also 3 kinds of night mode: low, medium, and high that could also help.Actually I just looked at it... it says "Dialog Norm" then it lists the dB adjustment.Edit: I finally had a chance to look around at it. I guess it is only on the 876 and 906. I guess I never realized the volume difference since most of the time I skip commercials since I use a DVR. Sorry for the trouble man.
