does this need a amplifier

Antennas Direct recommends it, so I bought the 8 terminal one they recommended, and it works great on 6 TVs in various areas of the house, and with several hundred feet of cable attached. If you have one TV and are using a 30' cable, you may not need a amplifier, but I would not know. By the way the Amplifier I bought cost $75 to $85, so they are not cheap---but they do work.

I did not need one. It splits to a total of 3 sets and none have amps and all work well.

No - mine works fine without an amplifier. Keep in mind, however, that this antenna, ClearStream4 is for UHF channels only. For us, this did not pull in VHF channels. The ClearStream5 is for VHF and is made to be hooked up with the ClearStream4. For us, the ClearStream5 did not work at all. Instead we are using a cheap $25 VHF antenna, which works on all channels except for 11 and 11.1. We are contemplating buying an amplifier, which not be on the roof with the antennas, but inside between the incoming cable and the TV. We like Jay Leno.

No amplifier needed for just one TV. If you hook up more than one TV, then yes you would need an amplifier.

you will need a preamp or a reciever with preamp outputs...its a nice unit for the money, it does have a power gain control on the back of the unit if you are pairing it with another amp..good luck

This item is not an amplifier. If you need to use speakers, need one amplif.

You do need an amp to use speakers, but it also has a headphone jack with volume control, tho I haven't used it.

No. You need a pre amp for a turntable in addition to an amp (which is this product )

Yes you will need an amp. This is the amp I used - Lanzar VCT2010 800-Watt 2-Channel High-Power Mosfet Amplifier. Sounds as good as I expected and it didn't break the bank.

Yes you do need an amp for it. I suggest pairing it with a pioneer digital amp. I have 2 of these In my TDI golf 2013 and they save so much space but have higher decibel readings then some of the extensive setups my friends have installed so far.

That depends on what you use it for. If it's your new end table, or dinning room center piece, then the answer is no. Now if you use it as a speaker for listening to music and such, then yes, some sort of powered amp will be necessary. Otherwise it would have a hole in the rear for you to sing, talk, or make noise through.

It needs an actual amplifier, but also using this Preamp with Bose 901s is kind of like having generic Cheerios everyday while there is a freezer full of Filets.You are better off getting a used name brand receiver (preamp and power amp) unless you have a power amp already in which case you will seriously want a better preamp.

No. This is a poor pre-amp gain is not enough to drive the amplifiers I have. Lots of noise. Would not recommend.

I do not use it with an amp. I use it with a Vizio sound bar. It sounds great.

You need an amp that has a phono pre-amp (phono puts out less output than digital so it needs to be boosted before it's amplified. And, of course, you'll need speakers.

It won't work without an amplifier. I have this same amp and speakers, this will work. Your need some speaker wire too. Pyle Home PCAU46A 2 x 120 Watts Mini Power Amplifier with LED Display

Hi,You would need to have an amplifier because this speaker does not have any built-in amplification, and the Art DJ II does not either.

You would need an amplifier and speakers. Or use headphones, since it has a headphone jack.

Hello. No, you will need an external amplifier to properly power a subwoofer.
