One of the key advantages of the MX-062 model is its versatility – it has one input for FM and VHF bands and two dedicated UHF inputs, which allows for precise summing of signals from different directions. The device is characterized by an exceptionally low self-noise level, which is critical for receiving weaker DVB-T2 digital signals. A solid, die-cast housing placed inside a compact plastic cover ensures excellent shielding and full resistance to harsh weather conditions, such as rain or extreme temperatures.
An additional advantage is the 12V voltage transmission function (DC pass) to antenna preamplifiers. Using a simple On/Off switch, the user can decide whether to power an additional active element in the antenna with up to 60mA of current. The amplifier is extremely energy-efficient and can be powered by a typical 12V/100mA power supply with a separator or directly via a coaxial cable from other active devices in the system. Choosing Terra brand products is an investment in durability and the highest quality of terrestrial television reception.

The MX-062 masthead amplifier from the renowned Terra brand is a professional solution designed for modern antenna installations, both individual and small collective systems. The device is ideal for single-family homes where there is a need to distribute the signal to several end sockets without losing image and sound quality. Thanks to a high maximum output level of up to 105dBµV, the amplifier guarantees stable operation even in extensive passive networks.

Operating frequency ranges
The device supports three main radio and television bands: FM (88 MHz ... 108 MHz), VHF (174 MHz ... 230 MHz), and UHF (470 MHz ... 862 MHz), which allows for full reception of analog radio and DVB-T2 digital terrestrial television.
Signal gain parameters
The amplifier offers stable gain at the level of: FM: 30 dB, VHF: 30 dB, and UHF: 34 dB. Such parameters allow for effective compensation of signal losses on long cable sections and splitters.
Noise characteristics
Exceptionally low self-noise of the device: FM: 6 dB, VHF: 6 dB, and UHF: only 3 dB. Low noise in the UHF band is crucial for stable reception of HD and 4K channels in digital technology.
Output level IMA3
The maximum output level is 105 dBµV (at IMD3=60dB, DIN45004B), which allows for powering an installation consisting of several subscriber sockets without the risk of signal distortion.
Return loss
This parameter is above 10 dB, which indicates high-quality impedance matching of the device to the rest of the antenna installation, minimizing signal reflections.
Input and output configuration
The device is equipped with 3 physical inputs (FM+VHF, UHF1, UHF2) and 1 collective output. This allows for summing signals from different antennas without using additional combiners.
Shielding and isolation
The amplifier has full electromagnetic shielding thanks to the use of a metal casting inside the housing, which protects the signal from external interference (LTE, WiFi, GSM).
Impedance and connector type
Standard input and output impedance is 75 Ω. Professional 'F' type connectors are used, which ensure quick installation and minimize losses at the contacts.
Housing construction
Dual construction: an internal metal casting protecting the electronics and an external, compact housing made of high-quality plastic resistant to UV radiation and moisture.
Environmental conditions
The device is adapted for continuous operation in harsh outdoor conditions in the temperature range from -20 °C to +50 °C.
Power supply and current consumption
The required power supply is 12 V DC. The current consumption by the device itself is 80 mA, which makes it very economical to operate.
DC Pass function (Preamplifier power supply)
The built-in On/Off switch allows for transmitting 12 V voltage and current up to 60 mA to a preamplifier mounted directly in the antenna box.
Mounting and installation
The universal mounting system allows for stable installation of the device directly on an antenna mast or on a building wall using screws.
Signal processing logic
The MX-062 device does not have an external software interface, however, its internal signal distribution logic is based on precise band filtering. The electronic circuit implements advanced DC-pass voltage management, which allows for intelligent power transmission to antenna preamplifiers (12V/60mA) using a physical On/Off switch. This process eliminates the need for additional power supplies at the antennas, which significantly simplifies the network architecture and increases its reliability in harsh weather conditions. The entire amplification process is optimized to minimize intermodulation distortion.
