Blaupunkt Club T48 DAB antenna

Blaupunkt Club T48 DAB

The Blaupunkt Club T48 DAB is a passive mast antenna designed for simultaneous reception of classic analog AM/FM radio and digital DAB/DAB+ broadcasting. The antenna mast is tuned for both reception types and the system includes a passive signal splitter that separates the analog and digital parts into individual outputs. This makes the Club T48 DAB suitable, for example, when retrofitting a car radio with a DAB+ tuner and you want to get both classic FM/AM and digital DAB+ signals from a single antenna location. No antenna amplifier power is required because the entire system is passive.

AM/FM and DAB+ from one antenna

The antenna covers AM 525–1705 kHz, FM 87.5–108 MHz and DAB Band III 174–240 MHz. The integrated passive splitter then divides the signal into analog and digital branches. The analog signal uses a JASO/DIN connector, while DAB/DAB+ is terminated with an SMB connector.

Swiveling antenna joint

The mounting base allows the antenna mast to be tilted by ±90°, so the angle can be adapted to the installation location and vehicle body shape. The manufacturer states the possibility of front or rear mounting in the range 0 to 90°.

Passive splitter

The kit includes a compact passive splitter for analog and digital signals with dimensions of approximately 27 × 22 × 12 mm. Because the antenna is passive, no separate 12V power supply is required.
