Antenna System: 
SRD-ANT-4-PAK 

Introduction 

The SRD-ANT-4-PAK is a high quality outdoor antenna system designed for use 
with up to four Crestron

®

 XM or SIRIUS

®

 satellite radio tuners. The inclusion of an 

SRD-SPL-4 Four-Way Amplified Splitter enables distribution of the antenna signal 
to four separate tuners while allowing the antenna to be positioned up to 200 feet 
(cable length) from the tuners using standard RG-6 cable (not included).  

The antenna features a considerably narrower beam width compared to standard 
consumer antennas, achieving superior gain and multi-path rejection. Additional 
front end filtering provides excellent rejection to nearby out-of-band RF signals from 
sources such as Wi-Fi, cellular telephones, and cordless telephones. 

A wall mount bracket with elevation and azimuth adjustments is provided for 
installation of the antenna to any horizontal or vertical flat surface. The additional  
U-bolt and saddle enable mounting to a pole (not included) up to two inches in 
diameter. Connections between the antenna and splitter are achieved using industry 
standard RG-6 cable and F-type connectors (not supplied).  

Four 3-foot F-to-SMB adapter cables are included for connecting each tuner to the 
splitter outputs. If needed, standard RG-6 cable with male F-connectors (not 
supplied) may be used to extend the output cable lengths up to 70 feet from each 
individual splitter output to the tuners. Adding an SRD-AMP-1 line amplifier (sold 
separately) at the input of the splitter will enable longer output cable lengths of up to 
200 feet each. 

NOTE:

 Unused splitter outputs do not have to be terminated for proper operation. 

A 20 dB power passing attenuator is also included for use in preventing overload of 
the splitter input in any installation that is located near a high power satellite radio 
terrestrial repeater.
