## Overview

The Channel Master Titan 2 is a medium-gain, ultra low noise preamplifier designed to boost digital and HD TV antenna signals. Its 16dB gain strikes the perfect balance to enhance weak channels without over-amplifying strong ones. Built with a rugged, weatherproof housing and RF shielding, it’s ideal for both indoor and outdoor installations. The package includes all necessary mounting hardware and power components, making it a turnkey solution for improving signal quality, reducing pixilation, and expanding channel availability — perfect for professionals and enthusiasts seeking reliable, high-quality reception in any environment.

## Description

The Channel Master preamplifier will boost digital and HD signals received by your TV antenna. This antenna amplifier is a medium gain, low noise booster designed for use in areas that have both strong and weak signals present. Channel Master Titan 2 preamplifiers include a heavy-duty, moisture resistant housing to allow for outdoor installation in any climate. For optimal performance, install the preamplifier on a mast as close to the antenna as possible using the included U-bolt mounting hardware. This preamp is a perfect choice if you are able to receive strong signal local channels just fine but have trouble receiving channels with weaker signal strengths. Preamplifiers are also used if you anticipate distributing your signal with a digital splitter to multiple outlets throughout your house as splitters reduce the signal strength available at each output.

Review: Excellent Channel Master quality - Excellent build quality, as always, from Channel Master. Works great with a small attic mounted OTA antenna. I live in a very rural area in the mountains of central Pennsylvania and I am able to get 16 OTA TV channels. With a simple splitter, the FM stereo performance is excellent too! This preamp has just the right amount of gain. More would NOT be better.
Review: Works Perfect Rural Location - I'm an electrical engineer. I designed cable TV amplifiers and other components and very complex commercial receiving systems. I live far out in the country 65 miles from Atlanta and 35 miles from Macon, and just over 150 miles from Savannah. The closest FM station is several miles away, and there are very few commercial transmitters around. Most people would think my location needs a high gain amplifier, but that is not true. I bought two of these lower gain version amplifiers to install at the antennas to just overcome feedline losses and firmly establish system noise figures at the antennas. I wanted no more gain than that, because excessive gain over a minimum never helps signal to noise and will often cause problems. My systems are eight bay bow tie arrays with eight bays at 60 feet toward Atlanta and eight bays at 200 feet toward Savannah. They both have distribution amplifiers at the house entrance. These amplifiers did exactly as planned. They have enough gain to establish system noise temperature by these mast head amplifiers, and not by coax or distribution amplifier noise temperature. A higher gain amp would NOT improve S/N even though I am way out in a rural location. I get all of the Atlanta stations well, with only the weaker of all stations WSB 2.1-2.3 ever having loss of signal. For some reason WSB has never been good here since going digital, so they have some fading with moist atmosphere, ducts, or fog. WSAV at almost 200 miles is rock solid, as are all the Macon stations.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long is the power cable with this unit?  If I'm putting this on my roof how am I supposed to power it?**
A: The power entry unit is thru the splitter and you can place it anywhere that the RG6 cable passes near a 110 recepticle.  Plan for this.  It doesn't have to be placed at the amplifier, which should be placed just under your eave to protect it from water entry, though it is sealed.  Make the cable from the antenna to the amplifier as short as possible, but protected.

**Q: will it work on a digital antenna**
A: Sure.  I build antennas all the time and I get perfect pictures for about $15 in materials and 30 minutes of my time.  I have no problems using any signal booster on my antennas.  Really, it is just the signal that is digital and most any antenna can get a digital signal . . . but the signal booster does just what it says, it boosts the signal that the antenna receives.  Careful to buy the right booster for your area (there are two models) as one will overdrive the signal and your reception will actually be worse.

**Q: What is the output voltage and current rating on the ac adapter provided with this item?**
A: 15v DC, 300 mA

**Q: Can the amplifier be installed lower on the mast without it losing power?**
A: It may still work for you, that will depend on how strong or weak your unaplified signal is. If your in an area with a weak signal you will want the feel from the antenna to the amplifier as short as you can get it, around 1.5  - 2 feet. The longer the cabling is from the antenna to the amp the more signal strength you loose before it can be amplified, which can lead to pixelation etc. 

Cabling is not that expensive, try it longer if it works great, if it needs to be closer then get someone to help you make it shorter. 

If you are only talking 10 foot or so it probably won’t make that much of a difference. I will say make sure you have GOOD quality cable going from the antenna to to the amp. If you have old crappy cable feeding the amp you can have a lower quality signal going into the amp than if you were using good new cable. 

Hope this helps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Didn't work well for FM reception in urban areas
*by S***S on January 18, 2026*

Note: I'm assigning this four stars, since that's roughly the average rating at the time of this review. It did not work for my use case, so I want to help out future buyers with similar needs, but I don't think it's necessarily a bad product. My goal is to improve FM reception on a particular low power station in an urban area. I live in an apartment on the first floor, where I've installed an aerial antenna at roof level inside, but am unable to elevate it or put it outside, which would be better solutions for my particular issue if they were available. Note that I did open the unit up and change the FM switch to "out" before testing, so that was not the issue. I found that the product did boost FM reception, according to the signal dial on my tuner. For very strong signals, it boosted the reception and the audio quality was still good. Practically, however, these were not a problem before, so this didn't matter either way. For moderate signals, it boosted the reception, but introduced extra noise. This meant that moderate power stations that played cleanly without the booster now were practically un-listenable. For weak signals, such as the low power station that I specifically want to improve reception on, it did not seem to boost the signal much, and also introduced noise. Similar to the moderate signals, it sounded worse than without the booster. I wouldn't be surprised if the issue with the moderate and weak signals is interference with adjacent stations. Therefore, I believe this could work well in rural areas with a limited number of local stations, but would not necessarily recommend it for FM reception in urban areas.
