Our take on the Channel Master 3414

by Steve Kindig

Channel Master's 3414 is a compact, versatile RF distribution amplifier designed for indoor use with coaxial cables. It lets you distribute amplified antenna or cable TV signals to as many as four TVs without the signal degradation caused by splitters.

The 3414 can improve reception whether the problem is weak signal strength at your antenna, or loss of signal quality due to a long cable run. Unlike the inexpensive boosters you find in hardware stores, the 3414 is a "bi-directional" design that provides a return signal path for use with a cable box or cable modem (return signal is not amplified). The included AC power supply connects to the 3414 via a short length of coax cable, which is also included.

Good Product

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
Have this connected in my attic with a Channel Master 3010. Connected all the previous owner's direct tv cables to the signal amplifier and now I have free HDTV in multiple locations throughout the house. All without a cable/satellite bill.
Pros:
None
Cons:
Didn't come with an electrician to run a outlet in my attic. :) JK...I knew I would have to get this done when I bought it.

Channel Master 3414

Written By EricP, Berkeley Springs, WV on Wednesday, January 30, 2013
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
Excellent product! We have some long cable tv runs resulting in some irritating snow. This amplified splitter is just what we were looking for and cleared our tv pictures beautifully! Easy hook-up and instant success! Also, kudos to Crutchfield for excellent service! The product was out-of-stock for some time. The Crutchfield team let me know as soon as it was available, I ordered it and it arrived in about 3 days, well packaged and in perfect condition. Worth waiting for! Highly recommend! Thank you!?
Pros:
Quality, well made product. Easy installation. Works very well for us!
Cons:
None

Channel Master 3414 4 output RF distribution amplifier

Written By Don, Knightdale, NC on Friday, March 09, 2012
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
I needed an amplifier to feed my antenna to 4 different receivers. This was the answer and it worked with no signal over loading or any kind of enterference.
Pros:
Great amplifier with four outputs eliminating the need for a splitter. It gives a signal boost needed for longer cable runs.
Cons:
None

Simple, works great

Written By Scott, Cleveland, OH on Sunday, January 22, 2012
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
This is a very simple, well constructed device. If you use it for its intended purpose, the amp functions perfectly. It eliminated the noise, visible lines, and distortion of other low quality amps in my four TV home setup. This is a perfect amp for home or small business use. My setup was analog only, so I can't comment on digital signals, pass-through, etc.
Pros:
Small, solid build, clean and quiet power
Cons:
None

I have a two channel unit like this one. It has been super on boosting signal from 50 miles away. We needed to add two more tvs so we purchased a 4 output unit. Great amplifier.

Works like a champ!

Written By Joel, NC on Tuesday, July 26, 2011
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
installed at distribution box to boost signal from Channel Master 4228 antennae. Replaced passive splitter with this, increased the number of channels visible from 23 to 43, with very strong signal from stations 40 miles away...

It was easier to amplify at my distribution box than at the antennae which is why I bought this rather than other amplifiers.

Channel Master 3414

Written By TomB, Austin, Tx on Thursday, April 14, 2011
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
This was just what I needed to allow me to increase the output to all four of my
TVs. I was unable to get a signal to three of my TVs before I put this unit in.
Thank you Crutchfield for all your help. Your price and fast shiping was great.

Antenna Signal Amplifier A+ Again

Written By David, Cedarville, NJ on Saturday, March 26, 2011
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
Upgrading from the channel master 3410 to the channel master 3414 was another great choice. We now have two HDTV's plus our older TV. I still get great reception. Plus we added a few more stations. Now we have a total of 33 channels. We can view different channels on all the TV's, at the same time and not lose any signal strength. Thanks Again Crutchfield for a great product.
