Radio Tuners

A radio tuner receives radio broadcasts and converts them into audio-frequency signals which can be fed into an amplifier driving a loudspeaker. Radio tuners are found in several different forms; stand-alone as a separate component as seen on this page, integrated into a stereo preamplifier (tuner preamp) and integrated into a stereo receiver or home theater receiver.

FM tuner, AM tuner, DAB tuner, etc. are types of radio tuners dealing with transmissions using different methods of modulation. All of the radio tuner models we carry receive FM and AM broadcast while some models offer additional reception options including satellite radio.

As with other high-performance audio components, a separate stand-alone radio tuner as exemplified on this page generally speaking offers the highest audio performance and flexibility within either a complete separates audio system or as an add-on to an integrated stereo amplifier. Many people who make this investment will tell you that the rewards in performance are well worth their cost.

While all radio tuner models offered within our selection come with basic antenna options, we'd recommend adding a powered antenna to help you get the most performance out of your tuner. For your convenience, we offer a full range of antenna options in which you may select.

Radio tuners that offer satellite radio capability are satellite radio ready and require additional equipment and a subscription to Sirius/XM to receive their broadcast.
