Maximum XO-64 Quad Monoblock LNB 6° – 4 Outputs and 0.1 dB

The Maximum XO-64 is a Universal Quad Monoblock LNB designed for simultaneous reception from two satellite positions separated by approximately 6°. It can be used for Hotbird 13°E and Astra 19.2°E or for the Nordic combination of Thor 0.8°W/1°W and Astra 4.8°E, formerly commonly known as Sirius.

The LNB combines two feedhorns, an integrated DiSEqC 1.0 switch and four independent outputs in one unit. It can therefore supply up to four single-tuner satellite receivers or, for example, two Twin Tuner receivers.

Each connected tuner can independently select its satellite position, polarisation and frequency band. Users can watch different channels and satellites simultaneously, provided that every tuner is connected to its own LNB output.

Its specified 0.1 dB noise figure, Universal LNB operation and wide operating temperature range make the Maximum XO-64 a practical solution for homes and multi-user systems requiring two satellites from one dish.

🛰️ Satellite Combinations and DiSEqC

For the Thor/Astra combination, the positions are sometimes rounded to 1°W and 5°E.

The reference to “DiSEqC B 5°W” in older technical information appears to be a typographical error. For a 6° combination with Thor 1°W, the intended position is Astra 4.8°E/5°E, not 5°W.

Always check the markings on the supplied product and verify the port order through the receiver’s signal menu.

🔧 Connection and Operation

Connect each receiver or tuner by its own coaxial cable to one of the LNB’s four F-outputs.

Recommended receiver settings:

• LNB type: Universal

• Low-band LO: 9750 MHz

• High-band LO: 10600 MHz

• Satellite switching: DiSEqC 1.0

• Low band: 0 kHz

• High band: 22 kHz

• Vertical polarisation: 13V

• Horizontal polarisation: 18V

For Hotbird and Astra, normally use:

• DiSEqC A: Hotbird 13°E

• DiSEqC B: Astra 19.2°E

For Thor and Astra 4.8°E, normally use:

• DiSEqC A: Thor 0.8°W/1°W

• DiSEqC B: Astra 4.8°E

A Twin Tuner receiver normally requires two separate cables and two LNB outputs for fully independent viewing and recording.

📡 Capacity

Capacity should be calculated by the number of tuners. Each tuner requires its own output and coaxial cable for fully independent operation.
