Installation should be performed by qualified service personnel, and must meet all local building codes.
PLEASE NOTE:
STEP 1: DETERMINE & SET IMPEDANCE MULTIPLICATION SETTINGS
1.) Count the total number of pairs of 4 Ohm and 8 Ohm speakers you are connecting. Count pairs of 6 Ohm speakers as
4 Ohm speakers.
2.) Determine if the amplifier can support a 4 Ohm or 8 Ohm speaker load. You can typically find this information in the amplifier
owner's manual.
3.) Determine the correct impedance match jumper position from the charts shown below. See Figure 2 if your amplifier can handle
a 4 Ohm speaker load. See Figure 3 if your amplifier can handle an 8 Ohm speaker load.
4.) Set the impedance match jumpers on all of the volume controls in the system to the same position (2X, 4X, 8X or 16X).
See Figure 1 below.
NOTICE!
Make sure to set both
impedance match jumpers on the
volume control to the same position.

Destination Audio does not recommend installing more than 8 volume controls in parallel. Destination Audio also does not recommend
installing more than two (2) 8 Ohm speakers per channel on each volume control without additional impedance protection.
PLEASE NOTE: High impedance match setting's affect on volume
Setting the impedance match jumpers higher than 2X will yield less power per pair of speakers. For example: An amplifier rated at 100
Watts per channel RMS into 8 Ohms is to be used for 8 pairs of speakers. In order to accommodate 8 pairs of 8 Ohm speakers, an 8X
impedance match setting must be used. Therefore, this will limit the 100 Watts of power to 12.5 Watts for each speaker pair, or one-
eighth of the amplifier's power.
