    INSTALLATION MANUAL Stereo Zones To create an independent stereo zone, simply connect the S86A’s Speaker Outputs to a pair of speakers. Make sure to take into account the amplifier’s 8 Ohm minimum impedance when choosing and configuring speakers. Volume will be controlled using IR or RS-232 commands at pre-amp level. Any and all speakers connected to these chan- nels will ramp volume up/down together.

  • Page 20: Stereo Zone W/ Stereo Sub-Zone

    If using ELAN electronic volume controls, system and source control is possible using a hand-held remote control. This application uses one pair of amplifier channels from the S86A and one pair of amp channels from the external amplifier. Many areas of the home are ideal for zone/sub-zone configuration.

  • Page 21: Stereo Zone W/ Mono Sub-Zone

    Although the subzone has independent control of volume, it always shares the same source with the main zone. If using an ELAN electronic volume control in the sub-zone, system and source control is possible using a hand-held remote control. Figure 2-4 shows a typical example showing a stereo zone with a mono sub-zone.
