A 5024 Multi-Zone Amplifier
Overview
Congratulations on purchasing the A 5024 multichannel
amplifier. It is suitable as a stand alone system for multi
room (multi zone) installations, or for connection to an
A 5020 matrix controller for more advanced audio
switching (contact your dealer for more information on
the A 5020).
The A 5024 provides up to 6 stereo speaker zones or 12
mono speaker zones or a combination of both.
Each zone can be configured to accept either a dedicated,
or common input source.
Any combination can be used allowing for instance
background music to be playing in dining room & enter-
taining areas while home theatre effects are playing in
the lounge.
The BUSS input is best used when it is connected to an
audio switching device such as a home theatre receiver.
This allows you to quickly switch audio sources across
multiple zones at once.
