  • Page 9: Ip Network Requirements

    Connect all Savant devices to the same local area network (LAN), virtual local area network (VLAN), or subnet as the host. Savant recommends not implementing any type of traffic or packet shaping in your network topology for the Savant devices as this may interfere with performance.

  • Page 10: System Design Considerations

    5. System Design Considerations The SmartAudio matrix has different functionality than other Savant audio switchers. When designing s system, be sure and follow these guidelines in order for the system to function as intend once configured and installed. • Unlike Savant Pro Switchers, multiple outputs on the SSA-3220/SSA-3220D cannot be combined into a single zone to support multiple speakers.
