Xantech D5SH Quick Start Manual

Start Here
This setup guide is intended for the D5SH and D5SH4 wall-mount Digital Distribution
System. The D5SH is a single source distribution hub, the D5SH4 is a four source
distribution hub. Each D5SH or D5SH4 requires one D5PS power supply. For ease of
reading, the distribution hub will be referred to as the model D5SH.
Determine the best location for the D5SH and all audio source equipment
(CD player, radio tuner, iPod®, etc.)
Run a Cat5 wire from each room (Zone) Keypad location to the D5SH
Run speaker wiring (16 gauge is recommended) from each Keypad location to
the corresponding speakers located in each room
Be sure to label all wires for easy identification

For maximum audio performance over
long wiring distances (over 150ft) an
additional 16 gauge, 2 conductor wire
is recommend for extra power.
For all zones requiring extra power,
connect the "24 VDC POWER OUT" of
the D5SH to the "POWER IN" of the D5KP.
For more information, consult the D5SH
manual.
Strip approximately 1/4" of insulation
from both ends of all speaker wiring.
Twist the exposed end of the wire to
ensure no loose strands remain.

Verify Audio for Each Source
Ramp volume up to the halfway point.
Starting with Source 1, select each source and verify that audio is present through the
room speakers.
7
If Necessary, Adjust Source Input Gain for Analog Source Inputs
There are two reasons that the Source Input Gain DIP switches may need to be adjusted:
The volume levels of analog source inputs are high adjust the
DIP switches up or down to boost or cut input level
If there is noticeable distortion (clipping) coming from analog
source, even at low volume levels - check the clip indicators on
the front of the D5IP to verify clipping and flip the DIP switch to
the down (default) position
