Page 8: Operation
In this mode, the Poly-DAR is still playing stereo files which must first be panned hard left for zone 1 and right for zone 2. We provide Audacity macros that automate the process by mixing both channels of a stereo track down to a single channel for either zone. -

Page 10: Input Activity Indicator
Controls the volume of the built-in amplifier. The set value is retained even with the power removed. Optionally, the upper and lower volume limits can be specified to ensure that the audio is never turned too high or low. You can also specify a preset level with the buttons disabled altogether. ©2022, Marilyn Systems, llc. -

Select internal or external operation of the opto-isolators. Choose “INT” when simple dry-contact closures like buttons, relay contacts, etc. are needed. In this mode, the inputs share power with the Poly-DAR and the “-“ terminal on the input connector is used to activate the inputs. -

Note that the terminal block is internally connected to the barrel jack. See figure 4 for a wiring • example. • A 24VDC 120W switching power supply will provide enough overhead when running the amplifier at full volume. ©2022, Marilyn Systems, llc. -
Page 14: Power Wiring
Power Wiring 24VDC power may be applied to the Poly-DAR using either the 2.5mm jack or terminal block (figure 7 below.) Unused power connectors should not be used to supply other devices. Figure 7 – Power wiring example ©2022, Marilyn Systems, llc. -

Amplifier Wiring Speakers Speakers should be connected to the Poly-DAR as shown in figure 8 below. Multiple speakers may be connected in series / parallel as long as the 4-ohm load limit is not exceeded. Figure 8 – Stereo speaker wiring example... -
Page 16: Input Wiring
Internal mode should be used when simple dry-contact closures are needed for input triggers. The INT/EXT switch on the back of the Poly-DAR must be set to INT. In this configuration, the “-“ negative terminal on the input connector is used to trigger the inputs. The “C” terminal is not used. Please refer to figure 10 below for a wiring example. -
Page 17: Audio Files
Naming All audio files are referenced numerically by the Poly-DAR and files must be assigned a number so that they can be found and played. This is done by simply adding a three-digit number from 001 to 500 to the front of the file name. -
