Backup Amplifier Wiring
Any amplifier may be designated (through configuration) as a backup amplifier per node when
backup is required. Use of 25V or 70V must be restricted to one or the other per node. The
backup amplifier can be any amplifier installed in any audio cabinet per each node.
The number of backup amplifiers is limited to one per node. Only the first failed amplifier gets
the backup. The backup amplifier is set up by configuration. Select one amplifier on a
backplate and it will be a backup for the other amplifier circuits on the QMB-6000. To backup
any other amplifiers on the next backplate, the designated Backup Amplifier must be wired A+
and A- to the + and - terminals of the Backup Bus Supervision Continuation terminals and the
other + and - terminals of this connector to the next backplate. The End of Line resistor for the
backup amplifier should be connected at the last backplate.

Notes for Wiring Charts: For each speaker zone, select the total zone power. Distance
shown is calculated to the last speaker, based on the worst case with all speakers lumped
at the end. Calculation is base on a 1db power loss (20%) and a source of 70V or 25V.
