Setup and signal routing Thanks to their network based configuration features, our Installation Amplifiers offer considerable versatility in terms of sources, signal routing, installation zones and output modes. Inputs can be freely assigned to installation zones, and those zones assigned freely to the available amplifier outputs in either Lo-Z or Hi-Z modes.

Setup and signal routing Zone Tab The Zone Tab enables installation zones to be defined and named, and provides access to further submenus. Zones might be bar or restaurant areas for example, or different rooms in a home. For all Zone Tab menus, the installation zone under configuration is selected by highlighting one of the zone identifiers (A, B, C or D) at the top of the page.

Setup and signal routing Output Tab The Output tab enables amplifier outputs to be named and provides access to further sub-menus. For all Output Tab menus, the amplifier output under configuration is selected by highlighting one of the output identifiers (1, 2, 3 or 4) at the top of the page. Note: The number of individual outputs available for configuration will depend on the Installation Amplifier model and the input, zone and output mode configuration.

Setup and signal routing Output Setup Open the configuration Dashboard and select the Output Tab. • Select the output to be configured. • Specifying a Zone as stereo will automatically generate three output channel options: left channel, right channel or summed mono. The summed mono signal can potentially be used to drive a subwoofer (left -0dB + right -0dB).
