Xantech AV-61 Installation Instructions

AUDIO/VIDEO 6-WAY DISTRIBUTION AMPLIFIER
GENERAL INFORMATION
• The AV-61 is a low noise, low distortion unity gain distribution amplifier for line level stereo audio and video
baseband signals.
• It splits audio and video signals six ways with no signal loss.
• It prevents audio distortion in multiple zone systems by buffering the source units from the loading effects
of several AV receivers or preamps.
• The space saving "flat pack" design allows great flexibility in mounting and positioning.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Audio/Video Distribution
Fig. 2, shows the distribution of video (baseband) and stereo audio signals to three TV monitors and three
VCRs from a singleDVD player via the AV-61. Many other combinations of AV or audio only products could
be configured in a similar manner.
Zoned Systems
One of the most useful applications of the AV-61 is to drive several receivers or preamps from common
sources in multiple zone A/V systems. Fig. 3 illustrates the use of four AV-61's to drive four receivers from
four sources in a typical four zone system. Use it when configuring zoned systems with the Xantech 795
and 796 IR Zone Controllers.
