GETTING STARTED

sult your Russound dealer before proceeding

duration of the limited warranty and provides
information for insurance purposes.

System Installation Considerations

There are several factors to consider before
installing the Russound CAV6.6-S2 system:
16
• What are the intended listening zones, and
what zones require audio and video distribution
or audio only?
®
• Are A-BUS sub-zones needed? A-BUS sub-
zones are only available for zones 1 - 4. The A-
KP2 amplified keypad can provide direct source
selection for only the first four sources when in
'Multi' source mode.
• What system options and accessories might
be required for features such as paging, local
sources, etc.?
• From where in each zone will the user prefer
to control the system? Where will the keypads
be located? Where will the speakers be located?
• Where will the source equipment be located?
The CAV6.6 must have proper ventilation above
and below for air circulation and heat dissipation.
A rack-mount location may require fans and vents.

Connection Tips

• It is recommended that the CAV6.6 and the
source equipment be plugged into a dedicated
20-amp circuit with an isolated ground. A power
line conditioner can reduce interference prob-
lems caused by noise found in some electrical
systems.
• Disconnect all live power cords before making
connections to the controller.
• Verify that all connections and polarity are
correct.
• Keep all power cords away from all signal
cables to prevent humming from induced noise.
• Choose reliable signal cables/patch cords.
• Label all wires with room location at both ends
of the wire.
