    1. Audio Source Input A: The D460 will accept any line level stereo audio signal. This can be from the preamp lineout of a multi-source, multi-zone whole house system such as the NuVo Simplese, Essentia E6G and Grand Concerto systems, or the audio output of any non-amplified source, such as an AM/FM tuner, CD player, or Satellite receiver.

    Grand Concerto have fixed and variable 3.5mm stereo audio outputs. To add the D460 to one of these systems, use a 3.5mm to Stereo RCA adapter cable to pass the audio signal from the NuVo Grand Concerto or Essentia E6G to the D460. Connect the 3.5mm end into the variable 3.5mm output for the chosen zone (Fig.

    +6 or a counter-clockwise turn is used to reduce the gain. This would be the preferred setting for a distributed audio system with variable preamp line outputs, such as any of the NuVo systems. Reducing the gain can also be useful for limiting the maximum power going to the speakers.
  • Page 12 Setting the power mode switch to the left in the Audio mode (Fig. 5) sets the amplifier to respond to the presence of an audio signal. If you are triggering the amplifier in this way, you should expect a slight delay before it turns on. When the audio signal is removed, the amplifier will remain on for approximately three minutes after the incoming audio signal has ended before the unit turns off.
