FIG. 1 Carbon XA Amplifiers - Front view (DAS-AMP4 shown) The DAS-AMP4 Carbon XA 4-Channel Amplifier is a 4-channel amp that supports an additional 2 speaker pairs per unit. The DAS-AMP8 Carbon XA 8-Channel Amplifier is an 8-channel amp that supports an additional 4 speaker pairs per unit.
5 seconds. When audio is sensed at the input, the device will un-mute the speakers and the volume may be controlled by the keypad or remote. The switch time between muting and un-muting is approximately 200 milliseconds.

This remarkable technology removes the need for control wire since the control and audio signals are shared on the same wire. The reliability and simplicity of this system has been proven for years. AMX Matrix Audio is the only company that offers a “retrofit solution”, one which allows the replacement of volume controls with AMX Matrix Audio keypads and Controllers, giving full control over the sources.
The Carbon XA Amplifier is cabled using standard 4-conductor speaker cable originating at the Mi-Series Audio Controller, passing through the Keypad, and terminating at the speaker location. AMX recommends using a bundled 4-conductor 16-gauge stranded copper wire in a single continuous run.
