    Delta Installation - Quick Start Steps 1. Connect the Source Units to Delta Plug RCA audio cables from each source device into the labeled RCA jacks at the back of the Delta Controller. Ensure that right and left are connected correctly. Then connect the IR emitter leads for each audio source into the appropriate connector on the back of the Delta Controller and run the optical end of the emitter lead to the source device’s IR receiver window.

    Delta Installation - Quick Start Steps 4. Power Up and Test the Basic System Operation Make sure the Delta Controller is plugged into the wall and the power switch on the back panel is in the ON position. The Delta system should now be ready for initial testing. To test the system connections, activate one source from a keypad.

    Delta Installation - Quick Start Steps Tone Control The tone control mode allows the user to adjust Bass, Treble, and Balance on a “per zone” basis. To enter tone control mode, press VOL UP & VOL DOWN buttons simultaneously until LED’s begin to cycle in a counter-clockwise motion.

  • Page 15: Wiring And Connections

    See the Multiple Keypads in a Zone section on page 26 for details. Note to Professional Installers AMX always recommends professional installation for our products. As with any entertainment product in a home or commercial application, a Delta system installation will go much faster and more smoothly if job plans are completed prior to the actual installation.

  • Page 16: Cable Type

    Wiring and Connections Cable Type The Delta Controller is cabled using standard 4-conductor speaker cable originating at the Delta control unit passing through the keypad and terminating at the speaker location. Matrix Audio Designs generally recommends using a bundled 4 conductor 16 gauge stranded copper wire in a single continuous run. The keypads also function with Cat 5 or basically any 2 conductor wire configuration that is not used for other devices.

  • Page 17: Considerations For Existing Construction

    Wiring and Connections Considerations for Existing Construction For existing construction, successful implementation can be achieved by using retrofit electrical boxes that do not require stud mounting or metal electrical frames which are commonly used for telephone and cable installations. These “afterthought” low voltage electrical boxes can be placed in a standard opening in the wall.

  • Page 18: Considerations For Outdoor Zones

    Keypads installed outside must be inside a weatherproof box with a cover that seals out moisture. Keypads returned to AMX for repair that are found to be corroded will not be covered under the AMX Warranty.

  • Page 19: Am/Fm Tuner Connections

    FIG. 5 Source Unit to Controller Connections Source Input #1 is left open because the default is the internal AM/FM tuner. The Delta Controller learns the IR commands for power on/off during the programming setup. Source components are turned on when they are selected on the keypad. The source remains on until it has been idle in all zones for a duration of 10 minutes, then Delta will automatically turn it off until it is selected again.
  • Page 20 Wiring and Connections Depending on the installation location, it may be necessary to use a powered FM antenna to receive clear FM stations. When an AM/FM tuner has been installed, input #1 will default to the internal tuner and the RCA input jacks will not be active for source #1.

  • Page 21: Standard 4 Wire Keypad Connections

    Wiring and Connections Standard 4 Wire Keypad Connections The standard installation of keypads to the Delta Controller is with 4 wires directly between the Controller’s zone output and the keypad’s input (right side connector of the keypad), as shown in FIG. 7. FIG.

  • Page 22: Wire Keypad Connections (Control Only)

    Wiring and Connections 2 Wire Keypad Connections (Control Only) In some retrofit configurations it is not feasible or possible to re-route the speaker cable through the keypad. In cases such as this, it is possible to run a separate cable pair (CAT- 3 / CAT- 5 / CAT- 6 / Twisted Pair / Other 2 conductor wiring) cable from the Delta Controller to the keypad device for control purposes.

  • Page 23: Multiple Keypads In A Zone

    Multiple Keypads in a Zone Certain situations such as large rooms or rooms with more than one common entrance may require more than one keypad control to conveniently manage the zone. This configuration allows for 2 Matrix keypads to be placed on the control circuit. Make sure that the second (AUX) keypad has the wire loop cut so that it’s addressed to the Delta Controller as an auxiliary keypad, rather than a “MAIN”...

  • Page 24: Matrix Keypad Plus Analog Volume Controls

    Wiring and Connections Matrix Keypad plus Analog Volume Controls In cases of split zones where more than one set of speakers are driven from the same zone output (such as a master bath off of the master bedroom) it is sometimes desirable to place independent volume controls in the split zones while retaining the Delta Keypad for source control and ON/OFF functions.

  • Page 25: Auxiliary Amplifier Configuration (Zone 1)

    Wiring and Connections Auxiliary Amplifier Configuration (Zone 1) In some cases you may require more power for a given zone than the Delta Controller can provide. FIG. 11 shows how to utilize the preamp RCA outputs on the Delta Controller for an external amplifier. This may be useful when outdoor or large rooms make up the zone, or in situations where the number of speakers will require a multi-channel amplifier to safely power them all.

    Wiring and Connections Wiring TO the speakers in the zone connects here FIG. 13 Orientation of Connectors Preparing the Wires When working with the SWT connector, only strip away about 1/4” inch (about 6mm) of the insulation from each wire. Most common electrical problems occur when the wire is stripped too long, and they short out against neighboring wires behind the wall.

  • Page 29: Installation Into The Wall Cavity

    Installation into the Wall Cavity 1. After wiring is complete, simply push the wiring back into the wall cavity and make sure there is enough room for the Matrix keypad to comfortably fit into the opening. Do not force the keypad up against wiring or other obstructions if it cannot fit flush to the mounting holes because damage can occur to the circuit board of the keypad.
