System Overview - Linear Encore User Manual

The diagram below shows how the
signals flow through your Multi-Room
Audio System.
Audio from the source components
enter the source input wall plates and
are routed to the system "hub". The
system hub is usually hidden in a
wiring cabinet.
The keypads also connect to the
system hub. Each keypad can select
any of the sources connected to the
hub.

System Overview

Each keypad connects to a pair of
stereo speakers. Each keypad has an
integrated built-in digital amplifier to
power its speakers.
All the audio signals, from the wall
plates to the hub, and from the hub to
the keypads are "digital". Any analog
audio sources connected to the wall
plates are converted to digital audio
signals. The digital signals provide
crystal clear sound to all zones with no
signal loss.
