Page 36: Chapter 3: Connections
INSTALLATION MANUAL Chapter 3: Connections The D16 has many rear panel connections so it is important to label cables with their destination or source correctly. Use high quality line level RCA connector type cables for source connections to ensure the lowest possible noise and best sound performance. -
Page 37: Bus Inputs
INSTALLATION MANUAL BUS Inputs The D16 BUS Inputs A and B enable custom configuration of listening areas. Large or irregular shaped rooms may be configured for both mono and stereo as coverage is needed. Hallways, passageways, bathrooms and laundry rooms are the most popular areas that can benefit from a mono BUS application. -

3 / 4, C for 5 / 6, D for 7 / 8, E for 9 / 10, F for 11 / 12, G for 13 / 14, and H for 15 / 16. Digital audio inputs do not “loop out” of the D16. If multiple amplifiers are to be used in Bus mode you should use the analog Bus inputs. -
Page 39: Speaker Binding Post
INSTALLATION MANUAL Speaker Binding Post The D16 is equipped with gold plated, 5-way speaker binding post. This will allow for five methods of speaker wire termination; bare wire, spade lug, pin, single banana and dual banana plug. Label all speaker wires with their destination to ensure easy configuration. To attach speaker wires use the following method: Carefully split the speaker wire insulation at least two inches. -
