Test speaker wire for shorts and correct cable. This may cause problems with the operation of impedance with ohm meter. Q450. If possible do not locate a keypad next to a light Connect speakers. Note which zone is for switch for the same reason.
The balanced inputs eXtenders (BIB and BIX) have a feature we are very proud of and we hope you will too. These plates allow the Q450 to have an input from a room or space far away from the Q450 without any drop in signal quality and best of all without any added unwanted hum and noise.
BIB modules and on the Q450 infrared emitter connector. Note: It is perfectly acceptable to have more than one pair of speakers per zone. Make sure the series or parallel impedance is between 4-16 ohms (NEVER less than 4 ohms).
This configuration shows a MR44 keypad plugged into zone 1. This keypad controls the input source routed to the zone 1 speaker outputs AND the controlled stereo output 1. Each zone amp output and controlled line level output are controlled by a single keypad and cannot be separated.
