Danger

Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause a permanent

hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably to noise induced hearing

loss but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently

intense noise for a sufficient time. The U.S. Government's

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified

the following permissible noise level exposures:

According to OSHA, any exposure in the above permissible limits could

result in some hearing loss. Ear plugs or protectors in the ear canal or over

the ears must be worn when operating this amplification system in order to

prevent a permanent hearing loss. If exposure in excess of the limits as

put forth above, to insure against potentially harmful exposure to high

sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons exposed to

equipment capable of inducing high sound pressure levels, such as this

amplification system, be protected by hearing protectors while this unit is in

operation.

Installing the Grand Concerto System in Your Home

I. Prewire

The Grand Concerto System uses CAT5 cable for keypad control and either two or four-conductor 16-gauge speaker wire. All the

wire is “homerun” from each zone to the location of the Grand Concerto amplifier and Audio Source equipment.

Complete CAT5 Crimping Instructions

The NuVo audio systems require CAT5, unshielded, twisted

pair (UTP), for communication between the

keypads/Display Pads and the main amplifier unit. Each

end of the wire is terminated with an RJ45 connector.

The Grand Concerto System can accommodate 2,000 total

feet of CAT5 cable. For the most reliable operation, it is

best that no single run of CAT5 exceeds 250 feet.

The correct wiring scheme for the CAT5 cable is standard

EIA/TIA 568A. Properly terminating the CAT5 cable is

crucial for the operation of the system. It is very important

to use a good quality crimp tool, and test each end to end

run with a CAT5 wire tester to insure that your system

operates flawlessly, fig.1.

Step-by-Step Crimping Instructions:

1. Strip a 2 to 3 inch portion of the insulation,

exposing the 4 twisted pairs.

2. Untwist the wires and fan them out

individually. Arrange the wires into the

correct color scheme as shown in Fig. 1.

3. Flatten the wires in their correct order, and trim

them evenly across the top. Most crimp tools have

a wire trimmer built-in. It is best to trim the wires

to about ½” in length.

4. While holding the wires flat between your thumb

and forefinger, insert the wires into the RJ45

connector, so each is in its own slot. Push the wire

into the RJ45, so all 8 conductors touch the end of

the connector. The insulation jacket should

extend beyond the crimp point of the RJ45.

5. Insert the RJ45 into the crimp tool receptacle and

squeeze the tool firmly. Note that a ratchet type

tool should tighten down until it no longer clicks.

6. The RJ45 should be firmly crimped to the CAT5

insulation. It is necessary that the color scheme

be repeated identically on each end of the wire.

7. Test each termination with a CAT5 Tester before

completing the installation.

II. Terminating the Speaker Wire (fig. 2)

All the NuVo systems operate across a “homerun”-wiring

scheme using Cat-5 for the zone keypad control

communication, and a separate run of speaker wire for each

zone from the speaker outputs to the zone speakers. We

suggest 16-gage 2- or 4-conductor speaker wires.

The speaker wire termination is done using a modular “Euro”

connector. Each conductor is screwed down to the connector

block and plugged into the appropriate speaker output on

the back of the amplifier. The proper termination is Left

channel: – and +; Right channel: – and +.

Fig. 2

III. Installing the Grand Concerto Amplifier

System setup works best when the amplifier is placed in the

same location as the audio source equipment. This is

typically in an audio rack, entertainment center, or a closet

dedicated to housing the home audio/video equipment.

The amplifier should be plugged in and the power button on

the front panel should be depressed before proceeding with

the rest of the installation. This activates the internal

protective circuitry of the Grand Concerto System.

IV. Installing the NV-I8GEZP EZ Port (fig.3)

The EZ Port is a multi-connection hub designed to accept all

the Cat-5 wires from the keypads in the system. The location

of the EZ Port should be determined by the location of the

Grand Concerto amplifier. It is best to place in a wall behind

the amplifier that would be easily accessible if necessary.

The EZ Port fits easily in any dual-gang-size, low-voltage

ring with an open back. These are often referred to as “mud

rings.” Simply plug the terminated Cat-5 wires into any of

the 20 available jacks on the back of the EZ Port. The order in

which the individual Cat-5 wires are plugged in is not

important, although it is strongly recommended that you

label the Cat-5 with the appropriate zone number for future

reference.

Once you have plugged the Cat-5 wires into the EZ Port,

screw the EZ port into its construction bracket using the

supplied mounting screws.

V. Connecting the EZ Port to the Grand Concerto Amplifier

(fig. 4)

When the EZ Port is installed in the wall, the only part visible

should be the faceplate and four RJ45 jacks. The supplied

pre-terminated network cable can then be plugged into one

of the six available jacks and into the Network connection on

the back of the Grand Concerto Amplifier. Any Cat-5 cable

terminated using 568A or 568B network wiring will suffice

should you need a longer connection. Remember, it is

important to terminate the cable the same way on both

ends.

Fig. 4

VI. Attaching Audio Source Equipment to the Grand Concerto

Amplifier (fig. 5)

Each piece of audio equipment is connected to the Grand

Concerto amplifier with standard stereo RCA cables. Attach

an RCA cable to the corresponding audio output on the

source equipment and to the desired source input on the

back of the Grand Concerto amplifier. The numbered input

for each source is important in the configuration of the

system. This will be covered in detail in the Grand Concerto

Configurator portion of this manual.

Fig. 5

Attaching the NuVo T2 Tuners and M3 Server

X. Grand Concerto

Configurator Software.

A feature of the Grand Concerto System is its ability to

automatically communicate with the T2 AM/FM and Satellite

Tuners and the M3 Audio Server. The communication

happens through the EZ Port connection hub, across a

communication protocol called NuVoNet. Although software

programming is not necessary for this function, configuring

the installation through the Configurator Software prior to

installation has distinct advantages, see

When the T2 Tuners or M3 Server are plugged in for the first

time, they will display a prompt to select a source input

number for the Grand Concerto. For NuVoNet to

communicate properly, you should have already connected

the NuVoNet components to one of the six “Peripheral

Device” inputs on the face of the EZ Port.
