WARNING! Connecting speaker wires or input
cables while the amplifier is powered may
cause electrical shock and could damage
the amplifier. Unplug the power cord before
making connections.
AVERTISSEMENT ! Les fils se reliants de

que l’amplificateur est actionné, peuvent
causer le choc et pourraient endommager
l’amplificateur. Débranchez le cordon de

Install the Amplifier
This device operates as part of the Control4 home
system which requires physical connections to
function as designed. This section describes how
to set up the physical connections required for the
amplifier and all of the devices associated with it.
CAUTION! To prevent damage, maintain
adequate ventilation space above and below
the amplifier. Space of ½U on top and bottom
is adequate. The rack mount ears provide the
necessary ½U ventilation space. Do not place
other components on top of the amplifier.
Doing so will block ventilation openings.
ATTENTION ! Pour éviter tout dommage,
maintenir un espace de ventilation adéquate
au-dessus et en dessous de l’amplificateur.
Espace de ½ U sur le dessus et le bas est
adéquate. La monture oreilles pour rack
fournissent des ½ U d’espace de ventilation. Ne
placez pas d’autres éléments sur le dessus de
l’amplificateur. Ceci bloquerait les ouvertures
de la ventilation.
1 Connect up to four (4) (4-Zone Power Amplifier)
or up to eight (8) (8-Zone Power Amplifier)
audio sources to the audio input jacks. You can
also connect an additional audio source to the
GLOBAL input jacks.
2 Connect speakers to the Phoenix-style
connectors.
CAUTION! Check the polarity of the
speakers and wires before connecting to
the amplifier.
ATTENTION ! Vérifiez la polarité des
enceintes et des câbles avant de brancher
à l’amplificateur.
3 Set the individual Zone Input settings. Select Line
In or Global In depending on system setup. If
zone is configured for a bridge, see “Setting Up
Bridge Mode” below.
4 Connect the power cord provided to the back of
the amplifier and to the power outlet.
5 Press the top of the POWER switch to turn on
the amplifier. The amplifier powers on.
Setting Up Stereo Mode
In Stereo mode, connect the L and R channels as
usual.
1 In the zone you are connecting speakers to, slide
the ST/BRIDGE switch to ST.
2 Connect the audio source’s L channel to the LINE
INPUT (L) jack and the R channel to the LINE
INPUT (R) jack.

3 Connect the left speaker to the LINE OUTPUT
(L) jack, and the right speaker to the LINE
OUTPUT(R) jack. If you are using a Phoenix-style
connector, wire it as shown below.

Zone
Setting Up Bridge Mode
In Bridge mode, the R channel is disabled. This
eectively doubles the power output of the
remaining L channel, but at the cost of outputting
only a mono signal. To set up a stereo signal while
using Bridge mode, you will need to set up two (2)
separate zones:
L
R
BRIDGE
4 In Zone B’s port cluster, connect the audio
source’s R channel to the LINE INPUT (L) jack.
Again, you must use the + signals of the Phoenixstyle connector. Make sure to note speaker
polarity. You should connect the positive speaker
polarity to the top + and the negative speaker
polarity to the bottom +.

NOTE: In Bridge mode, outputs are rated for
only eight (8) ohm loads and will not function
correctly for four (4) ohm loads.
1 In two (2) neighboring zones (for ease of
connections), called Zone A and Zone B in
this example, slide each ST/BRIDGE switch to
BRIDGE.
2 In Zone A’s port cluster, connect the audio
source’s L channel to the LINE INPUT (L) jack.
3 Also in Zone A’s port cluster, connect the speaker
for the L channel output to the LINE OUTPUT (L)
jack. You must use the + signals of the Phoenixstyle connector. Make sure to note speaker
polarity. You should connect the positive speaker
polarity to the top + and the negative speaker
polarity to the bottom +.
5 Also in Zone B’s port cluster, connect the speaker
for the R channel output to the LINE OUTPUT (L)
jack.
NOTE: Phoenix-style connectors, if used in
Bridge mode, need to be wired identically
(left channel, identical polarity wiring) for
each zone.
Setting Up Trigger Mode
NC OUT GND
IN+5 GND
Trigger input/output controls:
When Trigger is ON:
• - NC = No connection.
• - OUT = Trigger Output. Driven High when
device is NOT in standby mode.
• - GND = Ground connection.
• - +5 = Constant +5V output.
• - IN = Trigger input. When Low, device will be
forced into standby; when High, device will
be forced to ON.
• - GND = Ground connection.

™
When Trigger is OFF:
Amp 1 Amp 2
• - NC = No connection.
• - OUT = Trigger output not used.
• - GND = Ground connection.
• - +5 = Constant +5V output.
• - IN = Trigger input not used.
• - GND = Ground connection.

To set an amplifier to power on from a relay’s trigger,
connect the amplifier’s +5 and IN trigger contacts to
a relay’s COM contacts. Polarity does not matter.
To set multiple amplifiers to power on with the same
relay trigger, connect the first amplifier’s NC and OUT
trigger contacts to the second amplifier’s +5 and IN
trigger contacts. Continue using this pattern for any
additional amplifiers.
