2. WALL PLATE FEATURES 3. INSTALL JUNCTION BOX

The Encore source input wall plate (Model ENC-SIWP) serves as a primary
audio source input for the Encore Multi-Room Audio Distribution System. It
provides a connection point for components such as receivers, tuners, CD
players, and computers. A high quality analog-to-digital converter encodes

Multi-Room Audio

Distribution System

analog sources to digital audio and distributes it to the system.

The wall plate wires directly to the hub with Cat-5 cable and mounts in a
J-box. Up to four source input wall plates can be used with each system.
At each speaker zone, the keypad (Model ENC-DRS) selects between

Source Input
Wall Plate

Installation
Instructions

up to four audio sources connected to source input wall plates or from
an audio source connected to a local input wall plate (Model ENC-LIWP)
wired to the keypad.

The wall plate features a stereo analog audio input, a coaxial digital
audio input, and optical digital audio input. The input selector switch
selects between the three audio inputs.

A set of gain switches is provided to boost low level signals by +4, or
+8 db. The clipping indicator will light if the signal level is too high.

The system features infrared (IR) remote control. An IR repeater system
monitors IR received at each keypad and repeats the remote control signals
to the audio source components through IR emitters connected to the wall
plate’s IR OUT jack. IR emitters are sold in a 4-pack as Model 2171-4.
