1. Introduction

The lyriQ™ Studio High Performance Keypad, P/N AU5010-xx (see Figure 1), is an integral part of the lyriQ™ Multi-Room Audio System. It is a component which, when combined with other essential components (a Source Input Unit, Distribution Module and Speakers) and your source equipment (receiver, CD player, etc.), creates a versatile whole-house audio system that will fill your rooms with highquality sound for years to come. It uses Category 5 wiring to distribute audio signals, control information and IR for remote control. The High Performance Keypad has two on-board 20 Watt per channel class D amplifiers to provide a rich level of clean sound even in large room applications. It also contains a full set of features, including the ability to control all other keypad volume controls in the house. Build a system that accommodates the needs of any space by combining the lyriQ™ Studio High Performance Keypad with the lyriQ™ Studio Keypad (P/N AU5009-xx) in the same system. The AU5010-xx is available in white (-WH), light almond (-LA), titanium (-TI), or gloss black (-GB).

2. Description

The front panel of the lyriQ™ Studio High Performance Keypad, PN AU5010-xx (see

Figure 1), looks almost identical to the standard lyriQ™ Studio Keypad (AU5009-xx). It also has push buttons for STANDBY (backlit with red LED when in Standby Mode), for MUTE (backlit with red LEDs, when Mute function is selected), VOLUME UP/DOWN (with six associated blue Volume Bar Graph LEDs), SOURCE SELECT (with six blue Source Selection LEDs), and WHOLE HOUSE (backlit with white LEDs when not selected and with flashing blue/white LEDs when Whole House function is selected). There is also an IR target window. The visual cue from the front panel that this is a High Performance Volume Control are the parenthesis surrounding the music note on the lower left corner of the display area.

NOTE: lyriQ™ Keypads are recommended for indoor use only.

On the rear of the lyriQ™ Studio High Performance Keypad (see Figure 2) the Category 5 connection is an RJ45 jack (J1). The TB2 speaker output connections (left and right, plus and minus) are spring loaded and designed to support up to 14 gauge wire. The TB3 Line Out connections (plus and minus) are also spring loaded and designed to support up to 14 gauge wire. This mono-summed output is designed for powered sub-woofers and as such is filtered through an 80Hz low pass filter. The other terminal block on the rear (TB1) is used for powering the keypad. Up to 14 gauge speaker wire may be used for this purpose, and this speaker wire (two or four conductor) is run from a power distribution module (P/N AU1001) in the enclosure to the Keypad. We recommend 16/4 speaker wire, since it is available paired with Category 5 from a variety of sources. Again, the TB1 connections are spring loaded (plus and minus) with the two plus connections on the red portion of TB1 and the two minus connections on the black portion of TB1. For ease of installation, connect the red wire and white wire to the red (plus) portion of TB1 and the black and green wire to the black (minus) portion of TB1.

3. Installation

Installation of the lyriQ™ Studio High Performance Keypad is best accomplished at multiple times during new construction, at “Rough-in” before the drywall is installed, and at “Trim-out” after the drywall is installed and painted.

NOTE: Before connecting the Keypad volume controls: Make sure that power supplies are not connected to the lyriQ™ Audio and Power Distribution Modules. For instructions on pre-wiring and installing other components of the lyriQ™ Audio System, please see the Instruction Sheets included with those components.

NOTE: Always follow TIA-570-B and T568A wiring standards for installing and terminating Category 5 cable. Failure to follow the correct wiring standard could result in damaged equipment and/or electrical interference issues. Carefully label each wire for its intended use to avoid mis-wiring.

NOTE: Maintain a minimum 12” separation between Category 5 cable and any 120VAC cabling.

A. “Rough-in” steps:

1) A single Category 5 cable and 16/4 speaker wire should be run from the enclosure location to a single gang outlet box at each Volume Control location (typically mounted at electrical light switch height).

B. “Trim-out” steps:

1) Connect the volume control by terminating the pre-wired Category 5 cable from the enclosure with an RJ45 plug, following the T568A wiring standard and insert this plug into jack J1 (see Figure 2).

2) For the power connection (TB1) strip 3/8” of insulation from each of the four conductors and insert the red and white wires into the red (plus) portion of TB1. Insert the stripped black and green wires into the black (minus) portion of TB1 (see Figure 2).

NOTE: The two red connections are tied together, as are the two black connections. They are provided in pairs to provide flexibility of wiring.

NOTE: Electricians may prefer to think of the black and red wires as plus and the green and white wires as minus. That wiring will also work, as long as it is also followed at the other end of the cable (at the Power Distribution Module in the enclosure).

3) Speaker/Line Out/Sub-Woofer connections (see Figure 2):

NOTE: Polarity and channels are clearly marked (L+, L-, R-, R+) for proper identification during installation.

a) Use TB2 to connect one pair (only) of 8 ohm evōQ™ audio speakers to the volume control.

b) Use TB3 to connect your evōQ™ powered sub-woofer or an external amplifier to the volume control.

These connection terminals do not provide any amplification but the volume control on the keypad

controls the output level of this connection.

4) Connections in the enclosure (see Figure 3 ):

a) The Category 5 cable that was run to each volume control location should be terminated with an RJ45

plug according to the T568A wiring standard and inserted into one of the zone output jacks of the associated lyriQ™ audio distribution module.

insulation from each of the four conductors and insert the red and white wires into the red (plus ) portion of TB1. Insert the stripped black and green wires into the black (minus) portion of TB1

To cascade a Single Source Module, simply run a Cat 5e jumper from any Zone port RJ45 jack on the front panel of the Multi-source Module to the “Source In” RJ45 jack on the front panel of a Single Source Module (see Figure 4).
