Wiring Diagram
Step 1 Prewire:
termination for the Cat-5 wire is standard 568A. Simplese uses an RJ-45 connector on each end of the Cat-5. Note that both the
speaker wire and Cat-5 are run to the Allport location at the equipment rack or cabinet.
The Simplese D System uses Cat-5 wire for keypad control and either 2 or 4 conductor 16 gauge speaker wire. The
Step 2 Allport Termination:
™
Both the speaker wire and Cat-5 cables terminate into the backside of the Allport. The order of Cat-5
plug-ins is irrelevant to the operation of the system, but it is recommended that you label the Cat-5 wires for future reference. Follow
the zone and polarity labeling for the speaker wires. The final connection from the Allport is made with the Allport Cable supplied with
the Simplese D System.

Step 3 Connecting Audio Sources:
The Simplese D system will accept up to four independent audio sources. This is done with stereo
RCA audio cables from the audio output on each source to the appropriate source input on the back of the Simplese amplifier.
Step 4 IR Outputs:
The Simplese D System ships with four IR emitters for transferring IR data from the keypad receivers (located
under the volume button) to the IR receiver on each piece of source equipment. There are two separate IR output sections. The 38K
outputs are used most all audio sources. The exception to this frequency are cable and satellite boxes. They operate at a higher IR
carrier frequency around 56K. A second source one and two 56K output is available for these devices, see fig. 1. It is important that
the output being used for each source matches the source input number. The outputs are individual for each source to allow
independent source control. Simply plug the emitter into the appropriate IR output on the back of the Simplese amplifier and attach
the flasher end over the IR receiver on the source equipment.

Each keypad requires a specific zone setting to establish the keypad’s location. This setting is made on the
back of the keypad using an eight position rotary switch. To set the switch, place a small slot-head screwdriver in the slot in the
switch and turn it clockwise to the appropriate zone number 1-4, fig. 2. The remaining switch positions, 5-0 allow for an additional
keypad in each zone. Position 5 corresponds to zone 1, 6 to zone 2, 7 to zone 3, and 0 to zone 4.

Step 6 EQ Control, and Source Grouping:

The keypads can be used to set specific zone functions. These are bass and treble EQ
response, and source grouping. To change bass response, press the Mute button and Source 1 button simultaneously. Adjust the
bass level up or down by using the volume up and volume down buttons. The volume indicator LEDs will indicate the output level,
fig. 3. The default setting is flat. Adjusting treble is the same process and is accessed by pressing the Mute and Source 2 buttons.
Once the desired setting is made, press the Source button again and that returns the keypad to normal operation. Source grouping
is a featured that allows multiple zones in an open living space to always share the same source selection, but still retain individual
volume and on/off control. This is achieved by pressing Mute and Source 3. Volume Up enables the group function and Volume
Down disables the group function and causes the keypad to operate independently of all other groups, fig. 4.

Step 7 Final Setup:
Once the sources are plugged in and the keypads are set and installed you should be ready to power on any
of the zones and enjoy music from any of the sources.
