Mi Series Audio Controllers
Special Wiring Configurations
Auxiliary Amplifier Configuration
In some cases you may require more power for a given zone than the Mi Series Controller, or Carbon XA
can provide. You may purchase a DAS-LLC to provide a line level output to incorporate a larger external
amplifier, or you can make your own line level converter.
FIG. 4 shows the construction of a simple circuit of discrete components to reduce the "speaker level"
output of the Mi Series Controller to “line level" so that it can drive an auxiliary amplifier.
This amplifier would typically be installed at the equipment rack (head end).
