Wiring
The Intrasonic Technology Retro system is designed to work on the existing wiring. If the existing
wiring contains 3, 4, 6 or more wires, you will need to select 3 of the wires for each room, patio
and door station. Runs need to be 350 feet each or less. If the existing system is still operating, it
is a good idea to test the system and all stations to make sure the existing wires are not
damaged.
Maximum Number of Stations
The system will handle the following number of stations;
11 room stations
2 patio stations (can be used for room stations)
2 door stations
1 auxiliary input unit
8 Ohm Speakers
The Intrasonic Technology Retro system is an 8 ohm based system. External speakers need to
high efficiency speakers. Speakers rated at less than 8 ohms could degrade performance or even
damage the system.
Tools Needed
9 Tape measure
9 Wire stripper and cutter
9 Hammer
9 Drill
9 Screw drivers
9 Tin Snips
9 Volt/ohm meter
9 Pry bar
Getting Started
First determine the make and model of the system you are replacing. This includes room, patio
and door stations. Also if there are any ceiling speakers, what size they are and if they are 8 ohms
impedance. The Intrasonic Technology Retrofit system requires the use of 8 ohm speakers. This
will allow you to acquire the correct replacement components and adapter plates.
Make sure the power is off to the existing system.
Taking out the existing system can be a messy process. Bring some “drop cloths” to put under the
units to be removed.
Perform a test on the existing system operation to make sure the wiring is complete and
undamaged.
