System Layout
The MRC- 8e/ 8.4e is extremely flexible.The system can be installed in several configurations
depending on your audio needs.The capacity of this unit is 8 independent zones per chassis,
and is typically wired such that each keypad is located in the same zone as the speakers
installed.
In some cases it is desirable to operate a second set of speakers within the same zone
controlled by the same or dual keypads (such as a powder room off of the main bedroom.
The MRC- 8e/ 8.4e can be configured to accommodate this configuration as well.
A system installation will go much faster and more smoothly if job plans are completed prior
to the actual installation.Accurate record keeping will assist not only in installation,but also
in explaining the operation of the unit to your client,and any future servicing issues that may
arise.
This manual is accompanied by several pre- printed worksheets to aid you in this installation.
We recommend that you make copies of these worksheets,or complete the information in this
manual,and leave these behind with your client,as well as an additional copy in your client
files.
Cabling Installation Instructions
Please be sure to check for any wiring restrictions required by the
electrical code in your area.This installation is low voltage cabling similar
to telephone and alarm wiring,and as such does not commonly have very
many restrictions on their installation.However rules may vary in different
regions.Please check with your local electrician if any specific conditions
must be met to comply with local electrical and codes.
Cable Type
The MRC- 8e/ 8.4e is cabled using standard 4- wire speaker cable originating at the
MRC- 8e/ 8.4e passing through the keypad,and terminating at the speaker location.
Matrix Audio Designs generally recommends using a bundled 4 conductor 16 gauge
stranded copper wire in a single continuous run.
