CONNECTING REMOTE AUDIO SOURCES
(See “Connecting Remote Audio Sources” diagram)
Audio sources that are located in other areas can have their audio signals
delivered back to the AD-4x and shared among all of the output zones.
NOTE: Local audio inputs (1-4) and remote audio inputs (1-4) are common,
limiting the AD-4x to four audio sources total. Any combination of local and
remote sources may be used, to a maximum of four. For example, do not plug
in a local audio source to local input 1 and remote audio source to the remote
input 1.
WIRING FOR REMOTE AUDIO SOURCES
Use standard Cat-5 cable between the RSP-1 Remote Source Plate and the
RJ-45 jacks on the rear of the AD-4x. Use either the stereo RCA jacks or the
3.5mm mini stereo jack for connecting to the output of the audio source.
NOTE: It is not possible to “Y” or split the audio signals from the RSP-1 to
multiple AD-4x units.
NOTE: The AD-4x can accommodate 500 total feet of Cat-5 cable for each
zone. For the most reliable operation, it is best that no single run of Cat-5
exceeds 250 feet. The correct wiring scheme for the Cat-5 cable is standard
EIA/TIA 568B. Properly terminating the Cat-5 cable is crucial for the operation
of the system.
CONTROLLING REMOTE AUDIO SOURCES
Remote audio sources can be controlled from their own front panel or via
infrared control delivered over the same Cat-5 cable wired to the RSP-1 Remote
Source Panel that is used for the audio signal (see above). The IR commands
used to control the sources come from an RTI control system which is wired
to the IR inputs located on the rear of the AD-4x. Each remote source has an
individual IR input for independent control and commands sent to the “All” input
on the AD-4x will allow control of all remote sources if routing the IR codes is
not necessary.
