5. Source Inputs - Loop Outputs - Trim Control - Input Switch
• Source Inputs: Eight stereo RCA inputs (Left/Right channels) for audio
signal input from audio sources (tuner, music server, satellite radio etc.).
• Loop Outputs: These buffered loop outputs allow each source to be
distributed to multiple AD-8x systems if more than 8 output zones are
required.
• Trim Control - The Trim Control dials on the AD-8x are used to equalize
signal levels of each input source to ensure that switching between inputs
will result in the same output level.
• Input Switch - Remote/Mix/Local - This switch determines which input
source will be used (Local or Remote).
6. Remote Source Inputs
RJ-45 jacks for connection of up to four RTI RSP-1 Remote Source wall
plates (sold separately) for audio sources located remotely (iPod
®
dock, CD
player, PC, etc.).
7. Remote Source IR Inputs
These 3.5mm mono jack inputs allow the connection of an IR output port
from an RTI control system to a remote audio source for control.
8. CTRL IN - IR Input
This 3.5mm mono mini-jack is for infrared control of the AD-8x from a
control system.
9. CTRL OUT - IR Pass through
This 3.5mm mono mini-jack allows IR to “pass through” from the CTRL IN
port, for infrared control of additional AD-8x units from a control system.
10. Mute
This 3.5mm stereo mini-jack is for the connection of an RTI PDM-1 Phone/
Doorbell Mute Module (sold separately). The PDM-1 mutes the AD-8x audio
outputs when a phone/doorbell system sends a voltage to the PDM-1 which
triggers a circuit closure that is sensed by the Mute input.
