ADDING A STREAMING AUDIO ZONE WITH THE TRIAD ONE
An extra audio zone can be added to the Triad Audio Matrix Switch using
a Triad One. In this example, the Triad One streams all sources that are
connected to the input of a Control4 controller (or another Triad One)
and, also, the Triad One generates its own digital media streams (Control4
native streaming services like Pandora and TIDAL and other digital media
like My Music).
1 Connect external audio sources to the analog audio and digital audio
(coax) inputs of the controller.
2 Connect the rest of the audio system as described in the Triad
8x8/24x24 Audio Matrix Switch Installation Guide
(triadspkrs.co/ams-ig).
3 Connect the Triad One to power and network (can be configured WiFi)
as described in this guide.
4 Connect speakers to the SPEAKER OUT connection and connect a
subwoofer to the SUB/ MONO OUT connection (if desired).
5 (Optional) Audio sources (TV, media player, or other sources) may
also be connected to the Triad One that shared over the network and
listened to in any other zone in the system. Connect the audio out from
the source to the one of the AUDIO IN inputs.

ADDING ANALOG AND STREAMING AUDIO ZONES WITH THE TRIAD ONE
If an extra audio zone is needed, the Triad One can be used as a single-zone amplifier behind an audio matrix switch to provide another zone of audio with
access to the analog audio sources in the audio matrix switch, and an additional digital media audio stream for the new zone.
1 Connect external audio sources to the ANALOG AUDIO INPUT of the audio matrix switch.
2 Connect audio sources (outputs from a Control4 controller, audio streaming devices, tuners, etc.) to the ANALOG AUDIO INPUT and DIGITAL AUDIO
INPUT jacks of the audio matrix switch.
3 Connect the ANALOG AUDIO OUTPUT jacks and 12V trigger cables from the Triad 24x24 Audio Matrix Switch to Triad Power Amplifiers as described in
the Triad 8x8/24x24 Audio Matrix Switch Installation Guide (triadspkrs.co/ams-ig)
4 Connect the ANALOG AUDIO OUTPUT 17 and 18 to the AUDIO IN inputs of the Triad One amplifiers.
5 Connect the Triad One amplifiers to power and network (can be configured WiFi) as described in this guide.
6 Connect speakers to the SPEAKER OUT connections and connect a subwoofer to the SUB/MONO OUT connection (if desired).
7 (Optional) Audio sources (TV, media player, or other sources) may also be connected to the Triad One that shared over the network and listened to in
any other zone in the system. Connect the audio out from the source to the one of the AUDIO IN inputs.
