Multi Room Audio Matrix Switcher and System Installation Instructions
17
HI/LO adjustment
2 – trimpots
These adjust the level of the audio source connected to the
mono broadcast inputs. Use a small Phillips screwdriver to
rotate the control if the audio source is too quiet or loud.
USB
1– Type B
This connection is used for programming the matrix switcher
during commissioning by the installer using a PC running
MARPA configuration software.
LAN
1 – RJ45
This RJ45 socket enables connection to a local (computer)
network for the streaming functionality on the deluxe matrix
switcher.
OPTICAL
IN/OUT
Used to connect a digital optical audio source for distribution to
any of the eight zones. The digital audio format must be 44.1 or
48 kHz stereo. Some digital audio formats (such as surround
sound) are not compatible with the Matrix Switcher. The optional
output is provided so that the input can be sent on to another
piece of A/V equipment. You cannot use the optical input and
the DIGITAL AUDIO IN at the same time.
DIGITAL AUDIO
OUT
8 – RJ45
Each zone output is used to connect the matrix switcher to one
amplifier in each audio zone. Additional amplifiers can be added
to a zone by connecting their DIGITAL AUDIO IN socket to the
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT of a Desktop or Remote Amplifier. The
Low Power Amplifier requires a 5600TEE, as it has only a
DIGITAL AUDIO IN connection.
DIGITAL AUDIO
IN
1 – RJ45
Use this connection when using an optional MRA Distribution
Unit to provide an additional stereo audio input.
SOURCE INPUT
4 – RCA pairs
Most A/V devices connect to the matrix switcher through the
four standard stereo analogue inputs. These are line-level RCA
sockets numbered 1 through 4. Input 4 is electrically tied to the
front panel AUX connector. This input should be used as either a
line level input (rear panel) or a headphone-level input (AUX
input), not both; Note that the Input 4/AUX inputs have different
gain levels than the other 3 analogue inputs.
AM/FM antenna
1 – Type-F coaxial
One antenna connection serves both internal AM/FM tuners.
C-Bus
2 – RJ45
There are two connections for the C-Bus network to allow for
looping through to additional pieces of equipment.
Unit indicator and
C-Bus indicator
Unit and C-Bus indicators show network status and activity.
Refer to Section 2.3 for indicator functions.
