A12 INSTALLATION MANUAL

Direct Input Bussing

There are independent Direct Input Bus DIP switches for each channel on the A12. These DIP switches are

located directly below the BUS L/R DIP switches and are labeled 1-12. Their purpose is to allow the creation of

summed mono signals without having to use additional patch cables. For example, if A12 Input #1 is being fed a

monaural signal, and Input #2 needs to receive that same signal, slide the DIP switch labeled “1” to the left, (ON)

position for both channels 1 and 2. Direct Input Bussing is for channel pairs only (1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8, 9/10, 11/12).

In other words, Channel 3 can only be sent to Channel 4, and Channel 4 can only be sent to Channel 3.

ELAN Multi-Room System w/ Direct Input Bussed Zones

The example below shows the use of the Left (odd numbered) inputs. The Right (even-numbered) inputs can

also be used. Make sure to set the DIP switches correctly, as shown below, depending on whether Right or Left

inputs are being utilized.
