2. Introduction Congratulations on your recent purchase of the Russound CA4.4pi multi-room controller. This four-zone, foursource, multi-room controller is an affordable integrated amplifier. The CA4.4pi controller is the heart of the system. Four high current stereo power amplifiers are built into the Russound CA4.4pi allowing simple connections to each speaker in the system. Each zone is operated by an intuitive easy-to-use keypad. The keypad controls all the functions of the CA4.4pi controller. CA4.
6. Basic Planning and Layout Considerations • Where will the speakers be located ? • How will the wiring be routed to each location ? • Where will the keypads be located ? • Where is the equipment located ? • Where is the CA4.4pi controller going to be located ? Connection Tips • Disconnect all power cords before connecting to the CA4.4pi. • Verify that all connections and polarity are correct. • Keep all power cords away from all signal cables to prevent noise or humming.
7.3 Zone Pre-Amp Outputs In applications where more power than the 20 watts per channel is desired, connect the CA4.4pi to an external amplifier. Using standard RCA connectors, wire from the pre-amp outputs of the CA4.4pi to the amplifier's inputs. A typical application for more power is when connecting an outside zone where the audio power requirements would be much greater than an inside zone. ZONE PREAMP OUTPUTS POWER R L 4 3 2 1 7.
CD PLAYER • Connect each 845 mini-emitter to the source IR output. Refer to the source number you had written down in figure 1. • Remove the adhesive back and locate the IR receiver on the product you wish to control. Stick the 845 emitter directly over the source components IR REAR OF window. The CA4.4pi will direct the IR command to the source CA4.4pi component you wish to control. 845 EMITTER CASSETTE DECK 845 EMITTER TUNER • Repeat connections until all emitters match the selected sources.
8.2 Installing the LRN Keypads • Connect the CA4.4 LRN’s Interface cable to the 16 pin header located on the CA4.4 KP. Note the location of the red stripe. • Mount the keypads into double gang box and attach the double gang Decora plate. INTERCONNECT CABLE RED STRIPE 9. Speaker Installation • If you are installing in-wall speakers, follow the instructions provided with your speakers for mounting. • Connect each speaker wire to the correct polarity (+,-).
