4.2 Standalone
In a standalone configuration a stereo audio source is connected to the
input of a Distribution Unit. The output of the Distribution Unit is
connected to the digital input of each Amplifier. RJ45 splitters are used to
connect all digital inputs to a common Cat-5 cable run. A Matrix Switcher
is not used. Up to eight Amplifiers can be connected in this mode using a
total cable length of up to 45 m. This is illustrated in
Figure 3. Each
Amplifier can select be
tween the single distributed stereo audio source
and its local stereo audio input.
