5.0 Installation and Connection
The most time consuming stage of installing a typical Multi Room Audio
system is likely to be cabling and wiring. To ensure successful wiring and
connection of a Multi Room Audio system:
• Plan – Consider the way the system will be used and create
drawings to indicate where terminations will be located.
• Organise – Use wall plate terminations to connect to the Matrix
Switcher, Amplifiers and speakers, as well as any local or mono
broadcast inputs or headphone outputs. Label the terminations,
especially the C-Bus and digital audio sockets which are both
RJ45. Consider using colour coded sockets.
• Use appropriate cable.
5.1 Location and Mounting
The Multi Room Audio Matrix Switcher, Distribution Unit, Amplifiers and
their associated Power Supplies are suitable for indoor use in moderate to
tropical climates. All units must be protected from excessive heat,
dampness and liquids.
Matrix Switcher
It is recommended that the Matrix Switcher be located in a central location
with the audio source equipment (such as in a cabinet in the lounge room).
Place the Matrix Switcher on a flat surface. Do not remove the feet from
the base of the unit as they provide necessary air space. Air must be
allowed to flow through vents on the top and base of the Matrix Switcher
(by natural convection). Ensure that at least 15 mm of free space is left
above the unit, as well as 50 mm at the front of the unit and 75 mm at the
rear. This is illustrated in
Figure 4.
Ensure that the user will have access to the mains inlet sock
et after the
unit has been installed.
