5.7 Shielded Audio Cabling
Multi Room Audio Amplifiers have line level local audio inputs (LOCAL IN),
which can be used to play audio from a locally connected music player or
PC. Amplifiers also have volume affected line level audio outputs (ZONE
OUT) which can be connected to other audio equipment. The Desktop
Amplifier has a headphone output. These inputs and outputs should be
cabled and terminated if they are to be utilised.
It is recommended that wall plates with appropriate audio sockets be used
to provide input and output connection points to the Amplifier. Use RCA
sockets at the Amplifier end for local inputs and line outputs. Use 3.5 mm
stereo sockets at the other end to provide the connection points for
external audio equipment. Use 3.5 mm stereo sockets for headphone
connections.
When installing audio cable:
• wire wall plates with suitably shielded stereo audio cable
• avoid laying audio cable alongside mains cable to minimise EMI
pickup
• do not earth audio ground terminals.
Cabling and wall plate requirements for the example installation are
illustrated in Figure 14.
