For source control, the sources will need to connect to the PCT-8 (or PCT-4). Use either an 1/
8" male mini jack to 1/8" male mini jack wire for accessing a source's serial control input or an
IR mini flasher to access a sources IR receiver. You may need to adjust the PCT-8 after the
system is up and running so make certain that future access of the PCT-8 is possible. In
installations where rear access is limited, fully bench testing the PCT-8 with the sources will
limit the amount of readjustment labor upon installation of the rack. See the PCT-8's or PCT-
4's Installation Manual regarding connection of the sources to these components.
Step D - Composite Video Wires (if needed)
When using Delta-88s with VSM-8 Video Switching Modules, the composite video cables can
also be run from the sources to the Delta-88. You can also connect the VSM-8's outputs to the
TV's, projectors, and/or VCRs. Also see pages 17 and 20.
Step E - Outboard Amplifier and Subwoofer Connections
In many cases, additional power amplifiers are used to engage with a single zone. For more
information on AC wiring and line level wiring to the Delta-88 for AC control of external zone
amplifiers & subwoofers, see pages 22-27.
Step F - Speaker Wires
Connect the speaker wires to the Delta-88 or other power amplifiers. Use the banana
connectors attached to each RAM-50, RBM-50, or ADA external power amplifier. The banana
connectors have a tab on one side marked "GND" for ground. This tab will permit you maintain
polarity even if you cannot see the wires as you plug them into the amplifiers. See page 19 for
more information on speaker connections to the Delta-88.
Step G - Low Voltage Wires
Connect low voltage wires as needed to the various components when using ADA Black Box
Switching Devices. For inclusion of a home theater system, see pages 38-43.
Step H - Connection of the Delta-88 Linking Cable
When using more than one Delta-88 in any single system, you will only need to connect the
source components' audio outputs to the one primary Delta-88. All additional Delta-88s will
acquire line-level through a ribbon cable which parallels to each Delta-88. This cable is
provided by ADA and is custom cut for each system.
Step I - ADA Bus™ Connections
Connect the ADA Bus™ "short-wires" to the various ADA components (Delta-88, ACC-3000,
MT-3000, & PCT-8). Do not connect any "short wires to the WH-3000.
BI-3000 Bus Isolators -
In most applications, the BI-3000 serves to isolate devices (which are
subject to line noise) from picking up any noise through the ADA Bus™. Components such
as MT-3000 Multi-Tuners and SSD-66 Surround Sound Decoders need to first wire to a BI-3000
before connecting the ADA Bus™ "short-wire" to the WH-3000. In the case of an MT-3000, the
ADA Bus™ "short-wire" from the tuner to the BI-3000 is included with the system in either the
