Connecting SWT Speakers
Matrix Audio SWT Speakers are different from any other speaker available on
the market. They allow you to control a single zone of audio without a keypad
being installed. Therefore, some different wiring practices must be considered
for proper operation and control.
This is achieved by “daisy-chaining” from the first speaker to the second
speaker. The main run of 16/4 from the controller will go directly to the first
speaker in the zone.
•
At the controller end, the wiring is left-to-right: L D G R.
•
At the speaker end, refer to the labeling on speaker PCB to ensure the
correct wiring.
The labelling at both ends must match or the IR control will not work (i.e.: if you
used the RED wire for the Left Audio labelled “L” at the zone output, you must
use the RED wire for the pin labelled “L” on the speaker connector).
Note
: Be sure to screw the connector down to the speaker crossover board
before installing and securing in the ceiling. This will ensure that the connector
will not disconnect after installation.
A single run of 16/2 must be run from the first speaker to the second speaker.
Connecting Non-SWT Speakers
Each speaker has a Red (positive) terminal and a Black (negative) terminal.
Connect the appropriate wire from the keypad to Red and Black terminals on the
Left and Right speakers, as with any standard speaker installation.
Connecting To a Mi-Series Audio Controller
Connect the amplifier to the Audio Controller via the 4-pin connector labelled
From Controller
on the rear panel of the amplifier (see FIG. 4).
Connecting SWT Keypads
Connect SWT Keypads (DAS-MET-6SRC or K-Series) to the amplifier via the
SWT connector labelled
To Keypad
on the rear panel of the amplifier (see
FIG. 4).
Note
: When stripping cable for use with SWT connector, only strip away about
¼” (6mm) of the insulation from each wire. The complete assembly should not
have more than 1/32” (1mm) of bare wire exposed from the bottom of the
connector.
Wiring Diagram - Single Amplifier
FIG. 4 illustrates the connections from a Mi-Series Audio Controller, and to SWT
Speakers and Matrix (SWT) Keypad.
Wiring Diagram - Expanded Configuration
FIG. 5 illustrates stacking up to three Carbon XA amplifiers units per zone, to
allow up to 12 speaker pairs (24 channels) in a single zone:
Note
: Only one Keypad is allowed per zone.
To "stack" Carbon XA amplifiers, connect the
To Keypad
connector on the first
amplifier to the
From Controller
connector on the second amplifier. To add a
third Amp to the configuration, connect the
To Keypad
connector on the second
Amp to the
From Controller
connector on the third Amp.
The Matrix Keypad can be connected serially between the Audio Controller and
the first Amp as shown in FIG. 5.
It can also be connected serially between the first and second Amp, between the
second and third Amp, or to the
To Keypad
port on Amp #3, but only one
Keypad can be connected in one zone.
