STEREO SOURCE
About Y Adapters: To create a mono
signal from a stereo source, Audio
Authority recommends using the
SF-16M DSP for optimal audio quality,
but when only one RCA input jack is
available, a y-adapter may be used.
Speaker Outputs/Zones
Factory default for all 16 amplified speaker outputs is
mono, 50% and muted. During installation and testing,
set all outputs at a reasonable volume
.
Outputs can be
configured as mono, stereo or a combination of both
mono and stereo.
