Installing the SoundTouch
™
wireless adapter
The SoundTouch
™
wireless adapter provides the network input for the
SA-4 amplifier. It must remain in range of the Wi-Fi
®
router, and within
70 feet (21 m) of the SoundTouch
™
controller.
To keep interference to a minimum and to increase the strength of the Wi-Fi
signal, install the wireless adapter outside of and away from metal cabinets,
away from other audio/video components, and away from direct heat sources.
See page 32 for wall mounting instructions.
Note:
If you experience interference with your network connection, place
the SoundTouch
™
wireless adapter outside of any cabinet or enclosure
and away from metal objects. If problems persist, see “Troubleshooting” on
page 24.
Connecting speakers to the SA-4 amplifier
CAUTIONS:
•
Use only
unpowered
speakers. DO NOT connect any make or model of
powered speakers. Doing so may cause damage to the equipment.
•
The SoundTouch
™
SA-4 amplifier requires a 6-ohm minimum load.
Speaker cables consist of two insulated wires. Often, one wire is marked (striped,
colored, or ribbed), indicating it should be connected to the positive (+) terminal.
The plain wire should be connected to the negative (–) terminal. For recommended
wire sizes and lengths, see “Speaker cable recommendations” on page 27.
