DAX66 INSTALLATION — PRE-AMP OUTPUTS 

Using the DAX66 PRE-AMP OUTPUTS

 

The DAX66 provides six stereo, unbalanced, line level PRE-AMP outputs, which correspond to the six-zone outputs. The PRE-AMP 

outputs can be used to connect powered subwoofers to a zone or additional amplifiers to expand the available power in a large zone or

 

 

 

 

 

   

   

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

   

multiple zones. 

The DAX66 can be used as the master controller in large commercial audio systems with constant voltage 25/70V amplifiers connected 

to the PRE-AMP outputs.  

The PRE-AMP output levels are variable and are controlled from the DAX66 keypad, Infrared remote, or RS232 from an automation 

system. For best performance, the PRE-AMP output cables should be less than 25 feet long and be high-quality, shielded cables.
