SYSTEM SETUP 

 
In  this  chapter,  the  speaker  will  be  represented  by  a  box  showing  the  speaker  function 
with  the  required  speaker  parameter  values  and  a  box  showing,  for  the  same  speaker, 
the digital signal routing. 
For  instance,  the  following  speaker  representation  is  the  .

Analogue Setup 

4.1.1

 

Stereo System 

This is the easiest setup.  The two speakers are fed with balanced analogue signals.  Only 
the  speaker  analogue  input is  used.    The  network  cable  is  optional  and is  only  used  for 
speaker control.  If no remote control of the speakers is desired, the network inputs and 
outputs can be left unconnected.

Multi-channel 5.1 System 

As  for  the  stereo  setup,  an  analogue  5.1  system  is  quite  simple  to  install.    The  six 
speakers  are  fed  with  balanced  analogue  signals.    Only  the  speaker  analogue  input  is
