M8 AUX IN Audio Connections
3.
Set the Bridged switches for the channels used in
Steps 2-3
to OFF.
4.
Connect the speakers that are to play the source(s) connected to BUS IN
to the Speaker terminals with the same numbers as the channels used in
Steps 2-3.
Use the Normal Mode configuration as described in section:
Normal Mode Speaker Connections
.
BUS IN (Stereo)
1.
Using a stereo RCA patch cable with gold ends, connect the L & R line level
audio OUT of an audio source to the BUS IN Left and Right inputs on the
M8.
2.
Set the Channel Input switches for the channels that are to output the ste-
reo source connected to BUS IN to BUS L/BUS R. Set the switches for stereo
channel pair (1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8) as BUS L (1, 3, 5, 7) and BUS R (2, 4, 6, 8).
3.
Set the Bridged switches for the channels used in
Step 2
to OFF.
4.
Connect the speakers that are to play the source connected to BUS IN to the
Speaker terminals with the same numbers as the channels used in
Step 2.
Use the Normal Mode configuration as described in section:
Normal Mode Speaker Connections
.
Note:
A
volume control will typically be required for individual room volume in this application.
BUS LOOP (Diagram 11)
To expand audio distribution for the source connected to BUS IN to more than eight mono or four stereo outputs, the BUS LOOP
can be connected to up to four additional M8s. Also see:
System Applications/Multiroom
1.
Using a stereo patch cable with gold ends, connect the BUS LOOP on M8 #1 to the BUS IN on M8 #2.
2.
Repeat
Step 1
for all additional M8s. (Five M8s total.)
3.
Follow
Steps 1-4
in section
BUS IN
to configure the additional M8s.
AUX IN (Diagram 12)
AUX IN will feed stereo line level audio to any channel pair set to AUX L/AUX R. A mono signal input to AUX IN Left can be fed to
any channel set to AUX L. A mono signal input to AUX IN Right can be fed to any channel set to AUX R. For flexibility, the AUX IN
can feed one source to a group of rooms while the BUS IN feeds a different source to a different group of rooms. Also see:
System
Applications/Multizone Mixed Use
Note:
The AUX IN does not feature an AUX LOOP. If using multiple M8s, use the BUS IN/BUS LOOP for the source feeding the larger
number of rooms.
AUX IN (Mono)
1.
Using a mono RCA patch cable with gold ends, connect the line level audio OUT of a mono audio source to the left or right
AUX IN on the M8.
2.
Set the Channel Input switches for the channels that are to output a source connected to AUX IN Left to AUX L. (Channels 1, 3,
5, 7).
3.
Set the Channel Input switches for the channels that are to output a source connected to AUX IN Right to AUX R. (Channels 2,
4, 6, 8).
3.
Set the Bridged switches for the channels used in
Steps 2-3
to OFF.
4.
Connect the speakers that are to play the source(s) connected to AUX IN to the Speaker terminals with the same numbers as
the channels used in
Steps 2-3.
Use the Normal Mode configuration as described in section:
