TRIAD INSTALLATION GUIDE - 8×8 V2 and 16×16 AUDIO MATRIX SWITCH
CONNECTING A 16-SOURCE, 16-ZONE SYSTEM WITH THE 16×16AUDIO MATRIX SWITCH
1
Connect audio sources (outputs from a Control4 controller, audio streaming devices, tuners, etc.) to the
ANALOG AUDIO INPUT
and
DIGITAL AUDIO
INPUT
jacks.
2
Connect the
ANALOG AUDIO OUTPUT
jacks to amplifiers or amplified speakers. Connect outputs
1-8
to the first Triad 8-Zone Power Amplifier (TS-
PAMP8-100) and outputs
9-16
to the second amplifier.
3
Connect 12V trigger cables from the matrix switch to the amplifier (if applicable) for automatic power control of the amplifier. Connect 12V output
1-8
to the first Triad 8-Zone Power Amplifier and the 12V output
9-16
to the second amplifier.
ADDING A STREAMING AUDIO ZONE WITH THE TRIAD ONE
(CONTROL4 SYSTEMS ONLY)
Using a Triad One (TS-SAMP1), an extra audio zone can be added to a
Control4 system with a Triad 8x8 Audio Matrix Switch. In this illustration,
the Triad One streams all external audio sources that are connected
into the Control4 controller. The Triad One also can generate its own
digital media stream (My Music and Control4 native streaming services)
separately from the Control4 controller.
1
Connect external audio sources to the analog audio and digital audio
(coax) inputs of the controller.
2
Connect the rest of the 8 analog zones as described in steps 1-3 of
“Connecting an 8-source, 8-zone system.”
3
Connect the Triad One to power and network (can be configured
WiFi if desired). See the
Triad One Installation Guide
for more details
(
triadspkrs.co/triadone-ig
).
4
Connect speakers to the SPEAKER OUT connection and connect a
subwoofer to the SUB/ MONO OUT connection (if desired).
