Notes:
Ÿ
For factory amplified systems with volume dependent DSP effects such as EQ or limiters, select system Type-4 at the
multi-function remote. This enables all remote functions and sets knob priority to master volume control for both
Main and AUX inputs. Independent CH7/8 level mode is also selectable for each source. Once the system is tuned and
optimized for a specific fixed volume setting, the source unit’s volume should not be used (make note of the setting)
and instead use the multi-function remote as the system’s sole master volume control.
Ÿ
In this system example, the factory amplifier’s signal outputs are all useable for the aftermarket replacement system
without summing except that the front woofer/midrange LP crossover is quite low for integration with a factory
mid/tweet such as a 2.5” speaker. By summing CH1+3/CH2+4 together, CH3/4’s combined output can now be crossed
over higher at the aftermarket amplifier for a bi-amped component set with proper integration for a true tweeter.
Ÿ
For more detail on summing a factory 4-way system, see the signal flow diagram on pg3 and Example-5 below.
Note:
For systems where no full-range signal is available, the link8 can be utilized purely as a 4-way summing line output
converter without remote. In this example, the link8 is summing factory 4-way signals to a single pair of 2-channel full-
range outputs so can be altered by aftermarket crossover, processor or amplifier(s) that is not capable of summing.
