Connect Audio Sources To D5SH – Options
Connect D5KP Keypad to D5SH Digital Distribution Hub.
Connect D5IP Input Plate to D5SH Digital Distribution Hub.
Turn On and Start All Connected Audio Sources
Turn On All Zone Keypads (Front of D5KP – "PWR" button)
Verify Audio for Each Source
Ramp volume up to the halfway point.
Starting with Source 1, select each source and verify that audio is present through the
room speakers.
If Necessary, Adjust Source Input Gain for Analog Source Inputs

There are two reasons that the Source Input Gain DIP switches may need to be adjusted:
The volume levels of analog source inputs are high adjust the
DIP switches up or down to boost or cut input level
A- Connect AC power cord to the D5PS
Power Supply.
B- Connect the 24 VDC power cord from
the D5PS Power Supply to the D5SH
Digital Distribution Hub.
If there is noticeable distortion (clipping) coming from analog
source, even at low volume levels - check the clip indicators on
the front of the D5IP to verify clipping and flip the DIP switch to
the down (default) position

Determine the best location for the D5SH and all audio source equipment
(CD player, radio tuner, iPod®, etc.)
Run a Cat5 wire from each room (Zone) Keypad location to the D5SH
Run speaker wiring (16 gauge is recommended) from each Keypad location to
the corresponding speakers located in each room
Be sure to label all wires for easy identification
Connect D5KP Keypads
NOTE:
For maximum audio performance over
long wiring distances (over 150ft) an
additional 16 gauge, 2 conductor wire
is recommend for extra power.
For all zones requiring extra power,
connect the "24 VDC POWER OUT” of
the D5SH to the “POWER IN” of the D5KP.
For more information, consult the D5SH
manual.

Connect Speakers To D5KP Keypads
Strip approximately 1/4" of insulation
from both ends of all speaker wiring.
Twist the exposed end of the wire to
ensure no loose strands remain.
Connect the positive speaker wire to
the positive input of the speaker and
negative speaker wire to each negative
input of each speaker.

Untwist the twist-
ed pair wires and
arrange them in
the order shown
above.
Press all wires
flat between your
thumb and index
fingers and cut
the wires so they
are 1/2" long as
shown above.
Insert the ar-
ranged wires into
the RJ-45 plug
as shown above.
The locking tab
is facing down in
this view.
Finally, crimp the
connector using
a standard RJ-45
crimping tool.
If a local audio source is desired,
such as an iPod® a D5IP Source
Input Wall Plate is required.
Terminate RJ-45 plugs on each end
of the C at5 as shown in step 1A
.
Connect the "local port" of the D5KP
to the RJ-45 input of the D5IP.
Connect the audio source to the
D5IP.

This setup guide is intended for the D5SH and D5SH4 wall-mount Digital Distribution
System. The D5SH is a single source distribution hub, the D5SH4 is a four source
distribution hub. Each D5SH or D5SH4 requires one D5PS power supply. For ease of
reading, the distribution hub will be referred to as the model D5SH.
