Figure 8: Interfacing the PA4100X with an MRC88 Zones 7 & 8
In this case:
1. Using good quality RCA Stereo Patch Cords, connect the
Preamp Outputs
of
Zone 7
on the MRC88 to
the
Left and Right Audio Inputs
labeled
‘A’
on the rear of the PA4100X.
2. Similar to step 1, connect the
Preamp Outputs
of
Zone 8
on the MRC88 to the
Left and Right Audio
Inputs
labeled
‘B’
on the rear of the PA4100X.
3. Using two 3.5mm
Stereo
Mini Plug cables, connect the
Remote Amp CO1
jack on the rear of the
MRC88 to the
CI1
jack on the rear of the PA4100X
4. Similar to step 3, connect the
Remote Amp CO2
jack on the rear of the MRC88 to the
CI2
jack on the
rear of the PA4100X.
5. Set the CI Switch (Item #14) to the ON (UP) position.
The
Remote Amp CO1 & CO2
(Remote Control Jack) from the MRC88 allows for individual Zone control
directly from the Zone 7 & 8 keypads of the MRC88 system. When any one of the zones is turned on, the
PA4100X is powered ON. Similarly, when either Zone is powered down, the associated amplifier pair on the
PA4100X is put into STANDBY Mode. When both Zones (7 & 8) are powered down, the PA4100X will either
go into STANDBY Mode on both amplifier pairs or will be POWERED OFF depending upon the position of the
front panel POWER/STANDBY button (IN = STANDBY; OUT = ON/OFF).
