Maestro M9
8. USB CONNECTION -
Your Maestro M9 has the ability to accept
and play audio files from a USB drive. The
USB connection can also be used to update
the unit’s firmware from a downloaded file
saved on a USB drive.
9. FM CONNECTION - This antenna input
should be connected to the supplied FM an-
tenna. For improved reception, you may want
to consider a roof-mounted external antenna.
10. RS232 CONTROL PORT - Use this con-
nection to control your Maestro M9 with an
automation system.
11. 12 VOLT TRIGGER OUTPUTS - These
two outputs provide a +12 Volt trigger signal
to control the turn-on of power amplifiers,
source units, video projector, screens and
curtains in the home theater. (The external
equipment should have corresponding 12
Volt trigger inputs for this to work.) The Z-1
12V output is active whenever the Maestro
M9 is turned on; the Z2 12V output is active
whenever Zone 2 is on.
12. IR (INFRARED) INPUTS -These jacks en-
able the use of external IR sensors for instal-
lations where it is not desirable (or practical)
to use the front panel IR sensor. Z1 is used to
connect to an external IR sensor in the main
room, and Z2 can connect to an external IR
sensor in Zone 2.
13. HDMI INPUTS - These inputs allow the
Maestro M9 to accept digital audio and
video signals from source units equipped with
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Inter-
face) outputs. Make sure your HDMI cables
are properly inserted into these connectors
and that there no sharp “pulls” on the cable
that may prevent your connectors from mak-
ing a complete connection.
14. HDMI OUTPUT - The three HDMI outputs
connect to the HDMI inputs of your TV dis-
plays for zone2, your main home theater, and
an alternate display. Zone 2 output enables
viewing and listening to a source indepen-
dently of the main home theater system.
15. UNBALANCED AUDIO OUTPUTS -
These line-level unbalanced RCA outputs
for left, center, right, surrounds, and surround
backs, can feed external power amplifier to
power the speakers in your system. The sub
1 and sub 2 outputs connect to the line-level
inputs of powered subwoofers. Alternatively,
you can use the XLR balanced outputs if your
power amplifiers have XLR balanced inputs.
ZONE 2 AUDIO OUTPUTS - These line-
level L/R outputs can feed an external stereo
power amplifier to power speakers in Zone 2.
DOLBY ATMOS AUDIO OUTPUTS -
These line-level RCA outputs can feed exter-
nal power amplifier(s) to power Dolby Atmos
speakers and enhance your home theater
experience.
16. BALANCED AUDIO OUTPUTS - These
line-level balanced XLR outputs for left, cen-
ter, right, surrounds, surround backs, and sub-
woofer can feed external power amplifier(s)
to power the speakers in your system. The
subwoofer output connects to the line-level
input of a powered subwoofer.
Balanced connections offer better rejection of
noise and interefence, and are a better choice
if your power amplifiers have balanced inputs.
The surround back balanced outputs can be
used to feed external power amplifier(s) to
power zone 2 speakers, surround back speak-
ers, Dolby Atmos speakers, or to biamp the
front speakers. The OSD on screen display
allows you to select which speakers are being
used.
For example, if you do not have surround
back speakers, then you can use these bal-
anced outputs to feed the inputs of external
power amplifiers to power your zone 2 and
Dolby Atmos speakers, or to biamp the front
speakers instead.
