How many units may I put on one 15
amp breaker?
It depends. Since you are limited to
1500 watts per device by most codes,
there should be a separate 15 amp
circuit for each unit.
The circumstances where the RS
500 draws maximum power are very
rare outside of an engineering lab.
Maximum power is using a sine wave
input which has at least a third higher
energy density than music. This would
mean that all channels are operating
at maximum, an unlikely situation
even during a really fun party. Even
more unlikely is all channels on multi-
ple units operating at full output.
You know the system better than we
do, so it is your decision. If the only
use is background music, then the
one-eighth power in the specifications
is a reasonable (actually conserva-
tive) power draw. Of course, you will
want to include a margin of safety for
unusual circumstances. And in the
final analysis, you have to do what the
electrical inspector tells you to do.
What should I use the “Trim” controls in
the browser for?
The Trim controls are an easy-to-ac-
cess level setting control which you
can use while in the zone. The Trim
controls allow minor not major adjust-
ments.
