Bus Modes
The D1650’s unique Bus Mode feature allows multi-
ple amp Inputs to be internally configured to several
different Outputs. This increases the amp’s flexibili-
ty without the use of extraneous RCA patch cables.
Using Bus A, a signal that is sent into Input 1 will
come out Speaker Outputs 3,5, and 7. Signals sent
to Input 2 will be routed to Outputs 4, 6, and 8.
Using Bus B, a signal that is sent into Input 9 will
come out Speaker Outputs 11,13, and 15. Input 10
will be sent to Speaker Outputs 12,14, and 16.
This example shows two “Wide Coverage Zones,”
one using Variable Outputs from an ELAN Multi-
Zone Controller so that all speakers ramp volume
up/down together, the other using the Fixed output
from an ELAN Multi-Zone Controller and High Power
Volume Controls so that each area has independent
volume up/down control.
