How to Connect
Connecting the Lync 6 / Lync 12 to a Multi-Channel Amplifier(s)
Both variable and fixed stereo line-level outputs are provided on the Lync controller
for every zone. In most cases, you will use the variable outputs to connect the Lync
controller to a multi-channel amplifier in order to control the volume level within a
zone from the LyncTouch or HTD Lync app.
Use the fixed outputs to create sub-zones. A sub-zone listens to the source selected
for the zone but its volume is NOT controlled by the app or LyncTouch. Instead, its
volume is typically controlled by a more traditional rotary or slide-type volume control
connected “in-line” on the speaker cable between the amplifier and the speakers (see Figure 3, page 8). As
an example, you might have a kitchen and dining area that are located side-by-side. In this case, you will
often choose to have the kitchen be the primary zone with volume controlled by the LyncTouch and/or app,
and the dining area’s volume controlled by a more traditional rotary or slide-type volume control. Depending
on your situation, you may or may not need to add more amplifier channels than already provided by the
multi-channel amplifier. Please contact HTD for assistance with more complicated setups.
Connecting the Lync 6 to a Multi-Channel Amplifier
11
Use the Variable Line Outputs on the Lync 6 to connect to the Line Inputs on the amplifiers for each zone. We
include six 3’ shielded stereo patch cables with the Lync 6 for this purpose.
A
mono
3.5mm patch cable (included with your system) should be connected from the Trigger Out on the Lync
6 to the Trigger In on the multi-channel amplifier. The “trigger” is only active when a zone is powered on which
means the multi-channel amplifier is only active when a zone is on. When all zones are off, the multi-channel
amplifier will automatically return to sleep mode.
**Always power off the Lync 6 Controller and multi-channel amplifier before connecting
or disconnecting any 12V Trigger cable.**
